Re: [RE]CS>Arthritis- ? for Brooks B.: TARDY RESPONSE

Hello Dan,
NO! However, gelatin works VERY WELL as a substitute for the various chondroitin
products. In fact gelatin has the additional advantage of not offering any type of compromising influence, whatsoever. This is in contrast to the suggestion of some authorities (i.e. William Campbell Douglass)
that certain types of chondroitin products DO present the potential for health compromises.
Be Well, Brooks.

Do you think that the gelatin would work as a substitute for glucosamine?
