Was on Levaquin (like cipro) which causes tendon damage...think I may have some slight tendonitis. Can GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE help heal and/or protect tendons? Any ideas on what to take? Supposedly tendon damage can happen months after stopping taking the antibiotic.

Glucosamine is primarily the material that makes up the joint connection (like the gristle in chicken) Chondroitin is a supplement that adds moisture to the glucosamine so it does nt get brittle and break down, but the best thing for connective tissue (ligaments, tendons) is collagen. There is a product called CollaTrim that is both a weight loss product when used in one fashion, and a connective tissue rebuilder when used in a slightly different way. Good Luck.

No these suppliments have been shown not to work, can cause allergies & may interfere with insulin so diabetics must take care. My doctor recommended I use compressive thermal body supports to improve circulation & protect tendons from injury.
