A member asked:
Does anyone know how much glucosamine i should take to help heal a torn ligament?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controversial: There is considerable debate over whether glucosamine works at all. I believe that it does help repair cartilage if taken at a dose of 1500 mg of glucosamine per day. The chondroitin probably does not help. There is almost no evidence that it helps torn ligaments.
