Zenwise Health Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM - Joint Supplement - 90 Count

7/27/2018 Update. I am now ten months post knee replacement surgery. I am not taking any Joint Support supplement, and my knee feels good. I walk 1.5 to 2 miles per day with no joint pain. My other joints checked out fine. I turn 65 this year, so there is still plenty of time for other things to go wrong! I will keep Joint Support in mind if I ever have a need for it. Good combination of products that reduced my pain. 12/23/17 Update: I had my total knee replacement surgery about three months ago. I believe that if I had not used Joint Support I would have had the surgery two years ago. Am I happy with the outcome of the surgery? I think so. At least there is no more arthritic pain. I am only a few months post surgery so I am not yet fully recovered. But things are going very well. I am looking forward to hiking again. At least Joint Support gave me several more years before I had to get the surgery down. I appreciate that. 7/16/2017 Another update. Joint Support worked until just recently. My left knee (the one that they removed the cartilage in high school) is officially shot. The pain in that knee is really bad now. I will be having surgery next month to replace that joint. Joint Support helped me get a couple more years out of that knee before it needed to be replaced. 12/29/2016 Just wanted to give an update. I have been taking Joint Support for over a year now. My joint pain is considerably less than it was before I started taking Joint Support. There are occasions when my knee joints hurt; when I go on a long walk (over 2 miles) over rough terrain, longer walks over flat surfaces. Due to the knee surgery I had in high school (1968) the joint is bone-on-bone. I believe that this problem is causing much of the pain that I get on long walks. Joint Support has helped me considerably with everyday joint pain. 2/15/2016 Zenwise has listened. After they increased their price dramatically I, and I assume others, wrote emails to Zenwise customer service complaining about the price hike. Within one week of writing Zenwise dropped their price to a reasonable level. It is satisfying to see that a company is so responsive. I have little to no pain in my knees anymore. My left knee has no cartilage, just bone-on-bone, from a knee injury in the late '60s. Also, both knees have arthritic deposits on the back of the kneecaps. I endured intense pain which kept me up at night even after taking 800mg of ibuprofen. My pain was so bad that I was ready to have knee replacement surgery. I went to a store and saw a Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement for dogs on the pet aisle. I figured that if it works on dogs then maybe this old dog should give it a try. I researched several supplements and ingredients until I found Zenwise Joint Supplement. I bought a bottle and noticed that I didn't have much pain after two weeks. After one to two months I was virtually pain free. I do get some pain when I go hiking for long periods or when I walk over uneven ground. But, Any pain that I do have is greatly reduced from what I had experienced. I am putting off any knee replacement indefinitely. I am able to walk without any significant pain and I use very few pain killers. I think that the combination of ingredients is ideal for my situation. Joint Supplement isn't for everyone. I believe that those with muscle or ligament caused pain may not benefit as much as those with bone caused pain. For me, this supplement has been amazing. I am not one to normally use supplements. But, I thought that it is affordable enough to give it a try for two months. This was in September 2015 when the price per bottle was $17.95 for a two month supply. Five months later I am still virtually pain free and feel that the price currently charged by Zenwise is appropriate for how well it works. I applaud Zenwise for listening to their customers and revisiting their original philosophy of providing the best product for an affordable price. Original posting 12/4/2015 I am totally pissed off with Zenwise Labs. I would give this supplement five stars for how well it works for me, but I have decided to give it one star because of how the company has evidently decided to price gouge its customers. I started taking the Joint Support supplement in June when the price was $17.95. I bought several bottles when I found that it works extremely well for me. I used to have a lot of pain in my knees from having my meniscus removed in high school and having arthritic deposits on the back of my knee caps. I was seriously thinking about having knee replacement surgery next year because the pain was so bad. After taking Joint Support for 4 weeks I was virtually pain free. I felt that I had finally found a supplement that works well and is affordable. I just got on Amazon to buy some more Joint Support and found that the price has been raised by almost three times what I paid in June (from $17.95 to $44.95), AND they cut the amount of Hyaluronic Acid in half as well. I even recommended this product to friends and family; and they bought it because of my recommendation. I am sure that the components have not increased significantly in price. So the only thing that I can assume is that Zenwise Labs have dollar signs in their eyes. They could sell this product all day long at $20 a bottle, and I am sure that they would be making a decent profit. If the price remains the same I will be looking for an alternative. And, I will be telling my friends, family and Amazon.com customers to do the same. UPDATE: 12/5/2015 I received a response from Zenwise this morning. They said, "Our product prices are subject to fluctuation based off demand. Due to this, there was a price change for our Joint Support Supplement." On their web page that tells about the Zenwise story they state, "Zenwise Lab's began as a local business based in sunny Orlando, Florida by a dedicated team with an unwavering passion to provide safe, superior, and AFFORDABLE SUPPLEMENTS that help men and women of all ages lead healthier and happier lifestyles." I guess that Zenwise is the one that is determining what is affordable for the rest of us. Sales is a two way street. If the company makes a great product (as Zenwise Labs has with Joint Support) then demand will go up. They should be rewarded for producing something that works by raising their prices modestly. When customers perceive that they are being taken advantage of by the "greedy corporate wonks" we will look elsewhere for an acceptable substitute from a company that realizes that they can't profit by appearing greedy. I like the Joint Support product. It has done wonders for the pain in my knees. I would continue to buy this supplement if it were a reasonable price. However, Zenwise is not the only game in town, and I will look elsewhere for an affordable alternative until Zenwise lowers is price substantially.

