Question 2

hi wondering if it is safe to take a liquid calcium supplement at night with glucosamine chondroitin and msm supplement?

Accepted Answer

Yes: safe, good that you asked, always exercise caution with multiple medications, best wishes

Question 3

is taking joint supplements containing glucosamine, msm, chondroitin harmful or has any side effects in any way, especially on the kidney or liver?

Accepted Answer

No way to tell : Unfortunately, dietary supplements are regulated as foods (as opposed to drugs).  As such, they are not required to undergo the same testing (or prove their claims to be true). Also, since no third party testing of their product is required - the ingredients listed don't even have to match what is in the bottle.  Wish I had a better answer ... Good luck!

Question 5

question for my dad: he wants to get some joint supplement, he do not suffer any joint pain/do not exercise a lot just once a week, what content of glucosamine should he get? w msm/chondrotin sulfate? thanks!

Accepted Answer

Exercise is better: There are many ways to exercise. Walking is a great choice. Normal joints are kept healthy by using them. The cartilage is helped by loading, by use, by movement. Supplements might help some folks, but my advice, based on what you wrote: encourage him to exercise! perhaps you can do it together.
