Cazi .. I take glucosamine sulphate which is for my joints. There is also glucosamine and chondroitin. The chondroitin is made from either shark cartilege or the trachea of a cow.
The reason for saying that is that shark's are now an endangered species and everyone's beginning to say shark's cartilege should not be used any longer when there are alternatives. Even my osteopath told me to check the source!
Anyroad glucosamine - it seems - is showing real benefit for arthritis sufferers. Chondroitin is also good. I just take the glucosamine on its own and I must say - after four months - my joints (particularly my knees which are just getting old and creaky) are much much better. I do have PA in some joints and my thumbs are also noticeably happier!!
