A member asked:
Can glucosamine supplements work and can they help rebuild damaged tissues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe and no: It remains controversial if glucosamine has any real benefit. There have been studies that have drawn totally opposite conclusions. If you try it take at least 1, 500 mg daily for at least 3 months before deciding if it has value. No, it does not rebuild damaged tissues.
