On our Subscribe & Save- for myself & my dogs as a high quality product at an economical price.Really like the Schiff brand- high quality & product solubility.No unabsorbable oyster shell residues here- offers a finely pulverized absorbable product.(Quick glucosamine test- add tabs to ~ 1/2 warm water and wait 30 minutes. Whatever is not dissolved is what you'll generally pass out through your GI tract - flushing your money. The Schiff product dissolves completely- is available for absorption.)3 tabs/1500 mg means 500 mg/tab - makes it easier to dose my pets at appropriate levels.(It's trickier to do so if you use the 2 tabs/1500 mg tablets.)(NB:DO consult your vet prior to giving to your dogs.

If you DECIDE to act, based on the insights presented, YOU assume 100% responsibility/liability, without recourse, for any / all outcomes. In using this product and insights, you and you alone are responsible for yourself and your actions and outcomes!).I gave it to our 16 year old terrier (~ 25 lb) - one tablet per day- with the idea that it may help.(NB: used loading dose of 2 tabs/day for two weeks, then one tab/day- as glucosamine/MSM is absorbable by other tissues, & the loading dose is required for saturation so that a clinical level is then available for body use for joints, etc.)It was the only variable, and she wasn't reading Amazon reviews, so we figure that it was a fair test.Before receiving it: hid behind couch, didn't participate in 'reindeer games' of other dogs (who were 10 years younger).After ~ 1 bottle (really sooner- about 1.5 months of administration): she was out with the pack, supervising them, and was jumping ONTO the couch without assistance (surprising me!)Worked for her, works for us.We ALL take it- three tabs/day for humans, 1 tab /day for medium dogs ((25-30 lbs), 2 tabs/day for larger dogs (greater than 30 lbs).For larger dogs (>100 lbs) - ask your vet for dosages appropriate.DO consult your vet before giving this product to your pets!

My 90 year old father who is limping but still working hard uses this supplement at double the dosage for reducing his pain caused by his metal hip replacement.My father is a big advocate of natural supplements, but I rarely find a supplement that delivers significant results.This blend of Glucosamine 1500mg Plus MSM and Hyaluronic Acid seems to produce a much better results in reducing pain than other formulas I have ordered. Since we purchased many brands in the past, it appears the MSM must be playing a big role in the reduction of the pain.Perhaps this review might help anyone who may be suffering from hip pain, especially with an artificial hip (he had the hip surgery over 20+ years ago).Three big tips we have fortunately discovered for helping our elderly father in dealing with the pains and aches of old age:1) Needs to be used daily for over 30 days.2) Depending on pain, dosage may need to increased. My father 's dosage is doubled, before he got pain relief.3) He also takes Life Extension Super Bio Curcumin Bcm-95 400 mg Capsules for his muscular aches and pains, especially his neck pains. (Combining this with Schiff Glucosamine 1500mg Plus MSM and Hyaluronic Acid has produced wonderful results in using them daily for this last year (2018).So far, these are the only two products we have found that really do work for my elderly father!(Schiff Glucosamine 1500mg Plus MSM and Hyaluronic Acid +Life Extension Super Bio Curcumin Bcm-95 400 mg )I will update this review if we find any other supplements that are helping our elderly father. (so far these are the only two supplements that have actually worked ! )My father is reporting that it has reduced his pain by 70-80%, which is quite remarkable!This would be a much better alternative than pain pills!Doing a search with keywords ="hip pain" or "knee pain" +"Glucosamine" +"MSM" .There appears to be significant positive research."Glucosamine is believed to help slow deterioration of cartilage, relieve arthritis joint pain, and improve joint mobility."

