Ive read it can take as long as four weeks to kick in.
I had problems with my elbow a few times. I'd use some sportscreme or bengay until the glucosamine kicks in. Also doesn't flax seed oil help with the joints?
no i dont think flax does, i have taken glucosamine and it has never seemed to work for me![]()

All of the customers who have told me it helps all said it takes about 2 months to
work. Other customers took it for that long & said they noticed nothing. I took it for
10 weeks & didn't notice much.
As for a dose, at least 1500mg per day.

it took 4 weeks for my shoulder to stop hurting @ 1 pill 3Xs aday
1.5g per pill
the only prob with it is how long it takes to work, tylonol arthritis works great for joint pain
yea i was taking Glucosamine with MSM, it was 1.5g 3 times a day. I keep forgetting to take it. But i did take if for a month straight, after 2 weeks my shoulders were feeling great.
they are usually like horse pills
I can tell you from first hand experience that this stuff works and works well.There was a point in my life when I had no access to supplements and during this period I blew my left rotator cuff or damaged my left shoulder very badly doing behind the neck pull ups......I was not able to do even a single push up without severe pain......so needless to say a year went by before I was able to have supplements again and the first thing I boought was Glucosamine/Chondroitin...and after going a year with severe pain it only took about 2 months tops until I was pretty much fully recovered other than my shoulder grinding ocasionaly.....
Try and find a product that is glucosamine and chondroitin, because this combination is very effective, dosage wise 1000mg glucosamine and 800mg chondroitin will do the trick. As for time it usually takes about 6-10 weeks to kick in.