THE BEST JOINT SUPPLEMENT EVER! All the important and best ingredients for joint health in 1 very affordable supplement! yes the pills are big, deal with it, it's worth it! I am a 66 year old active woman who has been living with RA for many years now. I refuse to take the toxic medications for RA and have been experimenting with the natural route for many years, supplements, vitamins, diet etc. What has worked best for me is a low carb high protein natural diet, avoiding sugar, gluten and corn (difficult!), high dose vitamin D3, regular exercise and keeping my weight down, and taking this supplement regularly. I also moved to a warm dry climate (Arizona) and that has helped too. I recently switched to a different supplement for an experiment (it didn't have the glucosamine or MSM in it), around the same time I was recovering from foot surgery, and it was a disaster! So inflamed for 3 months, couldn't exercise at all- I'm sure this was the result of many factors but it wasn't fun. So I am back to taking this, and starting to improve- hoping I can continue hiking and riding horses for many more years! Hope they never stop making this!

I took one pill a day in the mornings for less than a week but still experienced dizziness, headache, along with vision and balance issues even on this low of a dosage. I have experience similar side effects when I tried collagen supllements as well so this joint supplement and collagen are not going to work with my body chemistry. All side effects resolved after stopping supplement. Reading the reviews I did not find mention of these side effects so I am very likely the rate case in which these supplements may work but the side effects are not worth the results. The pain in my right knee did feel lessened though. For those rare few that may not tolerate this joint support or collagen supplements, try a bone broth supplement or homemade bone broth as it seems to help my joints and my mental attitude without any of the side effects experienced using the two aforementioned supplements. I use beef bones only and tried it after making it for my dogs to promote their health. I am currently trying Precision Naturals concentrated bone broth supplement and so far so good https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X9QRLJM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Zenwise customer service is very responsive and friendly, I opted to try their green tea extract rather than receive a full refund, as they do offer a 100% money back guarantee and stand behind their guarantee. 5 stars customer service, 4 stars as product works but just not worth the side effects for me, everyone else will likely see results without side effects.

Okay, I've never written a product review before but since this supplement has changed my life I feel I need to tell everyone. I also know that different things work for different people so don't give up trying to find what works for you. Over a year ago I tore the meniscus in my left knee. It was a small tear but painful. I developed a baker's cyst and long story short, the cyst ruptured and I ended up in ER unable to put any weight on that leg. I was sent to an orthopedic surgeon diagnosed the cyst, the tear and mild arthritis. He gave me a shot of cortisone and got me mobile again. I was out of state so the goal was to get me home. I left his office with no instructions to get into physical therapy when I returned home to rebuild strength and mobility so I stayed off it as much as possible. Little did I know that was only making things worse. Three weeks later I was back in agony so ended up seeing another surgeon who sent me to PT for several months. I got back on my feet but still had much stiffness and pain with limited mobility. Then just as I was moving back to health, I fell and injured my other knee. So I was back to square one but now with both knees. I was not ready for surgery emotionally or physically. My physical therapist recommended glucosamine and collagen in addition to PT, so I started researching and learned about the importance of using glucosamine along with Hyaluronic Acid. After trying several very expensive and ineffective products I found myself reading the reviews of Joint Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM complex. I read them all and because of the many testimonials I decided to try. Several reviewers had said to give the supplement 3 weeks to work. I was in such misery I honestly thought I would have to suffer the rest of my life, but at around 2 weeks I noticed a remarkable difference - ease at getting up and down, no pain when walking. At three weeks I had no pain and much less stiffness. Now at over 3 months of using this product, I am still pain free. I am even doing stairs again. I know it's important to keep moving and now with JGC MSM I can!

