What is the recommended dose of glucosamine?

By , About.com GuideFebruary 28, 2006

Follow me on:

Glucosamine is a commonly recommended supplement for arthritis and joint pain. Glucosamine is sold over the counter. The usual recommended dose is 1,500 mg each day. Patients can either take this at one time, or split it up two or three time a day. Patients may also find a benefit of doubling this dose for the first week of treatment, then continuing at 1,500 mg each day.

If you are looking for where to buy supplements, try the following:

Nothing to sell here, I wish i could say something without sounding like a commerical.
I had knee and hip pain that was not going away like it use to.
I took Glucosamine and I started feeling better after only a couple of days. It was better than any pain reliever I’ve taken.
