Customer Reviews of Cosamin DS Joint Health Supplement, Capsules, 210-Count Bottle
Customer Review: Best on Market
Summary: 5 Stars
My rheumatologist (and med school professor) says he thinks everyone over 50 ought to take this supplement -- but only this particular brand. Despite recent reports that glucosamine/chondroitin generally may be ineffective, he continues to recommend it because the fed govt (NIH? not sure which agency) did a well-designed study of this actual brand and found it effective. My understanding is that, while it may sometimes cause new cartilage growth, it is most useful for minimizing future cartilage loss, i.e., it's primarily effective as a preventative supplement.Customer Review: An expensive placebo?
Summary: 4 Stars
Glucosamine chondrotin is not an FDA approved treatment for osteoarthritis, as it has been tested and failed to demonstrate effectiveness. Hence, its packaging as a supplement. It is, however, a medical treatment in Europe and prescribed by doctors. My doctor told me to try it for my knee pain. I do have less knee pain now after a couple of months, but I've also lost 25-30 pounds and now walk 7 hours a week. So, I don't know if this is helping at all, but I'm going to keep on taking it for now. With subscribe and save, it is at least somewhat affordable.Customer Review: Cosamin DS
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband has been using this product for a decade. His Orthopedic Surgeon recommended this brand only and told him to stay away from other similar products because they don't work as efficiently. His hip needs to be replaced and with the use to Cosamin DS he has gotten so much relief that he has been able to put off the replacement for 10 years...and still counting. It isn't a quick fix though. It took about 4 months of using the product before he saw increased mobility and decreased pain. He swears by this product and never misses a dose.Customer Review: arthritis supplement
Summary: 5 Stars
This product was recommended by a friend who had been using it for a long time for his arthritic conditions. Within a few weeks of use myself, I noticed a big difference in my hands and generally in my joints overall. I would definitely recommend someone try Cosamin DS to alleviate aches and pains due to arthritic conditions. I take one in the morning and two in the evening, and will continue this regimen for 2 months before reducing to 2 per day. I am very satisfied with the results so far. Give it a try!Customer Review: Swimmer's shoulder
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is not really meant to aid with swimmer's shoulder. Swimmer's shoulder is an inflammation of tendons in the shoulder, and increase in cartilage would not aide that problem.
While the Cosamin does not aide in swimmer's shoulder, I have taken it after knee injuries with minor improvement in recovery time.
If you are looking for something to aide in the recovery after a joint injury, this product may help, but that is not the intended purpose of the product.
