Safe to crush glucosamine tablets or capsules?
I can’t swallow these huge pills or capsules. Liquid is expensive. Can I crush the tablets or open the capsules and mix with juice?
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks for your time.
Thanks, Sketdoc… I have arthritis all over my body, and these pills make my daily life easier. I don’t care if they really work or placebo effect, I will keep taking them.

It’s fine to crush them. I have used Glucosamine and it works. When I’ve run out, I feel pain in about 3 to 4 days.
I used to be a distance runner so my knees have some miles and abuse on them. This helps, but from what I’ve read it only helps some people not all. See if it works for you.
yes of course.
I don’t know how it would taste, but crushing wouldn’t affect anything else
FYI, there is no good clinical evidence that glucosamine has any effect on joint pains or arthritis. Even the NCCAM (National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine) has published a large study showing no benefit. And this from an organization that routinely bends over backwards to try and find something positive to say about Altie healing from a scientific point of view.
