Can you suggest for me a good joint care supplement for my dad {65 yr}? he is suffering from hypertension that is why he cannot take move free pills.

Glucosamine: Glucosamine with chondroitin sulfate taken orally appear to be safe although there were some reports that suggested that glucosamine administered intravenously can raise the blood pressure. This supplement has helped some patients with osteoarthritis. If your dad takes it,monitor his blood pressure. Most people should give it about three months before judging whether it helps or not.
