Joint Support

I'm giving this a full 5 stars because: 1) It has the correct ratio of Glucosamine (1,500) / Chondroitin (800) / MSM (750) that always seems to work best for me. - And: 2) It seems to still keep the pain away. I have no idea what the potency is, so the jury is still out on that account, and it probably will be for a long time, but for now, 5 stars. I'd love to learn more about potency and how to find out how effective OTC supplements actually are.I learned about this stuff from a friend who suggested it after I told him about having pain in my shoulder whenever I tried to reach my back while in the shower. I just couldn't reach around without any severe pain. He asked me if I had tried Glucasomine/Chondroitin and I told him I had never heard of it.Well, I tried it and about two weeks later, as I was showering and scrubbing my back, it suddenly hit me: NO PAIN! I couldn't believe it and had no idea when it happened, but pain that I'd been having problems with for more than a year was no longer an issue.In the meantime, I had been reading and found that the most effective mixtures had an MSM component to them. I also concluded that for me, the right mix was the 1,500/800/750 ratio that I mentioned above. I found that mix in Walmart (their own brand) at a great price and used it exclusively for a few years, until it was discontinued. I tried other products and had to mix some to get my desired combination, but what a hassle!After trying them for a short time, the ones I wound up keeping away from and still do are the ones that have a "proprietary" blend in them, meaning, "it's none of your business what we put into it, just take it and shut up!" NO THANK YOU! I found out that they don't have everything I want in them and put other stuff that I don't want into the bottle. Just do little research and experiment until you find out what works best for you. As they say: "Results will vary!"When I found this at vitamin shoppe I tried it and felt my (arthritic) pain had gone back to levels that they hadn't been since Walmart discontinued their product. I found it here later at a MUCH BETTER PRICE, so here's where I'm getting it.Even my orthopedic doctors give this the thumbs up!

Received item which expires on Mar 2026. Ordered in mid Oct 24. Smaller pill and not hard like the Kirkland brand.

My doctor recommended that I go and see an Orthopedic Doctor for my worsening knee pain. He prescribed a prescription gel that I was to apply four times a day. Very messy, but I done as he told me for around 2 weeks with no improvement. I went back. They xrayed my knees and told me the joints were worn out. Bone rubbing against bone, with nothing there to cushion the shock. He gave me a shot in each knee. It helped for around a week. I couldn't get any more shots for a month, so I toughed it out. I went back in for more shots. My doctor was gone, I had a new doctor. He gave me the first shot, not too uncomfortable. Time for the second shot, in the worst of my two knees. I have never felt such pain in all my life! Tears were streaming down my cheeks, I had a tight grip of the table I was sitting on. Finally he stopped, pulled the needle out and said "I can't do this to you!" He was so sorry and didn't know what had went wrong. He then sent me for aqua therapy. This helped, while I was moving around in the 96 degree pool. My insurance would not pay for more than 2 months of treatments. It was very expensive to pay out-of-pocket. Plus since I could only go twice a week, my knees hurt just as bad the other 5 days of the week.I went back to see my doctor and he recommended something I had never heard of before. He told me that vets were having amazing success in horses with leg sprains and problems, after they started using this product. I stopped at a pharmacy and bought a bottle of Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM. I buy a lot of vitamins and supplements, most I can never tell if they are working or not. I take 3 capsules per day of these, one in the morning and two at night. I saw results within FOUR DAYS! Then I found these on Facebook. I think they workfaster because they are not a solid pill, like I found locally in the pharmacy. I will never, ever run out of these again!It hurt so bad to walk before, with a constant audible crunching of bone rubbing against bone. Now that is mainly gone. These amazing pills put the cushion back, and I LOVE them!UPDATE: I have taken these for months now. My knee pain is gone! There were a few times that I went for a few days, forgetting to take them. I will not make that mistake again! Now when I fill my weekly prescription box, these are included. To me, they are more important than some of the prescriptions that I am taking!

My husband has felt like his joints are responding very well to this supplement. This is our 3rd purchase and we’ll continue to buy.

Excellent seller, excellent quality product, arrived on time and without any problems. I recommend
