NOW Supplements Glucosamine & MSM with GreenGrown® Glucosamine - 240 Vegetarian Capsules for Joint Support & Mobility - Ideal for Active Lifestyles, Athletes & Seniors

My husband has been using it for years!! It’s really good and help him with his kneesThis is the plant based Glucosamine. Costs more but nearly impossible to find in stores.Others all made from shellfish.MSM gave me a lot of gas, so I stopped taking it.I started taking this product decades ago and love the fact that I now 60 have no joint problems at all. They are easy to swallow, have no side affects and quietly work. There has never been any stomach issues from taking this product.Nice to have a non shellfish option. We'll see how it goesI have used this NOW Vegetarian Glucosamine & MSM for years. I am allergic to shellfish, so this is a blessing. I am convinced it has saved my back from any major trauma. I used to have severe back pain in the past, not now.My family has had 5 major back surgeries, and none of them have been successful. They are crippled or died that way.I won’t recommend any vitamin or medicine, but I’d ask you to try this for at LEAST 6 MONTHS. I am not making promises, but it’s a real possibility to alleviate pain., at least for me.WORKS!! BUT! For about two months my back better and better. and everything else got worse and worse. I started getting daily headaches staring with a stiff neck and creeping up the back of my head. worsening brain fog. SO many things can cause this, this supplement was not even a thought until I forgot to take it on vacation and suddenly my headaches were gone and I felt like a real person for the first time in months. I stopped taking it and sure enough, my back pain and SI joint pain are back. So this does work and I truly believed it would be a bunch of hooey. no anti inflammatories have ever helped. Even a degenerated disc in my back felt better.But.. sulfites in the MSM are a common cause for headaches and migraines, so if you're mysteriously suffering from these, consider this. Sulfites are also commonly found in wines and other brewed beverages. It was cider that finally made the lightbulb go off that it's sulfites that are to blame.NOW also makes a pure glucosamine, so ordered some and will keep my fingers crossed that it works just as well without the nasty side effects.I suffer from joint pain and recently underwent surgery on my hip. Wanting to find a natural way to ease pain and maintain joint health, I began researching glucosamine and chondroitin.Chondroitin is a naturally occurring substance formed of sugar chains. Chondroitin is believed to help the body maintain fluid and flexibility in the joints. Glucosamine is sugar protein that helps your body build cartilage (the hard connective tissue located mainly on the bones near your joints). Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance found in bones, bone marrow, shellfish and fungus. Chondroitin and glucosamine is a combination product that has been used in alternative medicine as a possibly effective aid in treating osteoarthritis pain. Other uses requiring additional research have included treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, cataracts, glaucoma, bladder problems, heart disease, high cholesterol, or tmj. I was excited to try this supplement and needed a vegetarian version since it is typically derived from shellfish and I have recently developed an adult onset allergy to it. I have taken this supplement for about a month and have noticed less stiffness and pain in my joints. I also do not have the fatigue I generally experience after spending all day on my feet in the classroom. Overall I am very pleased with this product and it's value.Acredito que a cápsula vegetariana torna o produto mais saudável.I am not able to see the diffrences of usng glucosamine or not. May be vegi tablets are Less potency. Manufacturer may like to replyIt is ok...but bit slow in resultIt is a very good product.Good
