Keeping healthy joints

[shafty85]

Thanks for the advice Chris.

I'm looking into taking glucosamine now, and have read up on the benefits and side effects, but what I cannot find an answer to is whether or not taking it will affect the rate at which my body produces it. What I'm concerned about is that if I take glucosamine, will my body produce less (and continue to produce less if I stop taking the supplement)? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

When I was taking it before, I just followed the directed dose on the bottle (1500 mg). I never heard anything about the body producing less after supplementing it, and I doubt that it's a problem. A lot of athletes swear by the benefits of it, but I think if you're young, healthy, and train smart you probably don't need it. I still think it can help.
