okay, just been recommended this for a nagging knee injury that seems to be taking forever to heal.
having seen some comments about it, i'm a little sceptical when it comes to "take a pill and the pain goes away". reckon pain's an indicator that something is wrong and needs to be fixed.
my limited understanding of glucosemine is that it promotes cartilage regrowth and improves the speed of that regrowth... my concern is that something must be abnormally destroying the cartilage if there's a need to regrow it at a faster rate than normal, and that this cause should be fixed instead of masked.
my other concern is what happens to the healthy joints - is there an overgrowth being stimulated by glucosemine? and is that cause for concern?
what are people's experiences and knowledge regarding glucosemine?
(preferrably with a little more detail than "use it/tried it and it works great"...)
