"Started taking Cosamin DS several months ago for arthritis pain and stiffness. Started having excessive gas about the time I started taking Cosamin DS. I plan to stop taking Cosamin DS to see if this cures my gas problem. Hair loss may also be associated."

"I started taking Cosamin DS for osteoarthritis and back pain in 2010 and continued taking it for 10 years. Over time I became pain-free and stopped regularly taking all other pain medication. In early 2020, I stopped taking Cosamin and remained pain-free until Spring 2021 when I lifted something too heavy. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories did not help the pain. In late fall 2021, I had an epidural injection of steroids and another in the late Summer of 2022. They only worked for a few weeks. In October 2022 I purchased a 1-month supply of Cosamin DS and within 3 weeks I noticed less pain. It’s now mid-January 2023. I am still nearly pain-free in my back, hips, and thumb. I can walk a mile, even more, if I rest a few hours between excursions, and climb a few flights of stairs."

"Have been taking Cosamin DS for a couple of months. I started having severe gas and stomach pains. I never associated it with the supplement until reading these reviews. I’m discontinuing and hope the issue resolves."

"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."
