Dr.Tobias Chondroitin Sulfate Glucosamine and MSM Dietary Supplement 240 Capsules

Very good product

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 :-)

According to a third party testing company this product is what it says it is. Which is important, because lots of supplements aren't.The capsules are your typical clear type encasing some white powder. They're big, but not giant.The biggest downside to this supplement is that it is a blend. Blends make me sad, because if one ingredient bothers you, there is nothing to be done for it! As it stands, this supplement upsets my stomach when taken during the day. I wish I could try just Glucosamine and leave out the MSM and Chondroitin, but if I want to do that I have to go with something made in a factory in China that isn't tested. No thank you, I'll just take the pills at night.--Now the disclaimers.First, I don't take this regularly. I try for everyday, but really I only get like 2 or 3 days a week.Second, I'm taking this to help with joint pain related to brazilian jiujitsu (BJJ)Third, Dr. Tobias asked me to write this review in an email that included an offer for a free bottle of this stuff (which I accepted). This offer was not predicated upon my writing a review, let alone a favorable review, but transparency and all that.

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

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. I’m 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 it’s 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. It’s only been a week but I can tell it’s working in my bones/joints as the pain with movement is much less.

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.
