Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM

I am wondering if anyone has tried the Glucosamine for the joint problem in the jaw? It is supposed to help joint problems, so why not the jaw? I started taking it about two weeks ago and my jaw and ear actually seem better.

This is something you can buy without prescription.

Re: Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM

Hi:

My homeopath started me on MSM, which I believe is different than glucosamine. MSM is good for building up joints, connective tissue, gum ligaments, allergies (I haven't noticed any change there). Within a few days my gums started looking pinkier.

Take care.

Re: Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM

Hi Saaraah:

I take Phyto Pharmica/Enzymatic Therapy MSM. 2 pills 3 times a day, with meals, so I go through a bottle of 90 pretty quickly. Each bottle is about $20.

Saaraah, if you're going to take MSM, or other supplements, don't buy the regular drugstore variety. They aren't the best quality or purest. Find a healthfood or other store that knows their business and purchase professional brands, those are brands made for doctors, naturopaths, homeopaths, etc. They usually don't contain fillers or possible allergens like wheat, corn, milk products, yeast, colour, preservatives, etc, and the source of the main ingredient is usually better.

Take care.

Re: Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM

The only ones I have purchased are the drug store variety. There are several brands. Some are just Glucosamine, some are Glucosamine Chondroitin, some are Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM. The price varies but none are too cheap. The one I am taking has all three in it. A lot of my friends take some form of Glucosamine for bad knees, hips, etc., and most say it really works for them. I have seen people stop limping altogether after taking it. It takes about a month, however, to notice improvement.