Ingredients at levels you won't find in the others: - Glucosamine Sulfate - 1500 mg. - You don't want Glucosamine Hydrochloride - Chondroitin Sulfate - 1000 mg. - Many have much less than this. - MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) - 1000 mg. - Good luck finding another one with that much of it - Boswellia (serrata) - 100 mg. - Anti-inflammatory - Curcumin (Curcuma longa) - 100 mg. - reduce osteoarthritis pain and blood cholesterol - Hyaluronic Acid - 25 mg. - It acts as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and other tissues. It is found in the highest concentrations in fluids in the eyes and joints. The FDA has approved the use of hyaluronic acid during certain eye surgeries including cataract removal, corneal transplantation, and repair of a detached retina and other eye injuries. It is injected into the eye during the procedure to help replace natural fluids. The FDA has also approved the use of hyaluronic acid for injection into the knee for patients with knee osteoarthritis. Complaints: While customer approval rating is very high, (4 star + 5 star = 83%) if you check the complaints from the 4 star reviews down to the 1 stars, by far most of the dings to the score come from the size of the pills making them difficult to swallow, and having to take 3 of them, not its effectiveness. I am very prone to getting things painfully stuck 1/2 way down myself. I used to split them, crush them, etc., but I learned if I take them one at a time while drinking and waiting until they get to the bottom before taking the next one, I don't have a problem. Yes, they are big, but the ingredient list is also like none other, and you can't put 4 lbs. of stuff in a 2 lb. box. Effectiveness: I've been running 12.6 miles 5-6 days a week for many decades and known by many as the runner guy. 3 decades ago I couldn't walk very far because my knee cartilage was ruined and I needed operations. I liked to run and that would be the end of that and I'd be on a slow path to knee replacements. I tried mind-over-matter and only ended up stranding myself a block and a half from home. I did what it said in James 5 in the Bible. It was instant. I was ecstatic, terrified, and afraid of people who knew my situation asking how I could be running again, so not exactly what you would call a pillar of faith. I no longer needed operations, and when I have joint pain, the constant is it is never my knees, it is hips or heels that cause me to drop out of my routine. It's always because I let myself get heavy. My theory is, when I get 25 to 50 lbs. overweight, my muscles can't act as springs and I hammer my joints. I'll take this for 1-2 months, the pain will go away, I'll be able to build myself up and get my diet and weight where it belongs. If I don't take this, I get nowhere until I do. After this, I'll forget about using it, and I'm good for another year or two or three until I drift back into self-deception of a little doesn't hurt and then it drifts into crazy. I have two sets of clothes. I don't have the excuse that get heavy easily, I worked at it. People tell me I carry it well if I tell them how heavy I am, or I look fine like I am, but it doesn't do me any good. It's like running with a 25 or 45 lb. plate from the gym. There are conflicting opinions of whether or not this works. All I can say is it works for me. Some mockingly say it is placebo effect. If that's true, it sure takes a long time to kick in, as in 3-4 weeks usually, and sometimes twice that if I'm closer to 50 lbs heavy. Placebo effect also doesn't explain why after I stop taking it, I'm good for more than a year without it. I have been taking it again, so you know where I'm at. I'm still about 20 lbs from where I need to be, some of my thin clothes fit again, and I ran out of pills, so I was here to reorder. I decided to write this review because I haven't before, and someone might be on the fence whether to try it or not and might benefit from my homework and experience.

