  Packs ALOT into 5 capsules that are easy to swallow and have already helped me!

  I was VERY familiar with this type of product for animals. I watched my old horse go from limping everywhere to smoothly running around after a week of a loading dose with similar active ingredients. Fast forward many, many years and many successful recommendations to other people to try glucosamine PLUS Chondroiten Plus MSM for inflammation Plus HA hyaluronic acid to bump up the eqq white consistency of the joint's synovial fluid... I find myself in pain a year and a half after a bad car accident. Hips hurting when I walk very long and at night, relegating me to sleeping on my back-also suffering from pain in my hands, neck, shoulder, mid back, thighs, thumb, even my feet. It's worse when it's cold and rainy. I'm just over 50 so I seem to be healing so slowly--even though there is and was a lot to heal... I decided to try supplementing-- Covid has me staying at home most of the time and not doing all the physical therapy and chiropractor etc I was, so my regimen is down to home work: infrared, red light, whole body vibration, mediation, fasting, assigned PT exercises and gentle pilates stretches & strengthening. I decided to add this to my repertoire. I also decided to do a LOADING dose for one week which is double the dose for the first week-most every animal product like this recommends this loading dose week at first. I drink almost a gallon of water every day so I figure that will help with things. I take 5 in the morning and 5 in the evening--this type of product always has a ton of pills to take and I do appreciate that they are smaller and easier to swallow than some pills I've had in the past. I'm on day 3 of a loading dose and already noticing a difference in my hips at night and some improvement when I go to stand up from sitting-not creaking and popping & stiff like normal. I usually roll over in my sleep and some time later wake up from extreme pain because I'm laying on my side. (from multiple fractures in my pelvis). I go back to sleep on my back and wake up again once I have rolled over. Well, that didn't happen last night. Normally, I wake up in the mornings and hurt so badly I will put my bed into Zero Gravity position to drink my coffee and wait for the aches to subside before getting up for the day. I'm writing a review so soon after purchase because I had no idea if this would help me and figured I'd need a week of a loading dose before I'd see any results just like my old horse did--not 3 days! I'm VERY happy with the results and have not done any other thing different. I hope the results last and help me heal more. I plan to only take the double dose until my week is up and then split up the 5 pills- morning and evening. It'd be excellent if it helped my skin, hair and nails, but I'd take pain relief first and foremost as living in consistent pain is plain ole wearisome. I miss going for walks with my husband and dog...

  Ten days in, it's looking promising

  A few years ago I started having multiple aches and pains in my feet that grew worse when I resumed running/walking every day. (I'm a 53yo woman.) I've had great success with glucosamine products with my aging pets, and as the months dragged by with no improvement in my feet I decided to give Doctor's Best a trial run.24 hours after the first dose, I noticed a difference, but that wasn't necessarily the supplement, since the pain does vary from day to day. Now, ten days in, I can definitely say the supplement is helping. I still have some pain in the joint at the outside edge of my right foot, but it's MUCH better than it used to be, and the myriad pains in both feet are mostly gone. I'm looking forward to seeing how things feel after a month!BTW, others have noted the size of the capsules. I find that the size tracks with that of other, similar nutraceuticals; these are coarser products -- essentially, food extracts -- than most pharmaceuticals. It takes a relatively large amount to get the job done. I actually have no problem downing multiple capsules at once, and I'm not a large person. I'd be willing to take each capsule individually, though, given the improvement I'm experiencing.

  TENDONITIS RELIEF, +nail & hair surprises

  Since collagen material in the body is what heals tendons I started taking this after suffering for 6 1/2 years with tendonitis in both shoulders and adductors. After 1 month I could totally feel some improvement & less pain - I know tendons heal slowly. I went on to heal (did need a torn rotator cuff surgery on one side) and have been tendonitis FREE for 7 years!!!Cartwheels! Happy Surprises: After 6 months of taking this product I realized my fingernails were healthier and not breaking quickly as they had my whole life, for me this was HUGE. Woohoo! Then at about 1 year, my thick brown, very long hair, which needed split ends trimmed every 6 months, seemed like steel! I couldn't believe it as I kept checking for split ends and there were hardly any to be found. I'm on autoship and plan to always take this product - I am so pleased with the results! My husband got tendonitis last year (we're in our 60's)and started taking this product too- he's now a regular user as he's seen results and less pain as well. TIP: Dosage is 5 capsules, I know...alot. Whenever I cut back I can tell the difference...so 5 is for a good reason. I personally take 2 each morning and 3 after dinner, it does not disturb my sleep like so many things do (I'm highly sensitive re: supplements, any small amt caffeine, eating after 6:30pm, all keeping me awake).WARNING - many Doctor's Best products look similar on the label - keep a sharp eye for the specific one that has these needed ingredients: BioCell Collagen II, Hyaluronic Acid, Glucosamine, & Cond + MSM
