    Have you done any research or google searches on it? Or are you starting research from scratch here? Tell us what you know about them.

    Gaspaco is right MSM is better and cheaper than glucosamine and chondroitin.

    From my research. There are a lot of people who believe that glucosamine can cause insulin resistance. Which will make you gain weight more easily. Because your body will have a harder time regulating blood sugar levels.

    Also I would think that if you are insulin resistant you probably wont be getting the full advantage of your IGF-1. So I would think it may inhibit growth to some point as well. (Personal thought, I have not seen literature showing this.)

    I'm with them. I use MSM. It seems to work. And so far I haven't found anything negative on it.
