Okay. You're not eligible for AARP discounts yet, but you played basketball in college and you had some joint damage. Your doc, who also played b-ball, recommends glucosamine with chondroitin. How much do you take so you can get your game back on? A study by the NIH recommends 1,500 mg of glucosamine per day and 1,200 of chondroitin sulfate. Typically, most vitamin manufacturers will combine both substances, often with MSM, so that you get the required dosage in three tables that you take with meals. Some supplements will include Vitamin C and manganese, but all your joint health formulas should contain the prescribed amount. After all, you want to practice your jump shot with your kids. You may not be in the NBA, but you can enjoy fresh air and exercise without joint pain. We recommend hyaluronic acid too.
