Which ones better? I tried taking Glucosamine years ago but I was younger and probably didn't need it then. But I have been hearing a lot about Turmeric and trying to take that now but wondering if I should take both or not. Any suggestions?

Ive been taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin for a few weeks after seeing how it worked on our family cat. She was quite lame and after a few weeks was jumping up and off walls.

Its excellent stuff. Ive quite bad arthritis in my back and hip which i hardly notice now. I take three a day. I also take turmeric but not daily.

been taking 1440 mgs of tumeric for many years daily; never read it's bad for the liver; only that it's excellent for the liver as it protects it from a lot of other toxins from other drugs - anything in real high doses is bad for our bodies no matter

Turmeric shots now and again. I don't do a daily supplement tho...

never heard of tumeric shots - do they work ?

Its a shot via mouth lol not a shot in the arm. I think it helps. Usually swing by my local juice shop after my bi weekly 'hike' and get a tumeric shot while I wait for the rest of my order.

oh cool

You can make one yourself really easily

Just do some coconut water or raw cane juice, add lime or lemon juice, add some turmeric powder and ginger or black pepper. Shake, pour, enjoy.
