Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance found in bones, bone marrow, shellfish and fungus. Cosamin DS is a combination product that has been used in alternative medicine as a possibly effective aid in treating osteoarthritis pain.

Does cosamin really work?

It does work. It takes about 2-3 months to build in the body with consistent use. I take 3 caps every morning. It’s not a miracle, I still have pain, but it’s noticeably, significantly less, and I’m able to do my workouts without cringing in pain.

Should you take glucosamine and chondroitin together?

Taking glucosamine alone or in combination with the supplement chondroitin might increase the effects of the anticoagulant warfarin. This can increase your risk of bleeding.
