I’ve found that the store brand Glucosamine supplement works better for me than any of the similar big name stuff. My joints generally feel better and lots of activity doesn’t bother me.
Oh good :)! So your body is happier AND it's less pricey. Win win!
For joints, a number of studies have shown that 15g of gelatin works far better than glucosamine supplements.
Gelatin is made from the marrow of cows and greatly enhances both skin and joints. (Apparently people used to eat a lot more bone broth, but we’ve stopped.)
I mix it into a protein drink in the AM. 1 tablespoon. But it works in cold or hot water (just don’t let formerly hot gelatin cool down or it turns to jello).
You can also just mix it into soup or whatever.
