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.
Keep in mind glucosamine is not a drug but a dietary supplement.
Manufacturers need to show its afety, but do not need to show it is bio equivalent to any other glucosamine on the market.
“Apparently people used to eat a lot more bone broth, but weve stopped.”
I see bone broths sold at supermarkets now. Rather expensive.
They’re easy to make, though.
Bone broth == GOOD STUFF, regardless of the source animal.
