NuBest Joint Xtra - Joint Support Supplement | Joint Health Formula with Triple Joint Strength - Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Turmeric, MSM | 1 Month Supply

Seemed to work very fast! In 3 days I had less pain and able to do more outdoor activities! Has great ingredients!

Got it for free and didn’t take it long enough to notice a difference

I started taking these to help out my joints from constantly running and lifting throughout my days. This keeps my joints strong and gets ahead of any possible knee injuries before they happen. No more pain and the results couldn’t have been better.

All the ingredients needed for joint support. Much better than the other ones I used before. Looking forward to getting my next bottle !

Since using Joint Xtra, my joint pain has been reduced and I feel much more freedom of movement. Now I can run and work out better without taking any kind of painkillers. It works as claimed.

I am not a doctor so I take my words with that in mind. I did not notice a tremendous amount of relief taking this, but then I have been in a lot of pain and might need more than a supplement like this can provide. I do know that my former rheumatologist recommended chondroitin and glucosamine (not this particular brand). To my limited knowledge such products are well studied and safe. (Although side effects can occur with almost anything we put in our bodies. Some clinical trials with glucosamine and chondroitin have discovered heartburn or abdominal pain, diarrhea, drowsiness, headaches and allergic reactions.) The chondroitin dosage seems very underwhelming at only 200mg.* There are some additional ingredients additional in this product like Turmeric & Boswellia. The price comes out to $1.33 a day for this 30 day supply. I would like to add I liked the fact this ad copy pointed out Lab Tested / 3rd Rarty Certified. The supplement market is often sketchy, and I eagerly looked to find the name of the "independent lab" in the text. All I could find was obviously stock photos of people in lab coats - which conveniently had no names on them. Should you take a supplement like this? Some people do report feeling better. But many do not! There was a study by The American College of Rheumatology in 2016: "Combined Treatment With Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine Sulfate Shows No Superiority Over Placebo for Reduction of Joint Pain and Functional Impairment in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis." I know, that rolls right off the tongue . . . Robert H. Shmerling, MD, with Harvard health Publishing summed up the study this way: "A 2016 study of glucosamine and chondroitin enrolled 164 patients with knee pain due to osteoarthritis and gave half of them a combination of glucosamine and chondroitin; the other half received an identical placebo pill. The study was stopped early for an unusual reason: those taking the supplement actually reported worse symptoms than those taking a placebo. This raises the possibility that taking glucosamine and chondroitin might make your joints feel worse than doing nothing." * According to verywellhealth: "The starting dose for most glucosamine chondroitin supplements is typically 1,500 milligrams (mg) of glucosamine and 1,200 mg of chondroitin daily for one to two months. If you start feeling better, you can reduce your dose to 1,000 mg of glucosamine and 800 mg of chondroitin per day." So this particular product only gives you 200mg of chondroitin - 1/6th to 1/4th of that common recommendation.

PROS Product is made in USA Nubest has a number of other products with good reviews. They have been around for a while. This version is a two pack. There is a different listing for a one pack that has good reviews. Product includes some ingredients which are thought to help with Joint pain/health (e.g. Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, collagen, tumeric, etc.) CONS I like to research the company behind a product that I'm putting in my body. Nubest appears to be a small marketing company (company address is the equivalent of a PO Box). Hard to find out anything about them. They appear to be a very aggressive marketing company, for example, some products that purport to help kids grow taller. Product includes a number of proprietary ingredients which have no scientific backing as to their effectiveness.

The main ingredient is Glucosamine which is what I'll cover here. "Glucosamine is a chemical found in the body. Glucosamine supplements are sold as glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and N-acetyl glucosamine. Glucosamine is used by the body to make other chemicals that build tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and the fluid that surrounds joints. Joints are cushioned by the fluid and cartilage around them. Taking glucosamine might increase the cartilage and fluid around joints and/or help prevent their breakdown. People commonly use glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride for osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is also used for joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these other uses. How does it work ? Uses & Effectiveness ? Likely Effective for Osteoarthritis. Taking glucosamine sulfate by mouth for at least 4 weeks can provide some pain relief and improve function for people with knee osteoarthritis. Products that contain glucosamine hydrochloride do not seem to work as well unless they are taken in combination with other ingredients. Taking glucosamine sulfate doesn't seem to reduce the risk of getting osteoarthritis." ~webmd So, given the excerpt above, we can safely say that Glucoasmine on its own isn't very effective. That's where this product comes in because it also has chondroitin and MSM which is usually paired with Glucoasmine in an innumerable amount of other products in my experience. But, it also has Bosweilia, turmeric, black pepper extract, collage, and a proprietary blend so all other goodies that are associated with paint relief for joints. I've had good anecdotal experiences with the Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM combo and this seems to be on par with everything else I tried and maybe better giving the additions. 8/10 I would recommend it. I hope this review is helpful.
