You may try this - TGC (Transdermal Glucosamine Cream) to apply on the affected part. My dad is 73 years old and was having knee problem, after using this, feel much more better now. It is more effective than those oral solution.

Hey guys, i need some assistance here, im currently lifting weights and i guess i hurt my Shoulder joint, so even if im just holding a weighted barbell, my right shoulder hurts. My trainer suspects its the same shoulder problem his got too. So he advised me to rest, and maybe take some glucosamine.
Which would you recommend me buying, as i saw the Glucosaming and Chondroitin, not sure which to take. Please advise.

my dad is taking procosa2 which contain glucosamine and tumeric. Glucosamine and turmeric are powerful ingredients that work together to provide lasting support.

if u wish to get gnc product i can give advice.. see my sign

live well is by pahang pharmacy
GNC is by itself cater more for higher income group

Glucosamine is to help you to supplement , but condratin is reduce pain. if the worse case one should go for injection.

Do take chondroitin along with glucosamine. It synergises the effect.

I have done my result into this subject. Just want to share in layman terms:-

1. Glucosamine Sulphate (GS) is the basic component of the cartilage. GS will produce the matrix of the cartilage including the fluid or you call it the lubricant in between the cartilages. Sulphate acts as a glue to bind the GS

2. Chondroin sulphate (CS) is a polymer of GS. The molecule weight for CS is 10,000 dalton and above whereas, GS is 456.62 dalton. Many GS makes CS. In simple term, CS is Sugar, GS is Glucose. If you take sufficient GS, there is no need to take CS, because eventually CS will be broken down to GS in the intestine and the huge molecule makes it difficult to be absorb. So, do you take a flight or drive to Singapore?

3. Recent studies show that sometimes arthritis (Osteo) affects the bone, Combination of GS + CS have some effect on preventing accessive bone breakdown which affects Arthritis.

4. Numerous studies show that 1500mg/daily of GS is sufficient to help on pain relieve and in long run strengthen the cartilage.

5. If you take a proven brand, you will get a pain relieve as soon as 2 - 4 weeks. You will also feel relieve of other symptoms such as the cracking sound on the knee, stiffness on the knee joint in the morning,

6. Transdermal GS is not effective because the absorption rate is very weak.

Good luck and speedy recovery~!

Where do you get the TGC = Transdermal Glucosamine Cream ?

Thanks and regards

i have gnc glucosamine and coq-10 stock now.. pm me

The most effective dosages reported in the medical research studies is 1,500 mg Glucosamine and 1,200 mg Chondroitin sulfate per day, usually taken in divided dosages; total daily dosage divided over 2 or 3 smaller dosages; taken in the morning, (afternoon), and evening.

GNC's GNC Glucosamine 750mg Chondroitin 600mg is selling RM327.90 for 120 tablets, RM2.73 each or RM5.465/day for 60 days supplement. So, work out the cost per day to determine the cost per day.

Added on October 10, 2011, 1:58 amThanks for sharing valuable info on this subject. Which brand do you recommend from your research/experience?

I just started taking Blackmores Joint Formula with 750mg GS and 225 CS for RM120+ for 2 bottles X 60 capsules to be taken 2 capsules a day. Wondering if the CS amount is sufficient, my condition started after active swimming and hiking recently. Started feeling friction at shoulder and cracking sound at knee joint. Guess got to go slow for awhile to reduce stress to the joints.

Will it works for TFCC Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Tear ? wrist pain ?

I used to use Gluco to relieve my knees from lots of jump smashes. It does help a bit. Not cheap. But after I drink kangen water it the pain went away. My guess is that it could be due to the acid building up over a period of time.

Those who want to try it free can let me know. It's just a miracle water thats all. Call 012 7003361 to pick up. Bring a couple of 100plus empty bottles.

nver heard of it..

Stop trolling mate, else you will be reported! This is NOT Kopitiam

My dad is suffering from knee pain as well. Went to GNC to look for the supplements. It cost a bomb.

Any forum member had other brands to intro and where to get it ?
