Isn it better to use glucosamine on its own without chondroitin?
Both glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin have been shown to beneficial for support of joints and connective tissue. The specific combination most suited to your needs may contain both together along with other nutrients, as recent research has shown that a mixture of glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and manganese ascorbate is more efficacious than taking glucosamine only. However, since every case is individual, it is important to discuss this with your practitioner in more detail.
