Glucosamine/MSM

many people like to take a combination of glucosamine+chondroitin for arthritis. I prefer a separate chondroitin supplement that is formulated to be well absorbed. Many chondroitin supplements or combination supplements are of a high molecular weight and are not easily absorbed. I personally like a glucosamine/MSM combo as my source of glucosamine. Both of these products are also useful to help with leaky gut conditions, as are often found in autisitic children. We also carry a topical glucosamine/MSM cream that may be helpful for "arthritic hot spots".
