Joint help

Not what the title might suggest!!

Does anyone take any joint supplements? I was thinking maybe this is something I should consider taking, as I don't want to have bad knees when I am older. My mum suffers with hers a bit and I want to try and prevent it if I can.

    I've been taking Glucosamine & Chondroitin tablets daily for about a year and they seem to be working pretty well for me so far.

    Same and I do recommend them...it takes awhile to build up but my knees feel much better.

    I take Glucosamine and MSM and it really seems to help, but not overnight. I have been taking it for around 5 weeks now and it seems better all the time. Hard to tell what is the supplement and what is from just weighing less but I am not going to argue with it.

    How many a day of the Glucosamine do you take, may be what I need!

    I take this one "Schiff Glucosamine HCl, 2000mg Per 2 Gelcaps- 150ct"

    I take 3 per day which is the recommended dosage.

    I take Kirkland (Costco brand), 2 pills a day. In the morning, without food.

    Thanks guys - I have no problems at the moment, but I think prevention is the way forward here. It can't hurt me to take them, and they can only be beneficial. I'll go and get myself some when I get paid!
