Divine Bounty Glucosamine Sulfate 2000mg with MSM, 240 Small Capsules | Joint Support Supplement with No Shellfish or Harmful Additives, Vegan & Vegetarian Friendly

I have been bothered by shoulder, neck and back pain for close to 50 years, due to injuries and excessive physical activities. . When it got too intense I used small amounts of prescription muscle relaxant, and pain killers to relieve the pain and restore movement. When we started going to a new doctor recently, he suggested that I try glucosamine. However, when I tried to purchase some, I found that all of the brands were based on shellfish, that I have an extreme allergy to. By extreme, I mean "life threatening". I discovered this product, in June of 2018, and began a very careful, and monitored use. The pain subsided, after about two weeks, and the movement of my arms and shoulders which had been restricted, gradually was restored, in about a month. But wait, it gets better. Almost 15 years ago my wife, was told that she should have hip replacement surgery, because of deterioration, caused by arthritis. After seeing several of our friends, and relatives who had the hip replacements done, suffer for years, and endure product recalls, and numerous other medical procedure and ending up no better, and still endure large amounts of pain and in some cases worse, she opted out. Over the years she, began using a cane, and began to rely on shopping carts for support, when we went shopping. In addition she spent many sleepless, and sometimes tearful nights. However, when she saw the really good effect this product, had on me, she began to use it. Again over a few months, there was a gradual, and noticeable improvement. For most part she is pain free, and able to walk without the cane, but she still leans on the shopping cart. If I didn't see it, I would not have believed it possible. But taking this supplement is also accompanied by exercise, not a formal program, but by leading an active life style, and eating a mostly plant based diet. We are both 78 years old, and looking forward to the spring gardening season. I manage to do something outside a few hours each day, weather permitting, while my wife enjoys cooking, and cleaning, and sprucing up our home. (yes enjoys cleaning) I hope that this information is helpful and someone, at least might try using glucosamine, and only submit to surgery as a last resort. Remember it is elective.

My Orthopedic Surgeon prescribed Glucosamine for me, and when I went to pick it up locally everything anyone had included shellfish :(. I am potentially fatally allergic to shellfish, so no way I could take those! Went hunting on Amazon and very fortunately found these :). No shellfish, have the Glucosamine the doctor wanted me taking - and they DO seem to be helping with my joints! VERY pleased!Have now been taking this for over a month, and within 48 hours it had the wonderful side effect of nearly normalizing my bowels for the first time in over a decade (I’m on medication ps that cause issues). At about the four week period I began seeing a HUGE difference in my joints. For years if I worked in the yard more than 15-30 minutes I would be in agony for days with hands, lower back, hips and knees. As a once avid gardener it was horrible. I am now able to spend 2-3 hours a day working hard in the yard, and one day spent 8 hours!!! I feel like I have been given my life back, I cannot recommend this highly enough. For me it has been a miracle drug!

This product is fantastic. But in the beginning I let my "pill fear" get the best of me and when I opened up the bottle and saw the large pills and then read the packaging which said take 4 pills a day I then proceeded to close the bottle and put it on the shelf for 2 months. Something inside of me said to revisit the pills perhaps the price I paid or my constant knee pain but I did and wow wee! I took only 2 pills because I was nervous about so many pills and after only 2 days, I lost about 5 Lbs and significant inches off my waist. On the 4 day I decided to start taking the full dosage of 4 pills per day and not only have I lost over 10 pounds in less than 1 month I have felt improvement in my joints. I would wholeheartedly recommend this product to anyone wanting to feel better, healthier, loose weight, add as a supplement to any joint pain regimen w/ doctor approval (chronic pain such as Fibromyalgia, nerve pain, MS, etc.) I spoke to my Rheumatologist and he supports positive and proactive accent supports. Hope you feel better Everyone. Don't get discouraged - we are a community - the struggle is real.

We have tried this through one bottle and can't see that it has made a difference. Capsules are easy to swallow and good ingredients but doesn't work for everyone.

i’ve done a lot of damage to my body over the years and now that i’m in my 60s, it’s catching up to me. i would wake up with sore knees and sore wrists from bone on bone contact due to cartilage damage, this helps, it’s not a miracle cure all but it helps along with my other meds. size of capsules is manageable, no real taste or smell to mention, and they make getting up every day a little easier.

I have been taking this for a couple of weeks and seem to notice an improvement in my joints. It's too soon to be absolutely sure but I'll take any improvement I can get!

just ok as there are better choices

We e used for years. If we ever stop we realize how good it’s actually working. It’s great product.
