Nutramax Cosamin DS Joint Supplement, Glucosamine Chondroitin, 210 Capsules

I admit to being very skeptical when it comes to these kind of OTC supplements and/or medications. I had been having hip pain and discomfort for some time, progressively getting worse. Orthopedic doctor told me I would eventually need hip replacement surgery. A family member has been a sales rep for a replacement joint manufacturer for several years now and in conversation with him he recommended I give this product a try. Not sure where he got that information from but figured he should have some inside information and what the heck it's worth a try. And to my complete surprise it has actually worked. It does not work immediately, takes several weeks to really kick in but as of the time of writing this (3 or 4 weeks in) I am in less pain and able to go about my life in a more normal manner. I do not know how it works but I can assure you it does. My doctor prescribed anti inflammatory drugs which I did not take because of blood pressure issues with them in a past experience. This Cosamin DS is not a cure all, the hip problem is still there, just much, much less, and I don't know if eventually the issue will force it's way back. The thought of having hip replacement surgery was something that scared the @#$% out of me so I am very happy with this product. Long may it last.

I have taken cosamin for years and I find it helps my joints and is easy to swallow.

Nearly a month in, with no life changes and taking this supplement every day as recommended, I have witnessed noticeable differences in my arthritic knee, pain threshold, and ability to walk and exercise. I'm not saying it's some magic elixir, and it could be more mental than physical, but it is working for me.

Very effective. Had been taken for 15 yeras and knees are in good shape @ 72 years old

great product and easy to swallow

I have used this product for over 20 years and still like it ut I liked the capsule better than new tablet form.

Very satisfied with purchase price and delivery

I endured progressing knee bone on bone for years so if you have waited to try these they will build up knee or any joint needing such. The sooner you start the sooner you will have improvement. they are not like a advil headache pill that takes effect in minutes. They build up how quickly depends on how long you endured, for me I did 2 bottles of 230, 2 in the morning and 1 at night.by 3/4 thru the second bottle I found the bone on bone knee started to ease off and after one year I can walk over 1 mile and hills, improvement from 300 yards then bone on bone pain stopped all walking. Now 1 or 2 in the morning is good, they do rebuild cartilage, stay with it a knee takes a beating over time. Or 2 right knee surgeries I had. they are the only ones that did make my knee happy again, I do not run on my knee, 2 surgeries ended running but I do LOVE WALKING AND HILLS WHEN THERE ARE PART OF MY WOODS TRAIL WALKING. Sorry about the caps, not a typist.

I finished the whole course and don't feel noticeably better. I work out too so maybe it does help but I'm attributing any positive health effect to my exercise regime?
