I take 3g per day, 1 when I get up, 1 in the middle of the afternoon, and 1 with my last meal of the day.

Jason...

are you sure your pills are 1G ? (just never seen that)

I take 1500mg total @ 3 pills a day

I spread them out for about 4 years and then I just started taking them all in the morning and never noticed a difference

[Jasonl]

Yep, they're 1g each.

Did you guys hear about the studies that claimed that glucosamine may increase insulin resistance and IGF-1 resistance? I was just reading about it in Muscular Development.
They did say that in young healthy people, it may not be as risky since exercise LOWERS resistance.....but just something to think about.

[JTyrell710]

if it increases resistance it makes it harder for insulin to secrete or easier? harder i assume?

i take liquid glucosamine, 2000mg, once, daily.

I think the study meant that insulin RECEPTORS are affected, meaning that insulin would have a hard time binding to its receptor (resistance). Anyone care to validate or correct my answer?
