For Osteoarthritis "After one full week of taking the Move Free Ultra, the one pill per day dosage as indicated in the directions, I found zero relief from my joint pain, but on about the 5th day, I noticed my face was a little puffy, but didn’t attribute it to the pills, and on the 7th day, along with the puffy face, both eyelids were puffy. When I looked closer at the side effects, puffy eyelids were listed as a possible side effect. Not wanting to risk any further problems... after one week, I am going to stop this supplement."

For Dietary Supplementation "I noticed that my hands and feet were swollen. I realized that it felt like a reaction that I have when I touch or eat shrimp or eat pork. The only thing that I knew that was different in my diet was the Move Free. I had been taking the Move Free for three days. I looked up the ingredients and saw that it was made with shellfish as well as an ingredient made from pork."

For Osteoarthritis "After several months of taking the Schiff Move Free, I noticed swelling in my feet and a deep rash on one foot and leg. I know I cannot eat tuna, but that's in the 'finfish' category, so not sure about this. I stopped taking the Move Free, and the rash cleared up. So to be on the safe side, I stopped taking this product altogether."

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."

For Osteoarthritis "This product all but eliminated my knee and joint pain. Unfortunately, I failed to follow the recommendation to inform my doctor that I was taking it. My side effect is very swollen feet and legs. I had to give up on less joint pain and stop taking it."
