Dr. Tobias Joint Support Supplement with Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM, Supports Joint Health, Function & Flexibility, Extra Strength Joint Suppleme...

I have been taking this for a few years and have it on subscription. It has been very helpful for my joints.

After much research, Dr. Tobias was rated very highly for its purity and actually containing the total amount of mg it advertises. Many products contain metals and other fillers that decrease the true amt of mg. MSM must be taken in the higher dose along with the glucosamine in order to be effective. Im grateful for the veggie caps or would not have been able to swallow tablets or hard caplets. Also, because of gastric issues and absorption into the body I take 2/morning, 2/afternoon and 1 in the early evening. Five caps a day and this is 48 days worth so its a good deal for the price. The first day, I took all 5 in the morning which resulted in upset stomach and a headache. Those can be side effects but once I spaced them out....no problem. Be sure and take with food. Its only been a week but I can tell its working in my bones/joints as the pain with movement is much less.

I honestly couldn't tell you if these Dr. Tobias MSM Glucosamine Chondroitin pills work better than any other brand; however, I can say that they seem to have the same size and weight as others I've tried. They are large, lightweight capsule pills that are easier to swallow than a heavier weight pill of a similar size, probably because I don't feel them as much as they go down. If you can't swallow pills well, then all glucosamine etc. supplements are likely to cause an issue. As to whether this kind of supplement works, I've found that it makes a slight difference in my knee joints, which get a lot of wear and tear from playing tennis. They aren't miracle pills, but they do seem to make a difference in as soon as a week. That said, I've had the same results with other brands. I bought these primarily because of the price at the same and the convenience of Prime. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

Hey! I should teach the kids tennis.....aching knee.....diagnosis....torn cartridge but not bad enough for surgery yet. I am not a big supplement person. However, with an aching knee, I came across the Dr. Tobias Hip, Knee, Joint and noticed the large number of great reviews. What the heck....lets try. I suffered knee pain for 6 weeks. After only 5-6 days of taking Dr. Tobias, knee pain gone ....FINALLY!. Wait, maybe the knee just stopped hurting on its own....so I stopped taking after a week of no pain. After a few days, the pain returns. Wait....maybe I just restrained it. I started Dr. Tobias again and 4 days or so later.....no knee pain. I am sold. I did not like the 5 pill a day dosage and a major big box had a sale on a joint supplement that includes 2 of the 3 active ingredients listed in Dr. Tobias. I decide to try that and save some money and only 2 pills per day. After several days, knee pain returns ...though on the mild side. Hummmm maybe Dr. Tobias has better absorption or that third ingredient is really important. Started taking Dr. Tobias again.....no knee pain at all. I am sold! This stuff is amazing.

This joint supplement worked quickly to my surprise, I actually noticed a difference the next day. I used to take Chondroitin, Glucosamine & MSM years ago using other supplement brands and they always worked, but usually I didn't notice a difference until after a few weeks of use. When I was in the Army, I was told that I had Patella Femoral Syndrome, so basically my knees were shot from overuse of crazy Physical Training sessions. I hadn't used joint supplements for about 4 or 5 years now, I just dealt with any pain and limited my leg workouts accordingly. I decided to increase my leg workouts and up the intensity, however, my knees were getting super sore. I had to try something because I was not going to pop pain killers everyday and I did not want my fitness goals to suffer. Anyway, as soon as the Dr Tobias' supplements arrived, I took them right away and the next day, the soreness was gone. They haven't been sore since taking the supplements and I have been taking them for about 18 days now and I haven't decreased my workouts or intensity. We just had a crazy blizzard 3 days ago and after shoveling 33 inches of snow for several days, my back would be sore and stiff by the end of the day, but the next day, my back would be fine with no pain killers or heating pads involved. I know if I wasn't taking the Dr. Tobia's Hip Knee & Joints supplements, my back would be sore right now. My knees have a very noticeable crunch, so I was hoping that that went away too, but the crunch is still there; I have my hopes up high to get rid of that annoying loud crunch :-)
