Cosamin DS (chondroitin / glucosamine) "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."