I am an aging athlete and my knees kill me every single day! I went to a surgeon who told me that that only solution was to get knee replacements, but that I was far too young (51) and way too active. He said I'd wear the new knees out in a few years with the level of activity that I engage in and instead, he said I should lose 30 pounds (probably a good idea) and be proactive with treatment, meaning that I should ice the knees often, stretch more, and do more low impact activity. He also said I should get serious about my diet and eat like a vegan and take some kind of Joint Support. So, I'm doing all he said. My weight is down to 205 (from 225) and I've been taking this supplement for 2 months now. I can't say with 100% certainty that it is helping my knee pain. I really can't. I emailed the company and they suggested that I take 2 in the morning and 1 at night. I usually exercise in the morning, and every day, without fail, my knees absolutely ache- but I plow through it and am hoping that when my weight is down to 185 that I'll at least be in less pain. So do they help? I don't notice any difference after I take them or before. My knees always ache. But with all due respect, maybe my knees are at the level that even this product can't help! The company told me that I could take this product long term, but that some people build up an immunity or resistance to it, so I was planning on discontinuing it when I get to 185 pounds and then to see if I actually notice anything. I'm going to commit up to that point for sure. Everything I've read says that this kind of stuff really helps, but I just can't in all honesty say that I notice much if any difference.

I have read that glucosamine and chondroitin are ingredients that occur naturally in and around the cartilage of the joints. And that the glucosamine in your body helps to keep your cartilage healthy. However, as you get older, your levels of this compound begin to drop, which can lead to the gradual breakdown of the joint. In my family we are very physically active and my older relatives have had a lot of knee cartilage issues as well as arthritis in other joints in the body. As I am getting older, I recognize that my body won't heal itself as quickly and I've used Glucosamine/Chondroitin on and off for years. I am of the opinion that my joints will benefit more from a preventative use of this product than if I waited until I had no cartilage left in my knees. I have read that if you still have cartilage that this product can help to rebuild new cartilage, however if your knees are bone on bone (like my mother) you cannot rebuild cartilage and so this product is far less effective. When I suggest this product to my mother, she does find it helps slightly, however with bone on bone she inevitably gets water on the knee, inflammation and a slew of issues that even this product cannot resolve. I on the other hand experience the occasional knee pain, from skiing moguls or running hills and find that this product helps to keep my knees feeling pain-free and hopefully helping to keep my cartilage strong yet rubbery. In order to obtain the 1500mg you have to take 3 pills a day, I like to take them spread out through out the day in hopes that my body has a better chance of absorbing the minerals than if I were to take them all at once. They are pretty big pills, I take them with water, I haven't noticed any negative side effects from taking this product. Also note, that I do not take any other medications, as I have read that this product can negatively react with some medications. Overall, I am very happy with this product and have no complaints. While I received this product at a discount, all opinions in this review remain my own.

As always I am skeptical of new things, especially supplements. THIS ONE is absolutely on target. My job is mostly sitting. And then I'm sitting in the car going to and from work. Then I'm sitting while I talk to my husband before he goes to work--you get it, LOTS of sitting. My left hip started bothering me to the point that when I stood up, I had to just wait there so my hip would get the idea it was supposed to do something. That first step hurt like the devil! Each subsequent step would get easier, but it never went away. Climbing the stairs to our apartment was torture. Short story long, I saw that this supplement had MSM. This is a really good supplement that helps with joints. You mix it with water, and try to choke it down without vomiting. (shudder) Like eating a handful of acetaminophen with no rinse. Just horrible. I was so desperate for relief I drank the stuff for like a month or less-probably less. I've tried DMSO to that area of the hip, I've tried therapeutic exercises. But I bought a bottle of this hoping for the best. I figured if the MSM was in pill form it would be much easier to swallow. Tip: When you are to take more than 1 of these, do so one at a time, with some form of soft food, applesauce, pudding, oatmeal, etc. just to push it down. Because these pills are enormous!! But you know what, I absolutely don't care. The effects are more than worth it. I actually take more than 3 pills a day and so far, no ill effects. Give your body time to react to this med and begin to heal your stiff joints, like a month or so. I am so thankful for this med, and it's worth every penny!!

Good

Ya tengo el producto en mis manos, me parece excelente el producto, tengo dolores articulares y estoy casi seguro que funcionará muy bien este suplemento

La mayoría comenta que es una pastilla grande, y realmente lo es...pero nada que uno no pueda solucionarlos (actualmente queremos todo a nuestra demanda) La 1a ocasión intenté pasarla y completa, y si se siente esa sensación extraña durante su trayecto de la faringe y esófago, logre solucionarlo fácilmente rompiendo la tableta y listo, todo mejoró. Por otro lado, es de los pocos productos que ofrecen la dosis correcta.

No notado su efectividad después de consumirlo.
