Hi

I do a lot of walking and have have suffered from knee joint pain

I personally have taken Glucosamine Sulfate with Fish oils, you can

usually buy them in the same bottle ( I took capsules I don't know if

it is better) on the recommended dose on the bottle, in my case 3

caps per day then went on a maintenance dose of 1 per day I found

this surprisingly helpful.

All the best

I've worked with someone who, after deriving no discernable benefit

from glucosamine supplementation, initiated a trial with HA which lead

to a complete resolution of her joint problems. This isn't evidence

that HA is outright superior to glucosamine, but, rather, that we need

to keep trying things until we find that which best suites us.
