i'm taking BiO-LiFE's Glucosamine.
They have Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulphate too. Maybe i should try getting that for my mom. Kinda worried with her taking viatril-S (read earlier that it elevates high blood pressure because of the salt content)

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 ?
Many thanks for the help.....

The local GNC outlets here will skin you alive. Outrageous prices. You might
as well order from their stores in the States.

Singapore's GNC prices used to be much cheaper, but the exchange rate has
nullified that.



I told this woman in my office about Nature's Best years ago, and
she has been ordering from them regularly since.

Deduct 20 % VAT from the prices, then add 25 % for shipping by Royal Mail,
so in effect shipping is virtually free.

Make sure you don't order more than two pots at a time, especially the
bigger ones, or else customs may seize them.

Healthspan is having its annual sale. They charge a flat 6 pounds for shipping, though.

Collagen is synergistic, and in some cases works when glucosamine and
chondroitin do not, but a little expensive here.

Cetyl myristoleate, (CMO), or Celadrin, is also synergistic, but expensive here too.
You can also get it from Iherb.

I used to give Natrol's CMO to my father.

Green lipped mussel has been around long before glucosamine and chondroitin,
and in some cases, works better. I used to order it from New Zealand in those
days for my late mum.

The only problem might be allergy to shellfish.

Here's something worth trying out. Eggshell.

tissue disorders. Results from two open-label human clinical studies.

If it's rheumatoid arthritis , i doubt any supplements will help as it's an autoimmune disease that attacks the joints. If it's not , then it's advisable to supplement with Glucosamine, Chodrotin Sulphate, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrolyzed collagen.

I find Malaysians are getting fleeced by the local pharmacies, we're basically paying through our noises for inferior supplements. As some one mentioned above, order supplements from the USA , it's so much cheaper and better quality. Among the retailers, iherb.com offers the cheapest delivery charge by DHL somemore, most of the time it's only US$8 per parcel (within 1kg I think). Have stopped buying from local stores.

Choose to your heart's content : http://bit.ly/1bHmUWe

I personally recommend this http://bit.ly/1oL7tPK
By the way, the sodium content is miniscule compare to your daily meals you eat, so don't worry about getting hypertension from this.

Hi, good to know I found this post very useful. Lots of information shared by yourself. But I have the issue 2 months ago..I tore my LCL "Lateral Collateral Ligament" (not completely tore) during my Full Marathon.

2 days after the run the pain went off. Literally no pain at all walking, jumping, squats no issues at all. Since I thought it went away I did a LSD 2 weeks later, after a 12km run the pain came like a lightning and I couldn't continue running, can't even lift off my knee but was ok to walk slowly. Unbearable pain all I could do is apply ice every 30mins even sprays was useless can't bend my knee

The pain disappeared the next day. I did research and did a MRI scan and found it was a minor tear causing it. So orthopedic told me off running for 6 weeks then gradually increase it. So last weekend I did my SCKLM 21km..no pain but after my run the pain came back. Again applying ice and etc.

This is what I've been taking "OrthoFlex www.mybioversa.com" on a daily basis for the past 1 year even before the pain also I took collagen recently past 1 month to fix my cartilage by increasing the dosage for 3 packets daily. And I still feel the pain there.

Now I'm thinking should I start trying GNC Triflex ? What supplement can I take to fix my LCL which is tore? I did asked my orthopedic he told me rest will do. But I'm just trying to see what other options do I have.

Appreciate if you could advice based on your experience.
