I use Schiff brand as I was told by a nurse that it is absorbed best of all brands. It works for me as I have bad knees and I can tell the difference when I don't use it. If you are a diabetic be warned that it will raise your blood sugar levels slightly.

I was told by the campus MD that you should forget the chondroitin cause the amount in the combination is negligible. He said to take 1500 - 1800 mg of the glucosamine once a day. I switched to the once a day & it's been working wonderfully. You can get the glucosamine at Costco - we always get the cheapest available as it all works the same brand by brand.
