Guest guest Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I've been taking GS for several years now to avoid arthritis and for basic joint support. I take only 500 mgs per day. I want to increase my daily dosage to 1500 mg. I've read that it should be taken as 500mg 3 X's per day. Is there any reason not to take 1500 mgs of GS in one dose? Is the body able to absorb this amount at once? If anyone has any experience with this, I'd appreciate the input, thanks. An interesting article about GS is: http://www.icnr.com/GlucosamineSulfate/GlucosamineSulfate.html Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of my Glucosamine Sulfate intake as a preventative for joint problems, hoping that time will tell in old age that it was worth the supplementation over the years. I believe that it helps avoid the deteriation of the cushioning cartlidge between the joints, and this is my goal. A friend of mine at work is in her 50's also, and has already had two knee replacements. She had me feel her knees before the operations, and I'm convinced it was 'bone on bone' and she was in a lot of pain. I'd like to leave this world with all my original parts Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 For arthritis ailments and joint pain what about Gelatine - which provides the building blocks for collagen—the primary structural protein in cartilage and bone; and how about flaxseed oil, also Linda M Nnew York ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 If you combine Glucosamine with chondroitin, MSM, calcium-magnesium complex and Glelatin you have a combination that rebuilds the cartilege, tissue and bones. This is also well known to reduce pain, inflammation and nerve irritation.

I think I'll stick with the GS, I never have been a big fan of gelatin, especially now with all the new diseases out there. Gelatin comes from parts of cattle, pigs and horses. If these animal parts are infected then there can be a problem. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease) and it's human affecting partner, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) are two reasons I won't ingest gelatin. If it's processed properly and the animals used are healthy there may not be a concern, but I really don't trust anyone to do their job properly anymore. After the melamine in the dog food ingredients which caused kidney failure, I'm not too trusting anymore. It caused a higher protein reading so they could sell it to the US for more, and unfortunately it all comes down to the almighty dollar. People take shortcuts too often and don't do things the proper way. Flaxseed oil is good, I think any kind of oil (fish, evening primrose, borage)is beneficial as it lubricates the joints, but I don't believe it actually builds protective cartlidge.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 That is because your body didn't need extra calcium, necessarily, it needed the vitamin D to help absorb it. When you take calcium, you need to take vitamin D to help your body to absorb it.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Oh, I've got to hear more about this, Thea! I don't drink milk - use a little in cereal once in a while, though. I do take a calcium/magnesium supplement every night. I am noticing some slight joint pains here and there and want to get on top of them before they are more than minor. What did you find out about calcium pills, and is it any certain type? I do notice I feel better in the summer, and I don't worry at all about getting some sun. But I attributed that to moving around more, the warmth and swimming.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I take calcium but I take the calcium citrate. I had heard things about the calcium carbonate, not sure what they were, but was told to switch to the citrate. It is very important to take D w/your calcium if it isn't in the vitamin already.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Perhaps it is because calcium citrate is more easily assimilated by the body. Yes, Vit. D is essential for absorption of calcium. I read some studies that say that Vit. D is very important in cancer prevention.
