recommend a liquid brand of glucosamine chondroitin MSM?

[Diana49 15]

Can anyone recommend a liquid brand of glucosamine chondroitin MSM? I take Osteo Bi-flex brand in pill form now for joint pain, but they do not appear to make the formula in liquid form. I take two a day, and they are big horse pills, which will be a problem swallowing after surgery.

I cannot recommend one but I would urge you to google chondritin and joint pain. Consumer reports had an article saying the glucosamine really helps, the chondritin does absolutely nothing except inflate the price. Again, not my opinion because I am completely ignorant on. This issue, I just remember stupid stuff I read for no reason

And actually I lied because if you are okay with just glucosamine, then I have read rave reviews on joint juice which they sell at costco. My husband's friend also swears by it, but again, not my personal experience.

Thanks, Gamer Girl... I too have read Consumer Reports and lots of other conflicting research on this issue. It also seems that glucosamine sulfate is preferable to the more typical glucosamine hydrochloride. I just hate to mess with the formula that has been working for me. But I am going to be forced to think about it now. I will check out joint juice at costco. Thanks again..... Diana 49

I never received any relief from glucosamine/MSM. The only thing that has ever helped is the MegaRed Joint Care. It has Krill Oil and hyaluronic acid, which is the same stuff I have injected into my knees every year (Orthovisc). They sell it at costco and on Amazon. http://www.schiffmegared.com/megared-joint-care-30-count

That's interesting. I already take krill oil, and I am reading that glucosamine increases the body's production of hyaluronic acid. Makes me wonder which of my supplements may actually be working best for osteoarthritis, or whether the combo of all of it is what is effective. Thanks for your input to this ongoing research project! Diana 49

I've read so much about fish oil and krill oil reducing joint inflammation. My CRP levels stay the same no matter how much of it I take and the pain used to be the same. Apart from serious meds, the only thing that has helped them is no sugar, no simple carbs. But I know this isn't everyone's experience. A LOT of people report relief with fish oil.

I take a powdered drink mix called Joint juice. Tastes good.

Thanks ... That's the second recommendation I've received for that one.
