| This product reduced the swelling and pain in my finger joints. Other, cheaper, glucosamine/chondroitin products I have tried did not help. This pioneering product works. The other cheaper products I tried were somehow different and useless. More and more I am finding that things with the same chemical name do not necessarily work the same. |
Huge help for my low back/hip pain

My chiropractor recommended this brand specifically. I have been taking two per day for a few months and have noticed a huge improvement in preventing my chronic hip/back pain. It took about 6 weeks or so for it to make a difference, but it really helps.
I definitely plan to stay with this brand though I have not tried others, no need to - the benefit is worth the price. I don't want to risk having to start over if a cheaper brand doesn't work out. |
For stiff, creaky knees

I used to have creaky, stiff knees - like rusty hinges. Since I started taking Cosamin DS (one in the morning, one in the evening), my knees do not creak and are not stiff.
I recommend Cosamin DS to anyone who has the same problem. |

| My husband has been using this product for a decade. His Orthopedic Surgeon recommended this brand only and told him to stay away from other similar products because they don't work as efficiently. His hip needs to be replaced and with the use to Cosamin DS he has gotten so much relief that he has been able to put off the replacement for 10 years...and still counting. It isn't a quick fix though. It took about 4 months of using the product before he saw increased mobility and decreased pain. He swears by this product and never misses a dose. |

| My rheumatologist (and med school professor) says he thinks everyone over 50 ought to take this supplement -- but only this particular brand. Despite recent reports that glucosamine/chondroitin generally may be ineffective, he continues to recommend it because the fed govt (NIH? not sure which agency) did a well-designed study of this actual brand and found it effective. My understanding is that, while it may sometimes cause new cartilage growth, it is most useful for minimizing future cartilage loss, i.e., it's primarily effective as a preventative supplement. |
