A member asked:
Please tell me can glucosamine be used as a preventative measure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, glucoasmine can help prevent the progression of arthritis which is what it has been approved to treat. It must be used for as least 4 months to see benefit. I would recommend pairing it with chodroitin, the pill may come with both. This is the best to help maintain cartilage.
