Neither wind nor rain nor IBD joint pain…

I have ulcerative colitis and started using this product after reading some "shows promise" studies about how it can possibly help heal the gut mucosa in IBD. I was on steroids for a flare at the time I started using it, and had severe joint problems to the point of being barely able to walk. I was even going to physical therapy at the time. Soon after I started taking this product regularly (a week or two), my joint pain began to subside significantly (my knees and hips) in spite of the steroids I was still on, and I was able to join a gym and begin to regain my pre-flare strength. I also saw improvement in my bowel symptoms though that was not quite so dramatic as what I saw in my joints - the steroids mask a lot of course. Now that I am off the 'roids, I am hopeful that this in addition to other supplementation (VSL#3, a variety of vitamins and minerals) will help keep me that way. And oh by the way - my joints are operating at 99% now doing HIIT training at the gym (great gains) and ballroom dancing and horseback riding! I wasn't expecting to be able to do high-impact workouts again without leg braces, much less get back in the saddle without a step ladder

Glucosamine binds Lectin to Prevent the Lectins from binding to joint tissue and eventual inflammation.

Here is why Glucosamine Supplements may work for you (depending on what you eat). The theory is that we consume certain plants that are high in lectins. (For some plants lectins are natural defense in nature). After consumption, the lectins bind to polysaccharides found on human cells. Joint tissue in particular are high in polysaccharides that lectins will bind to. Glucosamine supplementation will bind to the lectins in the digestive system rather than allow the lectins to circulate, attach to joint tissue and create an inflammation response i.e. joint pain. After a week my joints feels about the same but my intestines feel better. Full disclosure I started this supplement with a few other intestinal support supplements

A runner's best friend

I've been using Jarrow's glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM for years. It takes about two months of regular consumption to notice a difference; however, it only takes a few weeks to notice a negative impact if I stop taking it. I started taking it for my knees for running. Now I continue to take it for other joint pain. I feel this brand works noticeability better than other brands

Helping my Dog's Arthritis in Joints

I use this faithfully 2x day (5 pills am/pm) for my 14 year old dog's painful Arthritis. I rub cashew butter or organic peanut butter all over my pills and my dog takes them without issues. Her Arthritis was severe and after a month, it is slowly easing up. I also use Gaia Herbs Tumeric and Pure Mountain Botanicals Ginger Supplements for pain2x day (2 pills of each am/pm). They work to eliminate her pain. I couldn't be more pleased with the success! I take all these supplements, too and they eliminate my pain. The vet wanted to give my dog some junk which was costly and needed liver scans. Just so thoughtful to add more toxins to an all ready sick dog. My sweetie has a lymphoma on top of lyme. I am fighting quite the battle with herbs. I found all my ingredients I need with a company called Sustenance Herbs.com. The holistic vet lives in Maine and grows herbs w/out chems. She will help you w products if u call/email. My other company I use is Green Gorilla for CBD oil for dog's supplements. I am 6 weeks into my battle w the lymphoma but these PLUS RAMACKERS NUTRITION has built up my dog's ability to fight everything. For the Lyme I used Professional Formulas Lyme Nosode Drops. My dog seems to be cured of lyme. All these supplements are clean/safe! The vet was shocked at how good my old girl looked at my appt after 6 weeks. I also have a holistic vet helping

Don't expect relief from Arthritis for up to 3 to 6 months.

Usually, this product in this size costs up to twice as much. Prescribed to me some 15 years ago by an orthopedic doctor for ostio Arthritis in the knee. Once taken every day it may take up to 6 months to relieve pain when walking. I can't live without it

Works for me.

I'm not a big advocate of supplements that don't have a lot of scientific mumbo-jumbo to back them up, but these seem to do work as advertised for relieving mild to moderate joint pain due to strenuous exercise. I'm an avid weight lifter and notice a few years ago that my knees, shoulders and elbows started aching after a good work-out. I attributed it to age and over-doing it, but thought I'd give these a try. I was pleasantly surprised to find that after just a few days the joint pain disappeared. I take one in the morning, one before a work-out and one after and have not experienced the dull ache I used to have in the evening and next morning since I started taking these

Excellent service, quality product, FAST delivery !

We've had TWO mobility compromised medical dogs far outlive their anticipated lifespans thanks in part to the use of this superior Glucosamine. Picky had very invasive TPLO surgeries on both back legs at 4 and 5 years old, an instant set up for early onset Arthritis yet she was still running like the wind at 19.25 yrs old! And, while we would advised Ms Sadie was paralyzed and would need to be euthanized 8 years ago, the vets have long called her the "miracle dog" as she regained some use of her back legs, relearned to walk AND even run, had a wonderful and active life until passing from unrelated illness at 15 yr old. AMAZING! We also run a dog rescue, averaging 500 large dog adoptions annually for almost 24 yrs now. That's a LOT of dogs. I have observed in 4 different surgeries to scrape and clean out fermented rotten rawhide from 4 different dogs' stomachs and twice noted small objects that resembled stones or pebbles that the surgeons explained were likely hard Glucosamine tablets given to the dogs and never fully digested. As it's well known that dogs do NOT have the best digestive systems, we prefer this powdered Glucosamine in a gel cap as it is instantly assimilated the minute it enters the dogs stomach which is far better for the dog AND much more effective as a treatment. Not to mention that it is much easier on the budget compared to other options. We therefore highly recommend this product in our printed adoption material AND speak to every single adopter, in addition to others, personally advising them to use this Glucosamine to ensure the health and extend the lifespan of their fur friends

Longevity advantage /binds lectins from food

This can be used to bind lectins from food, as per Dr. Gundry's “Plant Paradox” diet (must read if you have an autoimmune condition or cancer!) Binding lectins apparently stops autoimmune conditions such as Arthritis, hence the proposed mechanism of protecting joints via preventing autoimmune response in one's body. Also: this apparently offers some longevity advantages. Feel free to research this some more. I take it for longevity along with low dose over the counter lithium, niagen, and pterostilbene. All counter aging, per my research. (This is not medical advice. But people keep asking me if I'm in college... I'm not. :D It's been a while.

This is a valuable supplement that helps me.

I use this product to relieve shoulder pain and also to block harmful lectins present in certain foods. I have Arthritis and I feel less discomfort when I am using this product

Very effective

I waited a few months before reviewing to make sure the product was effective. Yes, it really is. It eased joint pain and helped with mobility issues I have from MS. Definitely worthwhile. I will always use this product
