I am hesitant to write this review since I only took the pills for about two weeks. They were hard to swallow and the amount of pills seemed excessive. My friend recommended these for a bad knee, but said she only took two pills per day.

I have had increasing joint pain, especially in my shoulders, so I tried this product hoping for relief. While it's too soon to say how it will help long term, I am optimistic as to its effectiveness.<br /><br />I would prefer not to have to take 8 capsules to get 1 serving, but not everything can be compacted into 2 pills, so if it works, it's worth my while. You can take 4 at a time twice a day or 8 altogether. I chose to split my doses up into 4 in the morning and the other 4 in the afternoon. No side effects have been experienced and the capsules go down easily. My shoulders feel somewhat better with greater range of motion. If you are still looking for something to help your joints, I recommend trying these.

This supplement is geared towards athletes who work out hard, particularly bodybuilders. I am not an elite athlete. However, I am a very active man who’s turning 70 in two weeks. I’m an avid hiker and outdoors person and log around 40 miles of trails with significant elevation a week. I lift weights but only for muscle tone, maintenance etc. That being said, I think this is a very potent formula that can benefit most people looking for joint support, especially for those doing serious workouts.<br /><br />This formula contains Glucosamine, MSM, collagen type II from chicken, chondroitin, amino acids l-proline and L-lysine, hyaluronic acid, cat’s claw powder (an anti-inflammatory herb) Turmeric (also anti-inflammatory) and the activating herb for better absorption, black pepper.<br /><br />I have taken all of these things individually, but its nice to get them all in one convenient supplement. The only downside, if one considers such things to be a negative, is the fact that the recommended dosage is no less than 8 capsules per day. I get it: This is the only way to reach those large serving numbers of 1500 mg glucosamine, 1000mg collagen, 1000 mg MSM etc touted by the company. While they recommend taking 8 caps at once, they do say you can take 4 caps twice a day. You could also take 1/2 the recommended dose and still get some benefits, which is what I do.<br /><br />If one follows the recommendations, this bottle delivers 25 servings, which translates to around $1.60 a day. I believe this level of dosage can yield tangible results for those wanting to support joints/cartilage health.<br /><br />Note that this supplement is not recommended for people under 18 years old, or for pregnant or nursing women. It is recommended that those on prescription medications or with underlying conditions consult their health care professional before taking this supplement.

It has eliminated a lot of the discomfort I’ve had in the past in my joints. I will keep on buying it. I weight lift about 3-4 times a week

You have to take so many. Honestly couldn't stomach having to take 8 pills all the time. So I stopped.using it! So if you only want to take about 2 pills... this isn't for you!

Took it once<br />& I've been taking ever since 😊😌
