Amazon Brand - Solimo Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex with MSM Glusosamine 1500mg, Tablet, Chondroitin/MSM Complex 1103mg, Four Month Supply, Adult, 240 count (Pack of 1)

Through the years, I've taken glucosamine/chondroitin several times, and it didn't seem to help anything. My nephew recommended this complex (mg dosage mix). He said he felt nearly pain-free the first day or two. I ordered the Solimo brand because it was extremely cheaper than the drugstore brands and the same milligrams. Wow! My nephew was right! I just take two every morning, and my knee hardly bothers me at all (arthritis). And I just feel better all over where I've had arthritic pain. I am sixty-nine and worked in the yard a few days---something I haven't been able to do at all. I highly recommend this product and will continue to take it.

First of all, I am really tired of people preaching about the placebo effect every time someone has a positive reaction to medicine/supplements, etc. Yes, the placebo effect is real, but that does not mean that nothing actually works. In fact, I am an extremely pessimistic person when it comes to supplements. You could say that I regularly experience the opposite of the placebo effect, as I have been disappointed by so many things, that I assume nothing really works. I will now step off my soapbox and review this product, thanks for listening, tip your waitress. I have occasional knee problems, and constant hip pain (both) thanks to the many body-breaking jobs I've had over the decades. I overdid ibuprofen a few years ago, and now can barely take it due to what it did to my stomach. I tried turmeric, couple different brands and doses, no help at all. I haven't had a solid night's sleep in years due to having to constantly shift positions to relieve weight on my hips. It's exasperating. I decided to try glucosamine/chondroitin and picked this product due to price and reviews. There was absolutely no change in my pain for for about the first week, so I chalked it up to yet another letdown. By the end of the second week, however, I noticed that I was shifting in bed much less, and didn't have fire in my hip joints when I got out of bed. Now, almost a month since first taking it, I only have hip pain after a long hike or extended time on the exercise bike. But, even this goes away after a few hours, and I have very minimal and easy to tolerate discomfort at night. I m hoping that even this goes away as time goes on. I'll definitely be ordering again. No doubt what other reviewers say about the size and dryness on the pills, but fortunately they don't have much taste, as it does take me a few tries to get them down.

These are a good deal for the price. They are HUGE, in both length and thickness. I’m used to horse pills but if you don’t, don’t buy these.

With this type of supplement, I typically take a couple months break from it between bottles. I forgot I had it. Then I had an ongoing painful shoulder issue. After speaking with my MD, she agreed that taking it would be a good idea. It really helped me recover faster. It may not work for everyone. I'm very pleased; it seemed to be a catalyst for improvement. This is not like a pain reliever. It takes a couple of weeks for your body to assimilate before you will notice a change.

I have been taking this for a few months how and noticed over time that I was starting to feel much better with my joints and having fewer problems and less pain. I had already planned to continue taking this.Then my stepmom called to tell me my dad was in the hospital and I needed to get there. I initially planned to drive but had a gut feeling that I needed to fly (I'm glad I did).The unfortunate result of flying out that very day meant that I did not have proper time to pack. I flew in my pajamas...I tossed random clothes into a backpack...and left. I did not take ANY of my supplements with me.I was away from home for over a week and noticed after a couple days that I was in more and more pain by the day. By the time I came home I resorted to prescription pain meds to take the edge off of how bad it had gotten. I only had them because they were already in my bag from my last trip.For me, this supplement as well as the turmeric that I take daily means that I can function in my daily life without using prescription pain meds nearly as often. While I do still have some bad pain days...most of the time I do just fine without needing to take anything stronger.*Please note that most of this review is copied to the review for the turmeric that I take as well due to having the same thing to say about both products.

This product work! I have no joint pain ever, and I am a runner (40-50miles a week). Its easy to swallow so I don't have to worry about having a pill sitting in my throat all day. It's pretty much flavorless even if I do taste it. However, take then with food and take them separately. This had been the most effective and comfortable way for me to ingest them. I continue to order these because they're effective and great for the price.

First off, these are big horse pills, just to warn those of you who can't swallow Vigor pills. Secondly, these unfortunately don't alleviate the pain in my joints as well as the other glucosamine chondroitin supplement that I was taking before. I decided to try these ones because you got a lot more pills and they were cheaper. But I'm unfortunately going to have to switch back to my old brand after this bottle. I didn't feel pain in my knees anymore when I worked out with the old supplement. But the pain is back. It's not as bad as it would be if I wasn't taking the supplement, but it's noticeably back.
