For Osteoarthritis "I have been taking this for 20 years off and on, and I can tell you now if I don't take it, I cannot move, and the pain is unbearable. This works for me, and I have had ups and downs with it. I used to take it anytime I'd eat without food, this made me feel nausea, so now I know only after food. Stick to it, it works."

For Dietary Supplementation "I have been taking chondroitin/glucosamine for 25 years. I noticed how it really helped when I was on a trip and hadn't taken it for about 4 days, and I could hardly turn my head for the pain in my neck and how it quit when I went back on them. I really never connected the neck pain with the supplement until it happened again. About a year ago, I started having severe pain in my hips and hip joints, and it got so bad I could hardly walk and had a hard time moving after sitting. It would wake me up in the night. Just taking the chondroitin/glucosamine wasn't relieving it. I started adding MSM to the chondroitin/glucosamine, and in a short time, the pain started going away. I don't know if it was just the MSM that caused the improvement or not, but I now take all 3 religiously, and the pain is gone now. I can immediately start moving when getting up from sitting and can now sleep through the night."

Chondroitin / glucosamine / methylsulfonylmethane for Osteoarthritis "I have been taking Glucosamine HCl with MSM for about a two-week period and have had a very positive result with my knee pain. I have articular cartilage syndrome of my right knee. My only complaint is that my tailbone started hurting like crazy, it feels like it is swollen and hurts to sit down and bend down. This started after I took the glucosamine."

For Osteoarthritis "I had elbow pain and was unable to straighten my arms. I tried an expensive cream that worked and saw MSM as the active ingredient, so I began taking MSM tablets, and it was better after 2 weeks. My pain was in the spot in the back where you hit your 'funny bone.'"

For Osteoarthritis "While I was able to take this, it helped my knee pain a little. Problem was severe swelling in my feet and ankles. Began about 5-6 days after starting. I quit and tried again two months later with the same results."

For Osteoarthritis "The pain in my right hip and lower back from arthritis was getting excruciating! I am a nurse, and working about 70 hours a week... It was getting hard for me to manage. The pain was so bad it was keeping me from sleeping. Started taking Gluc--Condr--MSM. Within 2 days, I had almost ZERO pain! It feels like a miracle to me! The only side effect I noted was bloating and a lot of gas. I can live with that! I have not been taking it with food, so that might help..."

For Osteoarthritis "I’ve been taking glucosamine with chondroitin and MSM for a week. My left hip, femur, knee, and left ankle had unbearable pain at all times, nothing helped to relieve the pain until I started taking these pills. It is an enormous change. I do not have secondary effects other than heartburn once in a while, so I take it with food! I am so glad and very happy to have found these pills that have helped me so much in a short time!"

Chondroitin / glucosamine / methylsulfonylmethane for Osteoarthritis "I used this joint formula as prescribed (30 ml/day) for about 2 weeks. As it was recommended for 30 days to observe results, I couldn’t say for sure if it worked. Very easy to administer. However, I noticed constant burping for about 4 hours, diarrhea throughout the day, and general stomach upset, so I have discontinued use as suggested on the bottle. Not sure which ingredient is causing the problem in the formula. Upon other research, the recommended dosage of glucosamine is up to 1500 mg/day. This contains 2000 mg/day. Maybe too strong a dosage along with other ingredients?"

For Osteoarthritis "I have had knee pain for many years. At first, I took Glucosamine/ Chondroitin for a long time. It helped, but I still had some pain. Then I added the MSM, and the pain went away. I am unaware of any side effects. I'm a fan."

For Osteoarthritis "I bought a supplement that contains glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM. I took it, and it gave me horrible vomiting and an excruciating headache. Now, I am afraid to continue taking it. Since I only took one dose and the adverse effect was something immediate and very strong, now I do not know what to take to solve this problem of lack of cartilage in the knees."

For Osteoarthritis "It cured the stiffness in my knee, which helped also helped with flexibility. The reason I knew it worked is because when I stopped taking it, a month later the stiffness came back, so I have re-ordered. It was very easy to take."

For Osteoarthritis "Regardless of recent study results, I've been taking glucosamine for 10+ years, and it has reduced osteoarthritis pain in my knee. May not work for everyone, but I'm one of the lucky ones."

Chondroitin / glucosamine / methylsulfonylmethane for Dietary Supplementation "I’ve had left knee pain alongside elbow and shoulder stiffness in the mornings. After two to three weeks of taking the Glucosamine with Chondroitin, my stiffness and knee pain have gone. I notice now, every morning when I go down the stairs, that my knee no longer feels weak or feels like it’s about to give out. My shoulders and elbows bend perfectly first thing in the morning. I have diabetes, and it doesn’t seem to impact my glucose readings or levels."
