Glucosamine

Hi
Just wondered if anyone has had any bad experiences with glucosamine for joint pain. Cy Willson has an artical here stateing it may not be good for muscle growth. He does recommend Chondroitin for joint pain. I belive the article is from 1999 so it may be a little out of date.

i like it when my shoulder pain flares up, but i have noticed my gains slow down while i’m on it. i read somewhere that it did afect insulin sensitivty or something, but don’t remember where i heard it. whatever-it’s worth a minor plateu to kep my joints workin’

incidently, i’m on a glucosamine/MSM combo at 3,000 g a day right now. and, my shoulder feels much better…

It was bad for you in theory but didn’t pan out in the real world or something.

Douglas Kalman wrote a new article that talks about it.

I switched to Coral Calcium and MSM, together they seem to work well.
