Any one use or used this stuff. One of my mates used it and said it was awesome, but then he spouted alot of crap as well...
I've got Achilles tendonitis and also ligmanet damage in my wrist (from handstands). Will this help?
Peace

Huffy is a big fan. I have taken it and healed pretty fast after some injuries, so it might be worth a punt.

You need to get 20 rats, paint half of them red and half blue. Break all the rats legs and give the blue ones glucosamine. Give the red ones a placebo. Keep feeding them all or else they will die and all we will have learned is that rats die if you dont feed them. See which ones start walking first. Post your findings here - and good luck!

You have to have been taking it for at least 30 days before you see any benefits. Wonder if it will go the way of Omega3!

I took two a day for about two months a few months ago, it seemed to help a lot, but not taking any now seems to be doing just as good... maybe I'm not pulling hard enough nowadays  :wink:

theres loads of bigger replies ive written on this in ther past but...

placebo effect or not it worked for me.  wont help ligament damage much you'll want MSM for that.  A Gluco, Chondr, MSM complex will do the trick
