I asked a nutritionist about glucosamine and creating recently. She said there's no proof glucosamine is bad for you and creatine is OK in small amounts - non loading dose.

After doing my knee I think I will definitely be staying on glucosamine because the alternative - saying bye bye to what's left of my knee cartilage - is not acceptable. I did take some on and off before I injured my knee but not consistently. I hadn't taken any for a while when my knee began hurting and now there's no way I'm missing it.

I'm not sure how good glucosamine absorption from a tablet is so I changed from tablet form to a powder. I've heard that the glucosamine + chrondoitin stuff is better than the other sulphate complex one. Not sure why.
