Osteo Bi-Flex (chondroitin / glucosamine) "Started taking the pills and the results were amazing, pain was gone, mobility was back. But on the negative side of things, side effects were terrible. I had 'rashes' in places you shouldn't and serious discomfort. Shortness of breath is a light term, I felt like I was being smothered, almost bad enough to call an ambulance. So I'm postponing to see if everything clears up and look for something else."

Schiff Move Free (chondroitin / glucosamine) for Osteoarthritis "I was having age related joint pain and muscle stiffness, I’m one month in with MF, haven’t had any adverse reactions, I’ve noticed better flexibility and less pain, in the morning I can practically jump outta bed, I’m usually 10 minutes to get up with joint pain, will continue and talk to my physician about it, I’m feeling right now it’s worth the money."

For Osteoarthritis "Started taking for knee pain. After two weeks, I started having insomnia--felt my heart was racing, skipping beats. Took blood pressure and found both my blood pressure and heart rate were quite elevated. I take BP meds that keep my BP at good levels. Just did some online research and found this supplement is not recommended for those with high BP. So, I've stopped the supplement...and will not take it again."

For Osteoarthritis "The side effects seem to be fairly rare so I wanted to share my experience. I started taking "Nature Made Triple Flex" a week ago. Ingredients are *Glucosamine Hydrochloride, 1500mg *Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium, 800mg *MSM, 750mg. Directions say to take two per day (1 serving). On the 4th day, I woke up with body aches, not much appetite, and slight cold chills. I've been doing a lot of lifting, working outside so thought it was that. I took two pills that day. Fifth day, same symptoms. I took two pills, one in morning and one at night. My husband started taking these when I did. His only symptom was fatigue. We stopped taking these two days ago. I still feel bad. The body aches are causing even more pain. No thank you. I don't understand what could be causing these symptoms? Neither of us have had any obvious allergic reactions. I do take one BP med. I just want to feel back to normal! I know I'm never taking this again."

For Osteoarthritis "When I took this continuously, it appeared helpful in movement and pain relief. I ran out of stock for about 15 days, the Pain and stiffness returned with a vengeance. It can merely be a pain killer and not a cure."

For Dietary Supplementation "I’ve been taking this medication for a short time & at the recommended dosage for arthritis & body joint pain. I heard about Glucosamine Chondroitin several months ago & really wanted to try it! Honestly, I don’t remember a time when I’ve had so much nausea, gas & bloating. I’m not sure if it’s helping my pain, as I’m too sick to even get out of bed. I’ve been more productive through the pain than on this medication!"

For Osteoarthritis "At age 60, I pushed my elbows way too hard doing curls one day. For the next month I could hardly lift a coffee cup with my right hand. I'm right-handed. From googling & studying WEB MB, I discovered Osteobiflex Triple Strength. Incredible results in days!!!!!!! Helped my back from a 10 year old automobile injury, too. Wasn't expecting that bonus. . I never run out. I have battled a little hair thinning, but if it's caused by the product."

For Osteoarthritis "Not long after I first started mountain biking on a hard trail bike my knees started to ache and soon become pretty painful. I came across a product from Hammer Nutrition called Tissue Rejuvenator. It is glucosamine & chondroitin that’s suppose to rebuild joint, tendon, and soft tissue, while reducing swelling and alleviating aches and pain. So I tried it for a couple months and did have relief. I ran out and a few weeks later my knees were starting to ache again so ordered more, soon the aching went away. That was about 20 years ago and I’m still using it and still mountian biking, road biking and working out at the gym with no knee pain. I have upgraded to full suspension mountain bikes since but I’m pretty sure the glucosamine chondroitin is a big contributor to being pain free joints. As far as hair loose I've lost a little over the years but it's mostly associated genetics."

Schiff Move Free Caplets (chondroitin / glucosamine) for Osteoarthritis "I started taking Move Free Caplets with Turmeric for almost 2 weeks to help ease my knee pain. After a week my knee pain decreased significantly, but I started having pain in my left calf, which has increased with each day. I didn’t do anything out of the ordinary to cause muscle stiffness/soreness, so I’m going to stop taking the caplets to see if it makes a difference. Has anyone had the same experience? Thank you."

Schiff Move Free (chondroitin / glucosamine) for Osteoarthritis "I've never felt worse all arthritic joint pain. I’ve been taking the supplement for two months on the recommendation of my physical therapist who is aware that I have gout. Nowhere on the label or anywhere can I find that this supplement contains shellfish, which apparently it does. I knew something was wrong and just stop taking it because it was the only change I made. Only to find out two weeks later that the supplement contains shellfish this product made me worse."

Cosamin DS (chondroitin / glucosamine) for Osteoarthritis "I’ve been taking it for 15+ years after a second knee surgery, where my surgeon said I have the knee of someone 20 years older due to the arthritis. I now have OA in the knee and the Cosamin has definitely helped with pain and mobility and further degradation of the knee and the cartilage."
