Glucosamine supplements don’t help knee or hip arthritis pain

[satan_gal]

Placebo effect dun work on dogs.

Somehow it seems to ease their pain if consumed regularly.. less trembling, can walk better.. I've a friend whose dog has severe hip dysplasia and she's giving a mixture of coconut oil and green tip mussels and turmeric daily.

I myself feed my old ladies coconut oil and turmeric.. and seems to work on the one wif weaker hind - den again, my girls are more of old age and not pre-ex issue so I cld have been lucky - and one has a history of mast cell so no histamine food in their diet so no glucosamine for them.

Can apply this on knee first before run to block out any potential pain?

it has to be applied diligently. twice a day if you can.

do not apply directly onto the knee cap. apply around the circumference and slowly massage around it for 2 minutes.

Does it need to be applied daily? Tot of just applying during running days especially before running itself.
