Liquid Glucosamine

There is a lot of conjecture over this issue. Should we take liquid or capsule form? The general thought is that liquid form will be absorbed better by the body, thus yielding better results. This is true to an extent. Liquid going into the body will be absorbed faster and more effectively by the digestive system, however capsules are now a lot more effective than they have been in the past. There have been advancements made in capsule coatings which allow for a timed release. Meaning the contents of the capsule have been protecting until they have passed through the stomach, which is highly acidic. What is more important than looking at whether the product is liquid or capsule, is actually seeing what is inside the product. Some joint supplements only contain Glucosamine and Chondroitin, whereas some have other added ingredients. Some have a higher grade Glucosamine in them, and some are natural. This is what is important when looking for the best supplement.
Also to be taken into consideration, and perhaps the most important thing as mentioned above, is the right amount of Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Capsule forms are also generally cheaper. So in summary, yes liquid will be absorbed better, the ideal glucosamine supplement would be a liquid one. However you will still get very good results from a capsule form, and it is smarter to take a capsule that meets all the requirements than a liquid form that is somewhat lacking.
