I've had about 4 different people tell me this helps joint pain quite a bit after it has had a chance to get into a persons system in 7 to 10 days. Does anyone else have any experience with this drug? Has it worked well, and were there any noticed side effects?

About 15 years ago, I went to a doctor for knee pain, The doctor said i was a candidate for knee replacement but at the time i was too young. They don't like to do it too young because of the longevity of the artificial joint, they don't last (then) he turned me on to this drug and said that he's not actually even allowed to prescribe it as at the time it wasn't approved by the FDA but it could be sold as a health supplement in health stores. I picked up a bottle, took as directed 4 per day, after the 5th day my pain was completely gone!! I kept up the dosage but after about 2 weeks every joint in my body began to hurt.. specially my finger joints. I later found out that this drug continues to deposit in the joints, it doesn't know what joint to go to, it deposits in all joints, eventually they began to hurt. I cut back to one per day and i was fine with this for several years. Now today, it no longer works for me. I need to finally go for the replacement.
I believe it depends on how far along your joint degeneration is now. It doesn't work for everyone and i think this is the reason why. If your joints are bone to bone, it probably won't work.

I have never tried it. Omega 3 fatty acids(like Prmrose Oil or Salmon Oil help tremendiously with joint pain. Also try Gingerroot capsules from a heathfood store. Someone I know used the Gingerroot capsules and and was painfree.

It will depend on how bad your joints are,,there is very little you can do to grow cartilage back.I think that stuff would work if you started taking it before you got the pain,,it did not work for me,i now have had hip and knee replacement done..so for me it did not work..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

I can tell you for my dog it was extremely effective! It was the only thing that stopped him from limping. It also helped my father with his joint pain.
