Our body is able to produce Glucosamine which is needed to make and repair joint cartilage. However, the production of glucosamine slows down when we age. A lot of my friends and my wife have already started taking it as a nutritional supplement.
Since taking up distance running for the past 2 years, William & KP Tan (my running mates) have encouraged me to take glucosamine as our chances of damaging our joints are higher. I didn't heal their advice as I thought it to be unnecessary. Recently, I feel some pains near both of my knees whenever I run more than 5 km, so I started taking 3 tablets of Glucosamine a day with effect from today. It costs about $30 for a box of 30 tablets which means that I have to invest $3 a day for healthier joints.
