When I bought these I thought I did not have any joint issues. I think I was wrong. I began squatting again in May of 2013. I hate squats but I like to be overall fit vs just portions of my body. Squats hit a lot of muscle groups. So I do them. My left knee would hurt afterward. Nothing too terrible but definitely noticeable. I realized years ago that when I get out of my car I put a larger portion of my 205 pounds on my left knee which results in very slight pain from time to time so I thought nothing of it. I bought this product more so for maintenance than cures.
I've been taking this product for about a week. I did squats today and my knees actually felt better so I decided to push some additional weight today. My knees held their ground. They do have a very dull pain as I type this review. Considering the additional weight I pushed I expected to have a sharper pain typically on the left side of my left knee but it is more of a very dull pain around the general area of both knees which I would have expected to feel 20 years ago.
This product is not a miracle cure nor snake oil. It simply performs as advertised. Nothing more and nothing less. Any product that does what the manufacturer claims it can do will always get at least four stars from me. I chose to up the rating to five stars due to the quick results I received. I hate getting old but it sure does beat the alternative. lol. Thanks to supplements such as these I can maintain a better level of fitness which adds to my quality of life.
I also highly recommend supplementing with Taurine and with LongJack 200:1. LongJack has taken my body and stamina back in time (about 10 years). Taurine is literarily a miracle in a bottle and it costs so little to purchase. Research Taurine if you are over 35 to see exactly what it is and all of the published studies proving exactly what it can do for you. There are too many benefits to list. Every human being over 40 should be taking Taurine. BTW, LongJack does not help you produce testosterone. It creates more free testosterone that has already been produced in your body. Captured (or bonded) testosterone doesn't appear to perform it's job. It mainly takes up space in your blood stream (compared to free T). LongJack prevents more of your T from getting captured (bonding). In a week or two you will absolutely know it is working for you if you are 35 or older. I knew the very first day and this is absolutely true. Now, back to this product...
ABOUT THE FOUR PILL DOSAGE (it's a good thing vs a drawback and here is why)
Far too often people assume that they have to have the entire suggested daily dose of something to work for them. Actually, the wise approach is to seek the lowest dose that will work for you. So where it suggests four pills per day for 1500mg I hope many people will eventually be able to drop down to only taking one or two pills at 375 mg or 750mg to get the results they need. Saves you money but more importantly it potentially means less stress on your digestive system, liver, and kidneys to filter out the overage.
Rather than being stuck with only two daily options now you have four. Those four daily options are; 1500mg (4 pills), 1125mg (3pills), 750mg (2 pills), and 375mg (1 pill).
As a 48 year old male with what feels like good joints I plan to start off with 3 pills the first week, and then 2 pills from then on. Since I have no symptoms I see no need to start at the full dose. I may even experiment with only takin 1 pill a day. In a decade I may eventually have to increase to the full dosage.
So now consider taking 1500mg for the first week or two followed by 1125mg for two weeks followed by 750mg for two weeks and then only 375mg OR 750mg per day from that point forward just to maintain the levels you achieved during the first four to six weeks. If your issues decreased after four to six weeks from the higher dose then return later on the lower dose (let's say at 375mg), I consider going back to 1500 mg for a few days until the issue decreases again then trying 750mg per day to see if that works. The goal is to find the lowest dosage that produces the same result rather than assuming you need the full dose every day.
Thanks to these being in four 375mg dose pills you can better customize the right amount for you. 1500mg per day is a maximum value. Most people will not need to consume the maximum value to maintain their level of comfort. So now you can save money because the bottle lasts longer AND you also reduce the amount of additional daily stress on your digestive system, (and possibly) your liver, and kidneys.
So people who complain about four pills for the maximum dose may not have thought about the actual benefit for their wallet and their digestive system this four pill format offers. One size (dose) never fits all. I hope this product (or one like it) delivers for you like I has for me.

Great supplement for my joints!
I'm a active healthy female in my early 30s and I don't have major joint problems. But I workout regularly, I enjoy long hikes and runs. My knees started to `feel it` and I purchased this Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM supplement to see if it can help my joints.The effects of this supplement needed 7-10 days to really kick-in, but it works for me! The main benefit is an overall joint comfort; I don't feel my knees hurt after a run or a leg day (with weights involved). I get less stiffness, less knee `popping` and more flexibility; I feel my workouts have been improved. I have to continuously use this supplement to see results; once I stop the treatment, I can definitely feel it.The `Vitamin C` is just an added bonus, as this vitamin is always great to supplement during the day to sustain the body.The pills are `regular` size, I have no issues with them. I always take them with food and I didn't noticed any reflux, bad breath or stomach issues.I got the 240 capsules tube which is huge and will last me a long time. I personally started the dosage with 3 pills per day, but I cut down to 2 per day when I'm not doing strenuous activities; I'm a small female and I do need less dosage; I also spread the dosage through the day, taking just one pill at the time. I think that with this kind of supplement you need to find the dosage that works for your body weight and health concerns.
