Does anybody have any information regarding the body's ability to
process 1500mg of Glucosamine in one tablet, as oppossed to 500mg
tablets taken three times daily? I know with Vitamin C, the body can
only process so much and then urinates out the rest of it. Does this
apply to Glucosamine? I would rather take one tablet daily given the
option.

Thanks,
Bryan Walton

How does glucosamine help you? I took 1500 mg for two years but didn't
notice any real change. I guess I took it because I heard that it helps
knee damage and felt that at the very least it couldn't hurt. Last week my
new family doctor and an orthopedic surgeon told me that I was essentially
throwing money away and advised me to stop. After a week of not taking it,
I can't tell any difference yet. I am a 59 yo male with major surgeries on
both knees and still playing tennis twice a week. So I am interested in
your experience with glucosamine and that of others who are taking it. I'm
not sure yet if my doctors' advice is best for me.
