Food Supplements - Glucosamine Sulfate - Optimal Absorption

Most diets do not contain significant amounts of this compound and internal synthesis declines as we age. Supplementation is thus the most ideal approach. Take 500mg three times daily.

Glucosamine is often combined with sulfate to increase absorption and effectiveness. N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) is also available. Glucosamine with chondroitin (a compound with similar properties) is another common preparation.

You will likely require supplementation for three to four weeks before realizing any improvement in symptoms.
