I enjoy eating them.


I do not have crow feet at the moment touch wood. l don’t apply moisturizer on my face as I hate that yucky oily feeling. However my face skin is still taut. Not sure if I might suffer the effects of not appyling moisturizer in my later life.But I do save a lot from buying skincare products.

Side effects of glucosamine could cause one to contract diabetes, due to the excess glucose content and causes autoimmune deficiencies due to the marine shell lives contaiminations.

Plants and fruits with high glutamine includes parsley, spinach, alfafa.

Let our own body to produce and convert the required repair to our joints and bones. I can provide a convenience to all with G-ART from my company that provide high amount of glutamine to address joints issues.

More importantly, no side effects. Can reach me at 92211090 or email me at kohxiangming@gmail.com

[quote=\"jedamum\"]I have constant pain on my heel . Should I take gluocosomin too?


Yes, looks like it's plantar fasciitis. I had it for a year and went to Changi Hospital Sports Medicine Dept. First the doctor did an ultra sound scan for a diagnosis. The scan can reveal the severity of the inflammation. This is followed by a visit to a podiatrist who made a mould of my feet. I was advised to buy foot ware from a shop specializing in footware for people with feet problem (be warned, the shoes cost more than $100). Once the insoles are ready, I have to wear the shoes with the custom made insoles inside. The doctor also taught me how to do some stretching exercises. And yes, got to wear shoes at home. I was pain free for more than 5 years but the pain came back recently as I was not disciplined enough with the exercises and the insoles had long worn out. Will be going back to see the doctor again.

were the insoles comfortable to wear? were they effective in relieving knee pain? I was quoted $260 for the first pair that will last average 1-1.5 years. I am not sure if it will help with my knee and ankle pain.
I got the price quote from the polyclinic and I was told there is no subsidy for podiatrics treatment although it is under MOH. :slapshead: :stupid:[/quote]Once the diagnosis is made, the insoles will be custom made to suit your condition. Suggest you speak to your doctor/podiatrist. Yes, the insoles are very comfortable. And yes, the treatment plus insoles plus special shoes all cost $$$$$!

You can take in collagen in any form - pig trotter, beef tendon, chicken feet, fish maw, shark cartilage etc. There are also tablet forms of collagen. They also add collagen in fruit juice and Vitagen and sell it more expensive.


My friend’s 80+yo dad walks around with no pain in his knees coz he eats pig trotters once every week. But that’s the older generation lah…

But from personal experience, it’s the extra weight we carry that usually causes the pain. Losing weight is one sure way to alleviate the condition.

Could be plantar fasciits. I had that few years back and suffered for a few months before deciding to see the doctor. Was prescribed some medicine which cured it.

hi ksme!
thanks for providing me with a term for my pain. 😓
did you need any xray done?
my husband is concerned about the medication to be given. 😓
every morning wake up with pain whenever i started walking. it gets better when i wear heels (surprisingly) and painfully painful when i wear flats/slippers. one episode last year it was so severe that i could barely walk. will it go away by itself or via any physiotherapy i can do at home?[/quote]Hi Jedamum,
I didn't do any xray. Went to a polyclinic and the doctor prescribed medication to be taken over a few days. Can't remember if it was like a week or so. It is an inflammation so the medication helps with that. No physio for me but after taking medication, the pain went away completely. Touch wood, it has been few years since that episode. Like you, I always started the day with lots of pain and it gets better as the day progresses. I didn't know what was wrong. Took me several months before I went to see the doctor. It was such an easy cure that I regretted not seeing the doctor earlier. I recommend you to visit the doctor asap and if it is the same problem, you should be free from pain soon. Take care.

Ironically, I encountered knee pain because I started exercising.

I was completely pain free when I was a couch potatoe.

If you have pain in your knees, you cannot lose weight by exercising such as jogging. You are putting more strain on the joints. I couldn't even jog when I was fatter. Try losing weight by eating less carbo and smaller meals first. You can do light exercise only like yoga, no jogging pls.

I lost weight by eating less, not thru exercise.

I always eat little & very 清谈 le, that's why I have the luxury to be a couch potato & still stay slim. But I suddenly gained 6 kg over a few months period without any change in diet. Drink water also grow fat! 😢

My doctor said it's due to slowing metabolism rate so she asked me to exercise. Didn't jog at all. Just some gentle weight lifting and simple aerobic moves (no jumping or skipping) follow by abdominal crunch at least 150 times and floor stretching exercises.

Oh, my mum has that problem for years. She said just need to wear bedroom slippers to walk around the house, don't go barefoot. Didn't realise it's a medical condition. I will ask her to see a doctor. Thanks!

That's the misconception that you can only lose weight by doing a lot of exercise. If you have pain in your knees, you cannot lose weight by exercising such as jogging. You are putting more strain on the joints. I couldn't even jog when I was fatter. Try losing weight by eating less carbo and smaller meals first.

This is better than the capsule or tablet versions. I personally took it and it was good.

Aside from taking glucosamine, you can think of losing weight too. I lost 11kg and now have no pain even without taking glucosamine.

An extra 1kg of weight = 5kg on your knees!

Now I need recommendation too.
I experienced rather severe allergic reaction after taking GNC Glucosamine. Only took 3 tablets so far, on separate days, as I just began exercising recently.

I suspect it's because GNC Glucosamine contains shrimp. The strange thing is I'm not normally allergic to shellfish, so I'm not sure why the severe allergic reactions to GNC's.

Wondering if I should try my luck at another brand just to test reaction?
Any recommendation for 'vegetarian' Glucosamine? Seems not as readily available.
Otherwise, what other supplements can I take for knees?

Thanks in advance !

I too support this GNC brand is the quite good :celebrate:

My mum is also taking the GNC brand and her feedback is good too. She used to be taking Kordel previously... My husband recently tried the Nature's essence brand, Joint Support, which promotes natural cartilage regeneration & healthy joints...contained Glocosamine HCI and u just need to take 1 capsule a day....Its good for those people who dislike or always forgot to take medication....
