Glucosamine also is readily available in another food/supplement format, soft candy chews. Salt Lake City-based Life Smart added peanut butter-flavored and chocolate-flavored soft chews to its line, featuring joint helpers like MSM, chondroitan, and glucosamine.
The line, called Shape Up! With Dr. Phil McGraw, is available at drug stores and includes nutrition bars and nutrition shake mixes. Soon to follow is a weight management book by Dr. Phil called The Ultimate Weight Solution. The Shape Up products are produced by Irving, Texas-based CSA Nutritionals.
