    There are two main drugs of interest for me in Cosamin DS Joint Health Supplement, Capsules, 210-Count Bottle: glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. Not wanting to jump on the band-wagon and throw just anything in my mouth because a bottle said it was helpful, I did a little digging to see if there really is anything to this stuff. Here’s a bit of what I found…

    -a 2009 review of available studies concluded that glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, and chondroitin sulfate used individually only inconsistently decreases arthritis pain. However, many studies have confirmed arthritis pain relief when you take glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate together.

    -studies have consistently reported that glucosamine appears safe

    -a review by Bruyere et al. about glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for the treatment of knee and hip osteoarthritis concludes that both products act as valuable symptomatic therapies for arthritis and have some potential structure-modifying effects

    -the OsteoArthritis Research Society International is recommending chondroitin sulfate as the second-most-effective treatment for moderate cases of osteoarthritis

    -the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) supports using chondroitin sulfate in the management of knee osteoarthritis

    Well, I’m pretty much sold. I encourage people who have arthritis to give it a try. It’s not a big investment if it doesn’t help you, but it may be one of the best investments you ever made if it does help! Those with knee arthritis might also be interested in Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis.

    The major complaint for this product is that it is pricey. You need to start taking three capsules a day for one or two months and then you can drop down to two a day. Depending on where you get them (Costco has a better deal) they are about 25 to 30 cents each. The reason you want to try this product is that the ingredients are of a very high quality. If glucosamine-chondroitin is going to work for you, and it doesn’t work for everyone, then you should try this one first. It it works, then you can try the cheaper ones. The problem with all food supplements is that their quality is not regulated by the FDA, so you never really know what you are getting. Cosamin DS at least has been peer reviewed and has multiple professional recommendations. Try this one first.

    I’ve used this for several years to reduce the joint pain and stiffness in my hands and knees. It has worked beyond my expectations.
