Flexicose - Liquid Glucosamine, Condroitin and MSM Joint Complex Glucosamine Creams - Effective or Hype?

Otherwise known as Topical Glucosamine, any Cream based or Topical product that uses the name glucosamine to sell its product should not be trusted. Glucosamine cannot be absorbed through the skin. Putting it in a cream form only sells the product, but does nothing to actually get the glucosamine inside your body where it can actually work. Please note: you should not ever actually attempt to eat or consume glucosamine creams, for many of them can be toxic if swallowed. Aside from their other ingredients, the glucosamine in the cream will not be able to penetrate your skin and it will simply be a waste of money. For this reason it is not advised to use any kind of cream that contains just glucosamine in it.

When it comes to the form of glucosamine you take, the two most important factors are the form and the dose size. As you know, creams are an absolute waste of money. Pills simply are not a great alternative either. Pills contain glucosamine that is bound to many extraneous fillers and stabilizers and is difficult for the body to process and digest. Pure liquid glucosamine contains homogenized pure glucosamine, without wasteful binders and fillers. This leads to far greater absorption, more relief, less waste and much better results.

Liquid glucosamine also has the added benefit of working faster than pills, due to the higher absorption. Instead of waiting months in some cases, liquid glucosamine starts working within 7 to 14 days for most people. If you manage to get any relief at all from creams it will be because of the other ingredients in the cream and not the glucosamine. In some more severe cases it may take up to 3 or 4 weeks to see its effectiveness, but the effects are going to be stronger and last longer than other drugs like aspirin or ibuprofen, so don’t simply stop taking your glucosamine, unless of course you have been duped into buying a cream.
