Recently I have come across 2 new supplements. I am trying them now and they seem to have some effect
1. Collagen Advanced formula Tablets with Type 1,2 & 3 Collagen and with 18 amino acids added
Made by Nutrawise and available on http://www.youtheory.net
Claims to restore muscle and ligament tissue as well as improving bone health with Collagen.
2. Collagen Enhance – claims ‘all natural’ ingredients and the capsule is made from vegetable gelatin
Made by ResVitalle – see their site http://www.resvitale.com
I will get back with a review by trying for 3 months more. If any one has tried these products please post on this iste
what about supplements that are not available in india?
One must look for freinds and relatives abroad
There are really no Indian equivalent of the Glucosamine formulations with chondroitin and MSM
You can purchase through http://www.shopyourworld.com
Sir Ramana,
Kindly suggest whether to take MSM after meal or before it. Further, in India there is a product named Cartigen Forte by Pharmed Ltd. Whether that is efficacious or not.

Vikas Ji,
MSM is almost always sold in a combination with Glucosamine. My experience is that Glucosamine with MSM (and sometimes with other beneficial ingredients, depending on the brand), is best taken at 1500 mg/day for a month and then 750 mg/day. After meals is best.
Cartigen is a cartilage booster, and is not a Glucosamine substitute. IT supplies Collagen which is the fibrous substrate on which the membrane protecting the knee joint grows. IT is useful as a food supplement, usually prescribed for 15 to 30 days continuously in a sachet form, one sachet per day. I am not aware of the capsule format as I have not used it. Best consult your orthopedist
