I purchased this product after a medical newsletter stated that collagen can improve joint flexibility and reduce pain. I'm a 69 year old woman and avid tennis player with a hip problem that forced me to reduce activity due to pain and stiffness. Since I have tried this supplement for the last month, I found my symptoms have improved. My husband has also recently started taking UC-II, and has noticed increased mobility. The capsules are small, you only need to take one before bedtime, so it's easy to take. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it's not a cure all--but neither is aspirin.

I have used this product daily since February 2012. I have bone on bone in both knees and was in constant pain. Due to health reasons could not have knee surgery. Almost from the day I started to take UC II I have not had a pain in either knee. for me this has been truly amazing. I am 70 years old and as far as knee pain THERE is NONE.<br />I would highly recommend this product.

These were recommended by a doctor buddy who is as old as I am (72) and has similar aches and pains in joints, back and hands. If you have been taking glucosamine/chondroitin, and feel it is not working up to the level you desire, try this!!! I have not qualms that it will work. IT HAS FOR ME!

Read this is good for joints and arthritis. Directions say to take it at night before bed, however, I think that's what is keeping me awake at night. I forgot to take it one night and I slept great! Will try taking it at a different time.

Helps me delay knee replacement surgery. Improves things for those of us without much cartilege left in the knees.

Still too soon to really know, but I seem to have less pain and to be able to move a bit easier. I will know more as time goes by. I will order again if I am still having this result when the capsules are gone. The capsules are easy to swallow, but I find the &#34;take on an empty stomach before bed&#34; to be a bit hard to follow. I have to watch my evening schedule carefully.
