QUOTE(phoenix @ Jul 20 2007, 09:07 PM) I took GNC's Glucosamine 750MG with Chrondotine 650MG and it works wonder. Currently taking Kordels Glucosamine 550MG to maintain. Is GNC the same as livewell brand ?How long before you can see the improvement in GNC for your athritis ? Why did u switch to kordel if GNC is effective ? |

QUOTE(phoenix @ Jul 20 2007, 09:13 PM) Errr... Does this livewell have a website. GNC's motto is Live Well so I'm not sure whether is it the same thing you are referring to? when u say 'improvements', you mean you can run now ? Now I can only walk but not run. Tell me what was the improvements... ie. before taking and after taking.I seen improvements in around 2 months. And I switched to Kordel cause GNC too expensive. GNC has Chrondotine in it which futher helps repair. If no repair is needed, just take Glucosamine Sulphate. I think Live well is just a brand of GNC. Thanks for the info. I was afraid of being cheated. Too many fake products around. |

QUOTE(phoenix @ Jul 21 2007, 12:26 AM) Well... I am a runner. You can see how active I am in the marathoner's thread here. I used to have Runner's Knee, meaning thining of the knee cartilage wall. I stop running due to that and has been researching on how can I cope with it. This is where I learnt of Glucosamine so I drop by at GNC and went through their catalogue. And from there I chose this product. After thaking for 2 months, I felt so much better than I can start to jog. And after 3 months, of taking it, I ran the KL International Marathon 42KM without any problems. So to me, Glucosamine saved my knee. Thank you very much for the info. Hopefully I will be able to run again after taking this. I have a bit of knee pain too. It is not really expensive if you know where to buy. I saw one shop that sells 2 boxes (250mg per tablet) of glusosamine and one box of condrotine together as one packet selling for around 60++.

QUOTE(phunkydude @ Jul 22 2007, 11:05 PM) phoenix, are you sure u got the right term? i'm confused myself woh. must take both or take one type ?glucosamine sulphate - helps to produce the "lubricant" chondroitin sulphate - helps maintaining the "lubricant" as in slowing down the process of catrilage breakdown. hope u can do more research before consuming it. hehehh anyway, I bought glucosamine and chondroitin today. Livewell brand, the pharmacist said it is local brand and not the same as GNC livewell. I think that local company want to confuse people and buy their product. anyway, hopefully it will be effective for me. If not |

QUOTE(phoenix @ Jul 23 2007, 08:50 PM) By the way, I have done my research long time ago. . I saw the ad in the papers yesterday. Manufactured locally by some company call Pahang Pharmaceutical. how much u buy from kordel per tablet ?I just looked at live-well brand. they asked me to take one tablet 500 mg twice a day. ie. one day 1000 mg or 1 g. Do you think it is enough ? furthermore, the chrondroitin sulphate 250 mg , chicken collage type 2 200 mg in one tablet also twice a day. So I paid 60 tablets of 500 mg glucosamine with free 60 tablets of chrodroitin 250 mg for just RM 63. Do you think it is cheap or not ? |
