Mixed Signals On The Dosage

[fmdog44]

Glucosamine/Chondroitin - I have a bottle manufactured by Solgar and the recommended dose is three pills, 1500 mg each (4,500 mg). I just read in Arthritis Today magazine the recommended dose is 500 mg/day. ? I'll stop taking the 1500 three times per day unless I feel an increase in pain.

I've used various brands of the above over the years and the kind I'm using now calls for 4 capsules, it also contains MSM which I in powder form daily for years. I take 3 caps of my current and the one before called for 4 and I took 4 for years.

See how you do on the 500, you could be shorting yourself.

I remember well the words of a dear friend now departed, said G/C kept her walking better for the 25 yrs she took it, and she walked circles around me....but again she didn't get messed up with hip replacement surgery which I feel did a lot of damage.

My friend lived to 95 and was still walking blocks before she passed, heart finally gave out.
