anyway, it's a fact that chondroitin sulphate is to maintain as in slowing down the catrilage breakdown.. 
but NOT repairing or u so-called for more SERIOUS condition.

consult doctor for more professional advice, i'd say.

some ppl just go for glucosamine, coz for them it's effective.
this is because, glucosamine is for producing the "lubricant".
"not enough.. -> feel pain ...  ->eat glucosamine ... -> feels ok"
so when u eat glucosamine as ur daily supplementary consuption...  of course that..  u'll feel ok... and think glucosamine does the right thing.
but once u stop eating it.. , ur "lubricant" not maintain well... it wears out too fast..
so u stop eating it, ur joints pain will come back immediately... coz it cannot maintain well..  while all these while eating glucosamine that only "produce".

however,  for those who prefer to eat it for lifetime non-stop... obviously they won't feel the pain back.
that's thier choice though..

I am taking Kordel's Glucosamine 550. It has higher strength and most of my pharmacist friend recommends it.

This is because some of the customers says that Live-well Glucosamine is not effective.

So far, Kordel's Glucosamine is pretty effective and I have been taking it for more than 6 months now. Most importantly, Kordel's Glucosamine 550 is sodium free. Sodium is bad and may cause high blood pressure and kidney stones.

Not sure about GNCs but it is really expensive. With the economic downturn... $$$ we have to find ways to save $$$$. rolleyes.gif

Look out for 'Salt Free' Glucosamine.

You don't want to have High Blood Pressure or put on weight unneccsary. Extra salt cause water to be kept in the body.

So make sure it is Salt Free... Most Glucosamine that is 'Salt Free' will carry the word 'Sodium Free'.

My mum was taking Viatril-S and her blood pressure was really high. It was then a pharmacist in Guardian recommends that she take Kordel's Glucosamine 550 that is 'salt free' that she is able to control her blood pressure.

I am so pleased that her blood pressure is well controlled now.
