Source Naturals Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex with MSM, 240 Tablets

Background: I had generally sore knees for many years (normal wear and tear), and I tore my meniscus at the end of 2012 (age 29). I opted not to have surgery. Friends suggested that I start taking Glucosamine and Chondritin to help improve the condition of my knee. After further research, I learned that MSM should also be taken, so this product was ideal, as it contained all three. I also looked up physical therapy routines for a torn meniscus, and started doing them every day. Once I was able to exercise again, I started doing that as well (running, weight-lifting, and soccer). In 2013, the knee with the torn meniscus felt even better than the non-injured knee. Of course, this could be because I was so diligent with the self-imposed physical therapy. In 2014, and through to today (February 2015, turning 32 years old in May), I have had NO KNEE PAIN AT ALL IN EITHER KNEE! According to my research on this product, the effects are cumulative, and require regular, long-term use. Because of this, I believe that my knees are in such great shape compared to 4 years ago because of the Glucosamine/Chondritin/MSM. The physical therapy could explain the improvement of the injured knee, but the fact that the wear-and tear pain on the non-injured knee is also gone convinces me that this product played a significant part. FYI, I started off taking 3 per day per the instructions, but eventually dropped down to taking 2 per day once my knee pain was gone. I still take two per day, despite having no knee pain for over a year. UPDATE: Around June 2015, I (think I) tore my meniscus in my other knee. I didn't actually go to a doctor this time, because it wasn't as bad as the first tear - I could actually lift my leg this time! Upped this to 3 per day again, and started doing the physical therapy routines. If I remember, I'll update the review again with results. UPDATE, May 2016. Both knees are fine again, and I dropped back down to 2 per day earlier this year. I'm not as diligent with taking them daily, which could possibly explain the occasional soreness in either knee. The soreness is minor, rare, and NOTHING compared to the two meniscus tears. Who knows if it's this product that has helped me all these years. One thing's for sure - I'm not gonna stop taking it!

I've been using this product daily for more than a decade ... ever since I fractured my patella & tore the cartilage underneath. It completely takes away any soreness or aches in the knee. If I happen to forget to take it for a few days (like when on vacation), my knee lets me know it! This product really works!!!

My knees have been aching and sore nearly every day for the last year or so. I did some reading on the internet and found that this is a good supplement to take for aching joints. I was skeptical, but thought I would give it a try. After taking them for about 3 weeks my knees are no longer sore all day every day. Yes, some days I still experience some soreness but I'd say it's much less intense and much less frequent than before I started taking these. Whether it is because of this supplement or some other factor I'm not sure, but all I know is that I'm happy my pain has, for the most part, gone away. The recommended daily dosing is 3 tablets / day but I have been taking 1 / day (I am a women and fairly small so I decided to start with a lower dose). The tablets are an ok size, by no means small but not as large as some I have seen. I'd say they're about the size of your average multivitamin. These came quickly through amazon and they were a good price, especially using subscribe and save. Overall I am very satisfied and will purchase again!

I am an active 53 year old female. Started taking these about 4 years ago for joint stiffness in my hands, just gripping the steering wheel while driving was bothersome. Took 3/day as part of my daily regimen. The results were not immediate, but after 3-4 months I noticed any discomfort I had was gone. Since my 20's, my knees have made a clicking sound (no pain) whenever climbing stairs. I was Almost dumbfounded when I realized my knees no longer creak and crack when climbing stairs. This stuff works.

My papillon has had 3 knee surgeries and I wanted her to have some support as she aged. She also has severe allergies so she couldn't take any of the "doggy" pills that have flavors and other additives. She's been on these for 3 years now and has never had an issue with them. I do break them in half for her and so far so good. She is 9 now and still very active so I'm hoping that these pills are going to keep her bones/joints healthy for a long time.

A very good supplement to keep your joints lubricated. Have been taking this for years and on the few occasions when I did quit taking it, my joints (especially the knuckles in my fingers) started hurting within a few days. So this is a small price to pay to keep that pain away.

This is the best (and finest formulated) glucosamine chondroitin supplement on the market. They have really helped my knees (less pain), and I think my skin looks really good as a result of taking them, too. The only reason I gave them four stars instead of five stars is because you have to take three of these daily...and the pills are HUGE. This supplement is expensive, too, but it's worth it. Definitely try these for at least 3-6 months to see best results...and drink lots of water when taking them, too, for better absorption.

The Source Naturals supplements are the best I have ever used. I highly recommend this brand and ask that you research the brand people and it will usually come out as the #1 choice! Thanks for offering such a wonderful brand and at great prices! I am a certified herbalist and use this brand myself because of the high quality they offer!
