Glucosamine/Chrondroitin

I've personally had wonderful results with Swanson's Joint Care (with glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin). My dad recommended it to me due to my knee pain with step and leg work. He's a triathelete, marathoner, ect and never has joint pain.

However, I've never tried another brand, so I have nothing to compare it to.;)
 
I take the Trader Joe's brand and wow, has it made a difference with my poor knees. I actually have pain free days and I thought that would never happen.

Congrats ElleJay! ;) I forgot how many posts it takes to be a 'catheite' - does anyone remember.

Anyway, I just wanted to ask a question. My fiance has a lot of back and joint pain. He's seen doctors regarding this, but they always tell him he has to get a different job. He's a suspended ceiling installer and he's up on stilts all the time with his arms above his head. Anyway, he's been talking about taking the joint juice, and I'm wondering if he has to be careful with taking this as well as other vitamins? I'll check the labels, but I just thought I'd get second opinions since this post was already started! TIA!

It's only 100, but I've been lurking since Dec 2007 so it's taken awhile :)

Looks like the joint juice in the small can has 100% vitamin c, so that's covered. But their 'fitness water' has 50% niacin (AKA B3 which is water soluble), b6 (another water soluble), and pantothenic acid (AKA B5 another water soluble).

My opinion? Skip the 'fitness water' and go for the can of joint juice. Although all the vitamins are water soluble, I can't remember if you can go toxic with any of them. Who else remembers college biology :)

Can he not take the capsules?
