Chondroitin / glucosamine for Dietary Supplementation "After taking for two weeks, I noticed that my muscles in my arms, legs, as well as my feet were hurting. Aching, really. I have decided to stop taking to see if this might be the cause. This all started at the time I began taking Move Free."

Chondroitin / glucosamine for Osteoarthritis "Osteo Bi-Flex is an amazing supplement for mobility issues and pain. To me, it was a miracle drug. The downside is I had bad side effects, which were difficulty breathing and my legs starting hurting really bad. It's too bad because it was giving me so much relief otherwise."

Chondroitin / glucosamine for Osteoarthritis "I started taking the Move Free five days ago. I have had muscle pain and headaches every day. I have barely been able to sleep more than an hour at a time since. I am definitely going to stop taking this product."
