Hello all,
A family member has been taking triflex (glucosamine chondritis and
MSM)
for her recent knee pain but she started noticing some
uneasiness around her chest area.

We were wondering whether to switch to just glucosamine w/o
the other ingredients and also whether a liquid supplement might be
better.

Are there any specific brands you have tried that have
worked well for you?

Thank you!

I think the MSM indicates a sulfa compound.
MSM seems to be included with Glucosamine
Chondroitin is most cases. I think MSM is the
drug that gave me a bad side effect but not in the
chest area. I think the MSM caused some
hemorrhoids which are still active over 2 years
after quitting the Glucosamine Chondroitin.

No. Sulfur, not sulfa. They have nothing to do with each other.
