Chondroitin / glucosamine for Dietary Supplementation "I started using this product and had good results for a while, but when they reduced the size of the pills and they were then smaller, my results were not the same. I use it but still have more pain in my joints than I used to."

Chondroitin / glucosamine for Osteoarthritis "I was having pain in my joints, so I started taking Osteo Bi-Flex Triple Strength. Within a couple of weeks, I developed severe swelling in my legs, ankles, and feet. I stopped taking it, and lo and behold, the swelling went away. I'm very disappointed, to say the least."

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 out of bed. I’m usually 10 minutes to get up with joint pain. I 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 Dietary Supplementation "I have knee pain and have only been taking it for about a week, and I'm already feeling much better. I need to have a knee replacement after I went to OIP orthopedic Dr. My knees hurt me so bad, so I decided to give GC a try. Wow, not a lot of pain anymore. I love it and will tell everyone to try it. Thank you, Cheryl."

For Dietary Supplementation "I’ve been taking this medication for a short time at the recommended dosage for arthritis and body joint pain. I heard about glucosamine chondroitin several months ago and really wanted to try it! Honestly, I don’t remember a time when I’ve had so much nausea, gas, and 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 "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 painkiller and not a cure."

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 stopped 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."

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 and studying WebMD, 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 became pretty painful. I came across a product from Hammer Nutrition called Tissue Rejuvenator. It is glucosamine and chondroitin that's supposed to rebuild joints, tendons, and soft tissue, while reducing swelling and alleviating aches and pain. So I tried it for a couple of months and did have relief. I ran out, and a few weeks later, my knees were starting to ache again, so I ordered more, soon, the aching went away. That was about 20 years ago, and I’m still using it and still mountain 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 loss, I've lost a little over the years, but it's mostly associated with genetics."

Chondroitin / glucosamine "2 days I've been taking this stiffness has subsided and pain is overall gone. This product was well worth what I paid for. I wished I had tried it sooner. So wonderful to be walking better and have no pain and stiffness. 5 stars."

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 I thought it was that. I took two pills that day. Fifth day, same symptoms. I took two pills, one in the 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."

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."

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."

"Started taking it when pain and grinding returned 6 mos after knee surgery. Within a month, could tell it was getting much better. Also, shoulder pain and knuckle stiffness disappeared. I'm 66 and have been taking it for 12 years now, and all joint pain is gone. I've been buying the Sam's Club generic version of Osteo-Biflex. Fortunately, I've never had any adverse side effects, so I'll take it as long as I live."

Chondroitin / glucosamine for Osteoarthritis "My osteoarthritis got so bad I couldn’t tap the letters on my iPhone keypad. I remembered one day that glucosamine and chondroitin were supplements pushed to give older dogs for arthritis. So, I went to Costco and found several options. After reading all the labels, I decided on trying Cosamin because it was clinically and double-blind tested. Within a few days, I was feeling amazing again in my fingertips and along my arms where my arthritis hits me hardest. Over the years, I have tried other glucosamine and chondroitin products, including Kirkland brand, and while they do help with some relief, none have been as effective as Cosamin. My body is very used to it now, and I don’t get any side effects from it, except pain relief. When first trying it out, take with food. I take two pills in the morning and one at night. Much less stiffness too when I wake up. I rarely add a fourth pill during mid-day. Cosamin says take three a day, but I have no issues taking four when needed."