I've been working out consistently for the last few years but recently, in a fit of inspired motivation, I started doing CrossFit. Ouch. It's a really great workout but my joints have been feeling pretty achey due to some old injuries, and I've been looking for a way to alleviate the pain.A friend recommended taking glucosamine supplements to help with the pain, so I found schiff in an ad and did some research. Looked like a good product, so I ordered some online and started taking it. Wow. It's helping me in a major way. The pain subsided quite a great deal, but still feeling achey I decided to get something topical to supplement the supplements, if you will. I went with, a topical ointment that a buddy of mine uses after he works out. After a week of using both, I've seen major improvements in the way my body is moving and feeling.The Schiff works great as a duller of the pain internally, and the Thermachill is great for at first warming the painful area, and then cooling it so that the pain subsides. I throw the Thermachill on right after working out, and I barely feel anything later. I'm really satisfied with the Schiff, I give it five stars, but for people with old injuries it may help to add a topical ointment in the mix to see the best results.

I have Bursitis and Arthritis pains in my knee joint and was told by my therapist and doctors to use Glucosamine. In order to save money I had to do my research and buy a brand that works. I was highly recommended this Schiff brand as its well known and trusted. Takes several months to build up in your body so you have to be patient with this stuff. Recommended dosage is 3 pills. So I spread them out during the day or by mealtimes. They definitely work, but does not eliminate all pain if you have major issues. Otherwise, its a good supplement and will reduce minor inflammation in your joints. Well worth the cost.If you found this review helpful, kindly vote below so I may improve future reviews such as these.

My GSD is going on 8 years old, and is active and trying to run with the pup. Maybe very early arthritis or just wear and tear on his hips, he was getting up and down pretty gingerly as of late after goofing off out back with the 2 year old Belgian Malnois.I started him on just TWO of these a day after his meal in the AM (dosage per bottle is 3), and just stick them on the end of a knife I use to get a little cheap peanut butter out of the container. Dogs could care less if you use the expensive PB. HA! Get a little glob of peanut butter on the end of the knife, and push 2 of these into that, whole. With a small dog maybe one at a time?? Just slick em off with your finger and the pills you stuck into the peanut butter stays put very well. I just put my finger into the dogs mouth and rub on the upper teeth on the way out. He now is anxious for his pills and is VERY cooperative and takes them soooooooo easily. I just stick that peanut butter jar with the remaining bit of peanut butter on a pot and pan shelf and use again, as-is. It NEVER grows bacteria so you do not have to wash it but every 3-4 weeks. Keep the peanut butter lid on of course. Then wipe your finger tip on a paper towel or let the other dog lick the remaining peanut butter off, rinse finger and you are DONE!! This is soooo easy to do, I do not understand why people go to all kinds of trouble to get their dogs to take pills. The dogs LOVE this method, quickly adapt and is much nicer for them than sticking your finger half way down their throat! They think it's a TREAT!! Perfect!Here is the good part, the 105 pound (not fat, just big) GSD feels much better. Takes about 2-3 weeks for the benefit to start, though your or your dogs mileage may vary. I try not to miss a day. He is getting up and down much more comfortably. As his hips worsen with age, at some point I will use 3 tabs per day. Do NOT spend megabucks buying your Vets "so-called special" glucosamine stuff. Try this first.About 18 months ago, a major magazine with a lab that reviews things tested 20 different brands of this "type" of product. To their surprise, many of the tested items have very little active ingredients in them at all, or not anywhere near what they advertised, and were basically a waste of money. These are NOT FDA tested, as none of the glucosamine type products are, as they are in the supplement category. I don't recall this Schiff brand being one of the tested ones, but my dog has tested them, and he knows nothing about a placebo effect. He feels much better, which makes me feel better. Being as I see undeniable positive effect with my dog, I can see no reason it isn't worth trying for a human with hip, knee, or other joint problems.But be aware as the nice magazine warned us, many of these products, sometimes by BIG companies with lots of expensive ads everywhere, are sub-par products in reality with marginal active ingredient in them. This one works!!!! The big store has em too if you want to pay tax on em. I prefer to buy them here.By the way, delivery was FAST!!! Stock up b4 the word gets out and the price goes up. Excellent shelf life too. I don't write this positive nor long of a review unless I believe in what I am saying. Woof.
