Glucosamine and Chrondroitin/ what is it?Read the article this discussion is about
This archived discussion is "read only". » jrjo - I'm a believer I just completed the Twin Cities marathon with pain free hips and knees. I have been taking Glucosamine Sulfate/Chondrotin Sulfate for over a year now. After the initial couple months that are needed for it to take effect, I have noticed dramatic lessening in the twinges in my knees and the pains in my hip. I suffered from Legg Calves Perthes as a child and have had hip stiffness for much of my life. Running during my school days was pain free, but entering my 30s had brought back hip aches. The GC has tamed down the aches and allows me to run in the 20 to 40 miles per week range.-- posted by jrjo » G2Jim - Re: Re: Cholesterol affected by GC? In response to message posted by Lynn:I used to have lower back pain/popping vertebra every morning requiring stretching exercises to pop it back and releive the pain, in addition to hip pain when I would run or walk medium distances. After taking a Glucosamine/Condroitin/MSM supplement for a little over a year now, my symptoms have almost totally disappeared. I seriously doubt any connection to increased cholesterol levels, since mine used to be 180 and is now down to 159 with no medication; just watching my diet and moderate exercise. -- posted by G2Jim -- posted by rita221 » silv59 - Cholesterol?
