I have cervical spinal stenosis, which comes with extreme pain, basically useless muscles and it has gotten to the point where I can barely sit up. I have only been taking this for a few weeks; 1/2 tablespoon in my coffee every morning. After about a week, I started sitting up more. Walking has gotten easier and is less painful. It's not helping my muscles, at least pain wise. But it seems to be helping my bones a lot. They don't feel like they're grinding against each other as much so I can actually sit up for a bit every day. I'm looking forward to seeing if it gets any better. If you have any spinal stenosis, arthritis or anything similar I highly recommend trying this. UPDATE: 1 Month Later I only take half a tablespoon daily at the moment. Ingesting: It is not tasteless to me. It has kind of a creamy flavor/texture- works perfectly with coffee. I do not recommend taking it in a cold beverage- it was awful. Body Changes: I think my roots are less white/grey but not quite sure. My skin, however, is a LOT softer. If you are a woman, you may notice your bum and chest feeling fuller, softer and firmer. Psoriasis: This has significantly slowed the growth rate of Psoriasis on my scalp and a little bit on my face. The Psoriasis on my scalp is also much thinner and easier to remove. I CAN SIT UP. I sit up for several hours a day with no additional pain and I think my back muscles are starting to develop. Over time, I have noticed my posture has also improved. Pain: Very little effect, but I did not buy this to help with pain. I am able to walk with little to no pain in my hips and legs. It DOES seem to be cushioning the areas between the vertebrae in my neck, hence why it's so much easier for me to sit up
