NOW FoodsSupplements, Chondroitin Sulfate 600 mg (a Glycosaminoglycan), Joint Health*, 120 Capsules

I was a little skeptical, but after a couple of weeks, the horrible, painful locking up of my thumb joint went away! I would wake up in the morning and have to force myself to move my thumb.The bones in the joint were actually rubbing together.This supplement has helped tremendously.

Works just as advertised

The product arrived quickly and after taking it for a month, I can safely say that it is the most effective form of Chondroitin I have found. My arthritis is under better control since I have switched from a combination product to this brand of individual products. I take the NOW MSM and the NOW Glucosamine along with the NOW Chondroitin. The only thing I would improve is to make the capsules distinguishable from other capsules. All three products are large white capsules that are easy to swallow but impossible to tell apart from each other. I take one of each in the morning and one in the evening so I have to be very careful in setting up my pill minders to be sure that it is three different capsules in each slot.

This product was brought to my attention by a friend 3 years ago and I researched this product. I was amazed to find information on studies that was being done before the 1940's. Studied by a Dr Lester Morrison,(a Director and Researcher) and was published in 8 different medical journals about the CS in 1940's and has continued to be studied to this day. The research on chondroitin sulfate from bovine appeared to be the most effective. This is the only brand I have found that makes CS from bovine. I also consulted with an herbalist, Chinese Medicine specialist, and my physician before using CS. I gave this product 5 stars because it met my expectations based on the positive results.

Not easy to find this product sold as single supplement, which is what was recommended to me. Seems to be good quality; time will tell.

My husband is a sceptic about herbal and other such "cures", so it's HARD to get him to try things. He finally admitted this was helping his joint pain "somewhat" :) and agreed that I should order more. I believe this last bottle was our third order of it. :)

My hands feel better from taking these for arthritis. My MD recommended.
