• Review: My father, mother, and mother in law are having problems with their knees.
  
  They have been using Glucosamine HCl Chondroitin Sulfate for at least three years now and their knees flexibility improved significantly. My father is 65 years old now and he is the most beneficial of this product, he can bend, walk, and move around without any problem. My Mother can now walk and move around great but still have difficulties bending her knee but overall she is very satisfied with the product. My mother in law just started using it for the last 6 months and she is feeling better but still she is getting some difficulties moving around.
  
  In general this supplement is truly support your knees and will improve your health.
  
  I do recommend this product to anyone who has any complications with the knees.
  
  CUATION: If you are allergic to shellfish, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.

• Review: I was a runner for over 25 years. I raced a lot including 11 marathons. I'd estimate that I've put in enough running miles to have run around the world at the equator, if that was physically possible.
  
  In any case, I've had very few problems with running injuries. Perhaps the one big exception is recurring sore ankles in my later years. At one point, they were sore enough that I not only had to stop running, I was having trouble walking. At that point I started using a product called "Joint Juice," and I experienced a bit of relief. I didn't go back to running, however. I was discussing the situation with a friend and he said that "Joint Juice" contained only glucosamine and that I needed a product containing both glucosamine and chondroitin. My friend is very knowledgeable about endurance sports and associated overuse injuries, I should add.
  
  So, I picked up a large bottle of Kirkland Signature Extra Strength Glucosamine and Chondroitin tablets. I chose the Kirkland product because it was highly rated and available at a reasonable price. I'd say my ankles are now much better. Much better! They're so much better, in fact, that I'm now considering going into training for 5K and, eventually, 10K runs. Perhaps I might add that I'm 73 years old and I'd love to get back to racing.

• Review: I know it should take months before one sees results, but within half an hour, my pain level was down far enough that I could walk without a cane and without a limp. I've been taking it over three months now and I am nearly pain free. Drastically reduce the amount of pain medication I take. Splitting the pills in half makes them easier to swallow.

• Review: First, I understand that this is just one report; you need to have a real well-designed double-blind test to have any sort of proof, but...I have had a lot of problem with my lower back because of deteriorating joints. My doctor suggest that I try out this compound. Kirkland was rated tops for getting the right amount of active ingredient etc in Consumer Reports, so I tried a bottle. After several months, my back is noticably better. Could be a coincidence, but I don't think so.
  
  As to the product itself, as someone else commented, the pills are pretty big. Remember that you need to take 2 per day to get the recommended dose. Oddly, they smell a bit like chocolate. Not bad!

• Review: Don't know if it works on joints yet - only been taking it a few weeks. But order process and delivery through amazon was excellent.
