Any brand has been helpful, but the ones that seem to work the best have been combinations with MSM - a bit more expensive, but still cheaper with less negative side effects than most prescriptions. I think for this to be effective, one needs to be consistent with taking it.

I started this treatment in January and along with loosing 30lbs. I am able too walk longer without pain. It could be the combination of the treatment and the weight loss I don't know.

I started this treatment in January and along with loosing 30lbs. I am able too walk longer without pain. It could be the combination of the treatment and the weight loss I don't know. I also only take 1 1000mg pill instead of the recommended dose of 2. I don't usually take any supplements of any kind and just take ibeprophin for pain relief. I haven't any health insurance and can't afford to go to a doctor to find out what is wrong with my knee. I rely on reviews to help me make decisions on my health care.. I have no allergies and am in otherwise good health. I don't smoke never have and have a couple of drinks every so often. I am a kitchen manager for a school cafeteria and am on my feet 10 hours a day. I would recommend this supplement to anyone looking for knee pain relief.

I was having pain in my knees and back. A friend recommended glucosamine with condroitin. I take one with each meal. Within one week I felt so much better. Knees are back to normal, get out of bed without any pain in back. Have been having headache and upset stomach has anyone else using experienced this side effect?
