ORPHIC NUTRITION Glucosamine Chondroiting MSM 2100MG (90 Caps) - Joint Support Supplement for Men & Women* - Supports Joint Cartilage & Mobility

I've taken glucosamine for a little over a year now, with little to no change in my condition. Before taking this matter up with my doctor and taking the next step (shots, physical therapy, surgery, etc), I decided to try another brand of glucosamine from a different seller to see if that would change.To be frank, I opted for Orphic mostly due to the price. Yet, once I read the ingredient list, I decided that it was worth a shot. I'd heard Turmeric worked to relieve inflammation and pain, and that sold me right there. As with any new supplement, I decided to give Orphic a 6 month trial run in order to give the product a fair assessment. One never knows how one's body will react right?Turns out, I didn't need the 6 months. I was barely at the 2 week mark when I began noticing the effects. Marked reduction in inflammation and pain, especially at night, marked reduction in the "rice krispie" crackling, marked reduction in incidents of bursitis (knee-popping and swelling), what used to be near-constant aches and pains are now practically non-existent even during inclement weather. All without taking the extra doses.Let me remind you, this is personal experience. It may be different for someone else. But, from what I could tell, this stuff rocks.

I have barely been able to turn my head for the past 2 years. I haven't been to a doctor for it, but my neck was so stiff that the slightest turn hurt. Bending it to pop my neck was impossible. The pain was excruciating. I decided to try this as a last resort, and I've finally got relief! My neck is still slightly stiff, but the pain is nearly gone, and my range of motion has gotten so much better. I also have bad hips and this has helped those as well. This is going to be a new staple in my daily supplements!Update: I put this on subscribe and save and have been taking it religiously for the past 6 months. My range of motion has returned to normal and the pain and stiffness is gone. I know it's awful to do, but I can finally pop my neck without pain, which is huge for me because I suffer from chronic migraines and popping my neck actually provides some relief from them, so this supplement has felt like a miracle for me. My hips still have problems during long walks or hiking, but the pain has improved some there as well, but I mostly started taking these in hopes of helping my neck pain, so for that it's been a win!

I have to say..I ordered this because my doctor told me I needed to start taking it. I honestly didn't expect much.Within 3 weeks, I've noticed that it's not nearly as difficult for me to stand up ( I was in serious painfrom my knees trying to get out of a chair or off the couch. The results are incredible!I will say this...I took a similar product a few years ago, and I quit because I felt bloated all the time. I don't feel bloated with this brand, but I do feel as if I've gained weight. I've seen nothing that states this is a side effect of taking glucosamine, so I'm guessing it's just something in my DNA.BUT in all serious, great product that does what is is supposed to! I give it 4 stars only because I'm a chunky monkey now. Lol

As a heavy guy who works in agriculture, my knees bear the brunt of my daily workload. I'm also a PhD student, so I'm also adept at analyzing research articles and seeing through the bunk and junk of marketing. Well, GC/MSM is one of those products that has a lot of anecdotal efficacy, but the literature doesn't really support the purported 'miracle panacea for joint pain' claims. That being said, I decided to try this product considering that at the very least, it couldn't hurt. Well, I can happily say that my sore knees actually do feel better having popped these pills for just over a week now. They were relatively easy to incorporate into my daily routine, not requiring any special 'take with a 3/4's empty stomach, don't lie down afterwards, avoid all grapefruit, ...' constraints, and despite the typical big pill size of supplements were easy to swallow. Flavorwise, fully neutral, and no off odors or peculiar tingling, moistening, or gumming sensation noticeable after ingestion. (Unlike my cinnamon pills, yikes!) I'm very satisfied with these pills, and whether or not it's from a true curative result or simply placebo effect, they are working to ease my strain and pain.

Thanks

Just started taking these . I’ve been told that it takes two to three months to notice any results. When I do notice an improvement I will make note of it and increase my star rating.
