Any body using this for joint pain relief? Old knee is starting to ache more and more.
Let me know any positives, negatives and side effects.
Thank in advance!

Started using 15yrs ago for chronic lower back pain that doctors and chiropractor couldn't help with(except risky surgery). If I moved wrong my nerves pinched and I could barely get off the floor for till it loosened up. Take with fish oil pills daily and still have some pain but have but rarely have nerve attacks anymore. Has improved my life greatly. No bad side affects that I have heard from Doc. Not as expensive as prescription meds. It took awhile to help I say try for a month or so and see.

My grandad swore by it. That’s about all I know about it

I use it for my knees I guess about 10 years now. It does great for me.

My experience is like drake. Not an over night pain relief. You probably won't even feel the relief. Long term rebuild type of help. I took it every day for a dozen of years or more, now probably three times a week. For my back mostly. That and exercise on the floor with tennis balls every morning to replace the chiropractor..

If it helps your knee and/or your mind, go for it.

I once saw an orthopedic surgeon who gave me a series of three injections in a bad knee, two weeks apart. I had an elk trip planned with my son. Doc said the synthetic synovium had a 50% relief rate, the exact same as the placebo, but insurance paid for it. It was about this time of year and too close to our October elk hunt for a knee replacement. I did it and it worked. Knee was better for two years. Went back two years later and we repeated the procedure, but with no relief. Had the knee replaced and that is a long story I won't bore you with again. Got infected in hospital.

The problem with your medicine is that the FDA does not regulate it. There are no quality standards and no dosage standards. You have no idea what you are buying or the quality of the product. Some say it works for them, and some have tried it and given up. I gave it to my dog for years.

Get out the popcorn.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think if you have a shellfish allergy you should not take it.

My orthopedic surgeon recommended it. I use it. Not sure how much it helps but I haven't noticed any downside.

I have used it for many years. If I miss a day I pay! Bad knees.
I have tried several brands and have found only one that continues to work.
I purchase it at Puritan Pride on line. I take 3 tablets a day 2 in the morning and 1 at night works the best for me. Never have experienced any side effects!

I used it for bad knees helped me alot.

Make sure to get good quality. Not Walmart brand.

Hmmm I used it and saw no difference.
just

I take no less than 10 vitamins that help joints. Boron is one of the best. Also stop coffee and pop and eat well.

it never helped me, tried two different times

I take it and have been for years it does help me.

not sure of your age and condition but knee pain may mean you need to start a knee fitness program or it will just get worse..bodyweight can also be a big issue..

Yep..I used to give it to my horses and mules in a powder form sure helped them out..took the stiffness out of the joints and soft tissue

Everyone's body is a little bit different so it doesn't surprise me that chondroitin doesn't help certain people.

I drink joint juice daily . My knees are much better


From Costco

I Have taken 1500 milligrams for 12 years and my wife started about a year ago. It seems to help for me.
