What people say about Glucosamine and recovery
“I started taking 20mg iron bisglycinate before bed along with glucosamine and chondroitin, which significantly reduced the RLS.”
“I have tried Turmeric & Glucosamine for joint health, didn't notice much difference.”
“Glucosamine is key to extending the time between when I need another round of RF. My pain management doc was saying not even to bother and then I mentioned glucosamine and he stopped and said, 'Except that... Keep taking that it will totally help.'”
“The soreness in my knees due to running and weights(Squats) is now negligible within 2 months of taking glucosamine 1500mg supplement.”
