Kirkland Signature Extra Strength Glucosamine Hydrochloride 1500mg With MSM 1500mg Joint Health Supplement Pack Of 375 Tablets

I watched a local news report where they tested several joint supplements. Of the ones they tested; only Kirkland had the listed dosage, no dangerous ingredients and was absorbed by the body correctly.I read the various reviews hered at Dropy and decided to try it.I am 53, and have daily, aching pain in my shoulders, my left the most, my left elbow and most fingers on both hands.I have been taking the maximum recommended dosage of Aleve daily before I tried this supplement.All I can say is WOW! I took one pill at 10am, ate my lunch at 10:30am, then took a second pill. Yes, these are big pills, but I got them down with little effort. I left for work at 12:20pm, almost 2 hours after I took the pills. I first noticed my elbow no longer hurt. Before, I could not pick up a cup of coffee with out pain in my left elbow, going down towards my wrist. This was gone. I also noticed my left shoulder did not hurt while holding the steering wheel. normally, just holding onto the wheel would cause it to ache.I finished work at 11:30 pm, and was still feeling good, I could feel a dull ache coming back into my left shoulder. I took an Aleve and went to bed, best sleep I have had in a long long time.Next day, I took one pill with breakfast and decided to try the second pill with supper. This did not work too good. Yes, the pain was greatly relieved, but, it was still there.Next day, I took both pills with my lunch and felt great up until around midnight, where I decided to take another Aleve to sleep.I guess I should state that sleeping causes both my shoulders to ache unbearably. But now with this supplement and a nightly Aleve, I can really sleep.Also, I can say do NOT take these on an empty stomach. I have to take these right after eating a full meal. If I do not, I feel them in my stomach and feel somewhat nauseousYesterday, I again took this supplement, but forgot to take my Aleve, and still slept better than I have in months!

My father has recently been having a lot of problems with his joints and mobility (he's 74, so that's pretty good to just start having joint problems) and he's hell bent on not having surgery or using painkillers, so I started the great internet search to find him a supplement that would help.I read an article about using glucosamine as a supplement to help with joints, but unluckily for me, there are SO many different types and doses and brands and ahhh, it seemed hopeless. I started asking around, and got the hit on the kirkland brand pill that not only was supposed to work, but also work in a way that eventually you lessen your dosage rather than increase it.After consulting my dad's doctor, who said it was fine for him to try GC, I ordered this package online. After a few weeks of him taking it, we both noticed a definite improvement in his aches and pains as well as his mobility. In addition to the GC, we started usingThermaChill Pain Relief Roll On Cold Therapy, 3 fl oz. - Top Choice for Arthritis, Migraine Relief, Joint & Muscle Pain - Limited Time Offer: Buy 1 Get 1 Free!, a pain relieving ointment that works in the same vein as icyhot/biofreeze, but apparently with longer results.The Thermachill has tea tree oil and menthol in it so it first works at warming the pained areas, and then soothes them with a cooling sensation. My dad said that it made him feel so much better, and this paired with the GC has left him in really high spirits. Another cool thing about the thermachill is that it's easy to apply, so he can do it himself before he goes to bed. I definitively give the kirkland brand of GC five stars, it's a great value and it seems to really be working for my father.

I discovered the benefits of glucosamine and chondroitin, (GC) years ago when arthritis in my knees was making pain a daily occurrence. Pain killers and other forms of arthritis formulas had minimal success, or at least just gave me very temporary relief. I started out using name brands of GC like Osteo Biflex or Move Free, but quickly realized that you could do much better price wise by sticking with store or generic brands. I have never bought GC of any kind online before, since it seems that GC products of all strengths and kinds go on sale on a two for one basis all the time. Even with Amazons free shipping and savings on sales tax it was never worth it. Then I discovered this Kirkland brand that beats all the two for one deals locally here. Anyone that is familiar with GC knows that there are all different kinds, (making it a real pain to choose at first). There is regular, double and triple strength, and GC with MSN, another compound proven to be effective for arthritic pain. It's easy to assume with no other real knowledge of this stuff that the triple strength GC with MSN has to be giving you all that there is in one of these formulas, and up till recently that was all I took. I decided to try this Kirkland brand with the potent dose of glucosamine and MSN in place of the chondroitin strictly based on the price of it. Even with the two for one store brand deals thrown in this formula is the best deal around for the number you get and the dosage. Even though I was reluctant to try this because of the absence of chondroitin, I am happy to report that I have noticed no difference whatsoever in using the Kirkland formula. Its been some time indeed since I have felt any pain in my knees from arthritis thanks to using some form of GC, so any return of pain would have signaled to me that this formula minus the chondroitin was not up to par with the rest. But that has not been the case at all. This Kirkland blend with the hefty dose of both glucosamine and MSN is working very well on both my pain and my wallet. I plan on sticking to it for as long as it continues to be effective, and at a bargain price...In conclusion, if you already take some form of GC and MSN, or any combo/strength thereof, I would suggest trying this blend if money is an object, like it is with most of us. I am having great continued success with this Kirkland brand as I have all along with others. And one last thing, some other reviewers here have made it a point to make it understood that you need to take 2 tablets to reach the total dosage advertised. Personally I have never taken any brand of GC that didn't require a two tablet dose daily to get what they promise. The Kirkland product is no different in that sense. I suggest trying this blend and judging it strictly on the merits of how it works for you. For as a bargain, its certainly one of the best around, if not the very best....

Great deal for high quality supplement.

I am now a believer. I've seen a huge difference in my 11year old dogs legs. Her movement is fluid and she can stand on her hind legs again. It's such an improvement!!
