Signature Glucosamine HCI 1500mg Chondroitin Sulfate 1200mg 220 Tablets/New Increased Count

(See my UPDATE at the end) I've been hearing about this product for years and never thought it had anything to do with me. But I've been suffering from terrible lower back pain for the last couple of years. Sometimes I throw my back out and can hardly walk - for days. In between those times, my back can get really stiff. When I get up in the mornings I can barely move until I lean against the wall and twist around slowly for a few seconds to loosen things up. And during the days I have to be really careful not to get into a position that will throw it out. Sometimes I'll turn and suddenly I'll feel a bad pain and I've learned I have to stop moving immediately at that point - and slowly turn back and work it out before I can move freely again. But that's not what I went to the doctor about a month and a half ago. I went to the doctor for the crick in my knee. When I bend my right knee it actually makes a noise! That couldn't be good I thought, better go to the doctor about that. I figured there was no point in mentioning my back - what could they do anyway? So he suggested I take Chondroitin with Glucosamine. I asked him how I would know if it was working and he said the sound will go away in your knee. But it'll take 2-3 months to begin to work, he said. Well, after about a month and a half there's still the sound in my knee, but about a week and a half ago I got out of bed one day and was pretty shocked when suddenly I realized I had no pain or stiffness in my back!!! I thought it couldn't be true and eagerly waited until the next morning to see if it would happen again. I mean, to see if -nothing- would happen again. And it did! Or it didn't - whichever way you wanna look at it. There was no pain or stiffness the second day. Now a week and a half later - still - nothing. No pain or stiffness when I get up. And the frequency and severity of the pain during the day has gone away about 90%! I'm so excited - I had no idea this would do anything for my back! But apparently it has. When he told me to take this I scoffed. I said I hear that advertised on the radio all the time - it can't be any good. I took it reluctantly but promised him I'd take it for at least a month and just see. Well, now I've seen! And I couldn't be happier. Now that I've gone almost two weeks with little to no back pain I'm realizing how bad it really was. It had happened so gradually and over such a long period of time (3-4 years) that I didn't realize how bad it had gotten, I had gotten so used to it. I had totally forgotten that it's not normal to not be able to move at all when you first get up! It's amazing what our minds can adjust to, and forget. If the pain comes back, or the crick in the knee goes away, I'll post an update. UPDATE 4/16/2012: I'm happy to report that the back pain hasn't returned. I would say it's 99.99% better! I would give it 100% but a few days ago I had a little incident with my back (very minor) lasting about a minute where I felt that old pain when I twisted the wrong way. But I was able to straighten it out and it hasn't recurred since. So, for the last two months I've only had one incident. I used to have several each day. So that's about as close to 100% better as you can get. As for the crick in the knee - it's still there. Still makes a sound. But it has never caused any pain and still doesn't so I'm okay with it. I want to say the sound is a little less loud than it used to be but that could just be my imagination. My rule was to only report if the sound went away completely. That way there could be no mistake. By the way, when the doctor first told me to use this he told me to take 3 a day - 6 hours apart. He said the point was to keep it steadily in your bloodstream all day long. So taking 3 a day all at once won't help. Spread it out throughout the day and it'll work much better.

膝や関節の痛みにとてもいいです

I'm terrible about remembering pills, but when I DO manage to take TWO--it says so on the bottle, and one a day did nothing--for several days in a row I notice a distinct and strong improvement in persistent achy joints from years of very physical jobs. The pills are huge but the taste is bland and tolerable. EDIT: NOT for taking if you have any shellfish allergies, as I have learned and other reviewers may have mentioned. I myself do not. It's now January, 2013. I finally put an alarm on my phone to take this EVERY DAY..........and noticed, when one of my feet fell asleep, that I was sitting Indian-style at my computer. For the first time in nearly a decade. Or, at least, for the first time in nearly a decade that I didn't notice in about three minutes due to excruciating knee pain. This must've been at least half an hour. I would guesstimate this happened about ten days after faithfully taking two pills EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. There is DEFINITELY something to this stuff! Joints I didn't know were bad off/fixable (left wrist, for example) are not troubling me significantly any more. I move more fluidly and with less caution, and this is a good thing in a semi-physical work environment. I don't remember the last time I had to crack my back, either. When I had managed to remember for roughly a week I got "odd" pains--nothing severe, but weird tingly sensations, tiny aches, and new "crunches" when I moved certain things. And the old crunches were no longer reliable. Now, I still have knee pain. Crawling around on the floor trying to assemble some flat-box furniture taught me that. But it stops when the activity is over, doesn't keep me up that night, and isn't there the next day. Worth it. It won't make you twenty again, but it'll definitely take away stimuli that you don't need in your life! I haven't felt this free to move or pose since I was..........well, twenty-five or six, maybe. I'm about a decade past that now, and a LOT of that was rough heavy repetitive motion. COMPLETELY recommended if you can TAKE TWO A DAY, every day. VERY well worth it! Bumped up to five stars! Will absolutely buy again when I realize I can see the bottom of this jug.

８年位前から、この製品を使用していました。２年位前に小粒タイプ（１日３錠）の製品に変わりました。先日 この２２０錠入りを見つけ、購入しました。 説明書では、小粒の １日３錠タイプと この １日２錠タイプは成分が同じとの事ですが、私には。この１日２錠タイプが 会っているようです。今後も継続するつもりです。

このサプリメントは２回目です。 以前とパッケージデザインが変わったようですね。 これは、サプリメントなので、なんとなく、膝の保護になるかと思い飲んでます。 気休めかもしれません。 日本で良く見かけるものより安いので飲んでます。 タブレットはなかなか大きいです。２錠で済むので、良いかもしれませんが、飲み込みづらいです。
