What is disadvantage of glucosamine?
I assume you are refering to the oral intake of glucosamine to obtain relieve fromarthritis (osteoarthritis or OA).From what I know, OA can be caused by glucosamine insufficiency due to the bodyproducing less than the required amount. This is commonly due to age but thereare other factors.When the cause of the OA is indeed lack of glucosamine, the oral intake ofglucosamine pills should help.However, oral glucosamine is affected by the digestive system and the liver. It thenhas to travel through the blood circulation system before being available to the jointthat needs it. Hence, the dosage needs to be in the region of 1500 mg to 2000 mg.Fortunately, there is no known adverse effects, except for a diminishing bank account.Recently several glucosamine creams have become available. To be effective, theseneed a fair amount of glucosamine loading in the cream, say, 10%. New technologyallows the glucosamine to diffuse through the skin to reach the affected joints.One of the best selling cream is made by Lynk Biotech but unfortunately it is not yetavailable in many countries. You either have to find a friend to buy it for you in Singapore or try their website (www.lynkbiotech.com) .

Is it ok to give dogs human glucosamine?
I have recently stummble upon a product that is much better than SynoviCare, it is made by Effective Natural Pets it is a vegetable source glucosamine that combines other things such as Chondroitin and MSM and some herbs that help with the over all health of the joint. The one thing I really like about this product is that because the glucosamine is not derived from shellfish you don't have to worry about any allergy interactions. I called the company and they were wery friendly and helpful. I was blown away when they told me they guarantee their products to work or your money back. I have seen great results on my dog and the product doesn't have to be refrigerated so that was another plus. When compare to SynoviCare on price the Effective Natural Pets Glucosamine Plus was much less. They also have a comparison chart on their website and a few other products not only for dogs but horses and cats as well. I hope this helps and this proves you don't have to pay a lot for a quality product. Nutri Vet has a whole line of glucosamine products ranging from chewables, treats, and even liquids you can add on there food or in there water. I believe theres a product called Cosiquine that is also good. Nutri-Vet and Cosiquine are good Glucosamine supplements and also a product made by VPS known as SynovialMax soft chews are really good. They are treats that you give to your dog every day depending on the weight. My dogs love them and i have seen an improvement from just the last couple of weeks.
