Andrew Lessman Glucosamine and Chrondroitin

lisandjen — Tue, 21 Jan 2014 01:17:37 GMT

Hello all,

I have a bulging disc in my back behind my neck. I am experiencing stiffness and soreness. (I've tried PT, TENS, anti-inflammatory medications, massages, hot/cold pack, muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatory diet and beverages)

I am considering taking this supplement, but don't want to take 5 pills a day which AL recommends. I would like to take a maximum of two.

My question are:

1. Has anyone here take less then the recommended 5 pills a day? If so, did you see any improvements with your specific situation?

2. Anyone who has taken it have any negative side effects?

TIA.

May I suggest you call his business and speak to one of his service reps; they are very helpful and if they cannot answer they pass the info on to his medical team who will respond. I find his staff are up to date and have a great insight to his products and knowledge. I am sure AL has them well trained in his product usage.

I take it because I have several bulging discs, Sciatica and Spasms. I was taking Advil every day and it drove my B/P up and I swelled in my feet and legs. I am off the Advil. I take Andrew's Glucosamine/Chrondrotin and I take the 5 a day as he recommends. I have been taking it for a year now and just stocked up on it yesterday when it was the TS. I have never had any ill effects from it and in fact feel better and am more pain free than I have been in years. Andrew said yesterday that you could get away with taking 3 capsules but I am sticking with the 5. This is one of the best products that I ever bought for myself.

IMO, you're either all in or you're not going to get the desired results/benefit. FYI, though, check out the Glucosamine & Chondroitin on Vitacost (Item #: NSI 3005031) It's the right form of Glucosamine and comes in a capsule. I take two with breakfast and two with dinner.

I have not had any side effects. I also wouldn't take only 2 as I don't think that would be effective. It would be better to start with 5 and then cut back to 4 later and see if that works for you and later try cutting back to 3. If it alleviates your discomfort, it is well worth taking 5 capsules.

I agree with sdcowboy. Call them and ask your questions. I have taken AL G&C for almost a year now and I take 5 a day. I'm cutting back to 3 a day and see how I do with the joint pain. Personally I think you are much better off taking the recommended dose to see if it helps before you consider taking less.

taking 5 pills a day is what my orthopedic surgeon recommended for my knees. I take 2 in the morning and the remaining 3 at night, only because I don't want to take 5 fairly large capsules all at one time. I realize this doesn't answer your question because I do take the amount recommended by my doctor, but my question to you is why don't you want to take the therapeutic dose? how did you arrive at the decision to take 2 instead of the recommended 5? as my doc told me, you don't have to take all 5 at the same time as long as you get the prescribed 5 caps in a day's time.

In one of his Saturday presentations of the TS, AL said that if you don't want to take the 5 pills daily, the minimum you can take & still reap the benefits is 3 daily.
