glucosamine chondroitin....take 2 or 3 grams a day...you can buy the stuff in powder form at feed and tack shops

There's no real evidence that glucosamine speeds cartilege recovery. But it is a very good pain killer for arthritis.

If you can afford it I highly recommend GH, it did wonders for my shoulder recovery and also helped with my other shoulder.................11

there may be no published studies ...but anecdotal evidence....my father who is 55 years old basically had no cartilage left in his right knee...from an injury when he was younger....hes been taking glucosamine chondroitin for 6 months or so and his last xrays showed the cartilage has repaired...and he is pretty much pain free, and his mobility is much improved

about 2ius for 4months. someone on hear wrote that it's a good idea to front load a bunch in the beginning, one of the mods I believe. But I just did 2 ius per day. It made a big difference..........11

There is a product that lots of Jiu-Jitsu guys use called GLC 2000. Here are some facts:

"GLC 2000 is the ONLY 100% PURE, FULL SPECTRUM Glucosamine with Chondroitin Sulfate concentrate"

"Only GLC 2000 combines ALL FOUR bioavailable glucosamine forms with purified chondroitin sulfate A-4, in a 100% PURE pharmaceutical grade compound."

Look it up, it supposedly works wonders (I have never used it myself).

What ever you take its going to take some time due to the poor blood circulation in cartilage. If im not mistaken, deca only releives the pain by adding a little fluid, and does not promote cartilage growth....i may be wrong so some of the vets may need to correct me on the deca.....
