now that i'm home i can see the bottle:
glucosumine HCI 1500 mg
chondroitin sulfacte 1200 mg


the other one was with MSM:

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a bioavailable sulfur. Sulfur is a necessary component that works in conjunction with Glucosamine to provide the building blocks of collagen, an important component of healthy joints and connective tissue.†

The theory behind glucosamine supplementation is that it's providing the body with the building blocks necessary to repair damaged joint (articular) cartilage. Problem is-body has no ability to repair damaged articular cartilage.

Placebo effect. But sometimes that's all it takes.

Bingo! Dr Skimeister nailed.

I take one with Hyaluronic acid. It helps with water retention in cartilage and inflammation too.
