Oh please, call me a skeptic too.

-- So, if you’re not taking glucosamine, you should at least be taking a placebo. Try the soup.


Nope...you're not a skeptic. Skeptics read stuff like this.

I would suggest to try surfing if you haven't already. Little harder to get into than planking around a mountain but it will pay off in the long run and it makes vacations better. The ride might not be as long as skiing but it sure is sweeter. Good luck!

Call me a skeptic but the scientific evidence is that Glucosamine , in the normal dosed commonly ingested has no more effect than a placebo. I  have many friends that say different and take the stuff and my own wife takes many vitamins and supplements every day( much to my disapproval). I think the current supplement craze in Merika is more due to marketing and business than actual scientific results and in the long run could be more harmful than good.
YMMV but at least research the scientific results rather than anecdotal evidence which by it's very nature is biased.

Perhaps as a suppository...
