Title: Glucosamine and heart disease
Post by: Shadyglade on May 15, 2019, 10:10:19 AM

Does anyone take these?  If so there is an interesting new study which shows this supplement MAY help prevent heart disease.  All to do with it's anti-inflammatory properties apparently.

Hello Shadyglade

Very interesting link,  thank you.

Inflammation seems to be a factor in many conditions plus oestrogen has anti inflammatory properties which would explain why women are protected from heart disease before the menopause.

Take care.
