Glucosamine

[Butterbun]

Anyone taking this? I'm thinking of trying as a friend thought it might help my knee joint. Would appreciate any positive info.

I have some.

Got it in a big bottle at Costco.

I'm not so much against it as Sqad..summary of a Cochrane review (25 studies with 4963 patients):

"People with osteoarthritis who take glucosamine:
- may reduce their pain
- may improve their physical function
- will probably not have side effects"

If I had osteoarthritis I might give it a try - at least it seems to have little in the way of side effects.
