Is it safe and useful to use glucosamine to heal tendonitis? also what happens when i use amino acids for body building?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: It is safe to use nutritional supplements such as glucosamine sulfate, but not very effective. Tendonitis does not usually respond to nutritional supplements.
