You have mentioned long term, continual use of GlycoMarine. Is it necessary to take GlycoMarine forever?
A6. Not necessarily. Some people find that once they are experiencing a satisfactory level of relief, they can stop taking the product altogether until another flare up occurs. However, the majority of people prefer to gradually reduce the daily usage, by trial and error, until they establish the minimum daily maintenance requirement, usually one or two 500 mg capsules per day. There are, of course, some cases where it seems to be necessary to continue the full dosage all the time, but these would certainly be the rare cases. I suspect that in many instances it is a fear of the symptoms recurring (after being free of them) that makes people reluctant to cease taking any capsules at all. Since taking them on a continual basis will not do any harm, this is quite an acceptable practice. It is also possible that there is a prophylactic benefit in relation to the inhibition of degenerative joint disease.
