Hi John
I've heard that it can be helpful, some of my friends swear by it.
Lately
what I've been doing (under recommendation of my cardiologist) is taking
fish oil and flaxseed oil capsules -- the Omega 3 ones. They are supposed
to help with heart health, but also with arthritis issues (not to mention
they're great for dry skin!)
I don't think the Glucosamine et al would negatively affect you tho, and
the
only way to find out if it's helpful is to try it :)
