Anyone take or have experience with Fish Oils and/or Glucosamine? I think I am going to start taking these for joint health. Just looking for some feedback.

Do you take just Glucosamine, or something like a combined vitamin.

You need to take glucosaime and chondritin mix. I used to take Move Right and I really enjoyed it.

Holy crap, there is a big 2 for 1 sale at Kroger on West Gray. I got two 80ct. bottles of Osteo glucosamine bioflex for $21.95 and then 2 bottles of Nature Made 120 ct. fish oil (1200mg) for only $9.99. I saved over $30. http://www.osteobiflex.com/ |

As I understand it the effects are pretty minimal unless you're suffering from osteoarthritis or something... the amount of G&C you'd have to intake is pretty huge.. i took a few joint support supps before... both in pill form and in mixes and never saw any worthwhile benefits.
fish oil is great though.

I have arthritis in both of my knees and used glucosamine/chrondroitin with great success. I was running alot at the time of use, and after 3 months of use I could really feel a difference. However, once I started cycling I no longer needed it. Right now, I take an Omega 3-6-9 supplement in the morning and I have noticed a slight increase in recovery time after rides.

So far so good with the knees and ankles. After having problems off and on through my running in the past years, I haven't felt any discomfort in them since taking this. Maybe its mental...or maybe I am mental...but it seems like it is helping. I did strain something in my foot though, so I am on a little break.
