Glucosamine... Don't be fooled.!

ARE THERE ALTERNATIVES FOR GLUCOSAMINE-CHONDROTIN TREATMENT FOR PAINFUL KNEES?

Extract..." There are also numerous natural treatments and herbs which effectively relief pain in the same manner as synthetic BRMs. Amongst them are boswellia tree extract, celadrin, devil’s claw, cat’s claw, evening primrose herb, ginger, turmeric and olive phenols. The best part? Many of these natural treatments have little or no side-effects...."


To those of you, who have been listening to your doctors, and have been faithfully swallowing those Glucosamine/chondrotin pills for your painful knees, I am glad finally there is a definitive study to show that at best, imbibing these pills have just a placebo effect. And some of you maybe allergic to the stuff, as glucosamine is manufactured from sea shells... Just look at the alternatve remedies, like Ginger, Turmeric and Olive Oil...They are healthier, and taste good too..
