Cosamin ASU

I was wondering if anyone takes this for joint health. I read on another site that's it's not good for people with Gout because it's made with clam shells. Any thoughts on this? Thanks guys. LIMPY

I've seen this advertised and wondered about it too.

My first reaction is that the shells don't contain the protein tissue that would affect gout. Calcium would be the main elememt, I would think- and many other minerals. Depends, then , on purity as well as provenence.

It's often a case of trying it out, and then reporting back.

It's glucosamine-chondroitin, the latest in a LONG string of artthritis pain relievers.

I used the combo for amost a year…it did nothing for joint pain (bad knee cartileges, bad rotator cuffs.) If you want to try for yourself, you can get the combo in large bottles in any big retailer like Walmart or Puritan Pride for a LOT less than this branded product.

Typical starting dose is 1500 mg. glucosamine + 1200 mg. chondroitin or 3 a day of this Cosamin. 

Can't hurt…but  don't look for any gout relief.

Personally, I think if you wait a while, you will see glucosamine-chondroitin exposed as just another scam, like copper bracelets.

Arthritis is the most amazing disease. In spite of being cured on a monthly basis for the last 100 years, it's still with us just as it was when Sloan's Linament was peddled from farm to farm via buckboard:

At some point in the brothers' venture, someone applied the liniment to his back, discovering that it relieved his own discomfort, as well. Thereafter, the Sloan brothers began selling even more of the liniment advertising it as “good for man and beast”.

Thanks Trev and Zip, I read on and archery site about it. A few guys on there swear by it for their shoulder pain. So i thought I'd ask about it here. LIMPY

Limpy,

Here's as good an assay of the effectiveness as I've found:
