Nutramax Laboratories Cosamin DS for Humans (108 Capsules)

It definitely has an effect on my joints. I've been taking for years now. I am disappointed that they sell (or used to sell) a version without the manganese which is a critical nutrient and was used in the study the showed the spinal discs growing back.

Highly recommend to anyone putting there joints though vigorous exercise had no joint pain since taking this. Easy to take very effective stuff

Perfect brand for effectiveness. I’ve been taking it as a prophylactic for 15 yrs. My joints are good and no bones replaced. At age 81 ! Can’t prove it works, but why not.

This is close to what I give to my cats when they get hurt. The first time I used it was with my cat who thought she was still young and can jump. After a few days I could not find her inside the house. She jumped outside through my second story window. I had to go to work early morning, in winter, Alaska, and it is black plus she was a black cat. I couldn't find her. I was upset all day. When I came home there she was running toward me without a limp. I thought I would have to take her to a vet. I gave her the pill for a week. She never had a problem. Now I have given this same pill for my over weight feral cat, British Shorthair which are notorious for conserving their energy. She's lost weight but my daughter accidentally stepped on her foot. She limped. Gave her an equivalent pill for cats and she is fine. So I know this works. The pill equivalent for cats had boswelli in it so I added that. I am over sixty and plan on using this everyday for the rest of my life. I do not plan on slowing down not even for one day. I know this pill works by experience. They also have this for dogs & horses too.

My husband and I have been taking for about a month. I have arthritis in my upper back/neck and my knees crackle when I bend or climb stairs. It was recommended by one of my 85 year old patients whom has taken it for years and swears by it stating it prevented a knee replacement after being told she would probably need one. She said she has tried many glucosamine/chondroitin supplents and this one is the best. My husband has terrible arthritis in his thumb which has required steroid injections for pain relief. I mostly bought it to prevent further joint damage, not really expecting pain relief. Prior to starting this, I was taking 600mg ibuprofen daily for back and neck pain, and he was about to schedule another appointment for injection. I have not taken an ibuprofen since the 4th day of starting this, and his thumb pain is 90% better! We both take the recommended 3 capsules per day. We haven't experienced any negative side effects of this medication. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend giving it a try!
