5.0 out of 5 stars Immediate relief!!, July 15, 2009

A positive research study of ASU in horses encouraged me to try Cosequin ASU on my pony. Then I thought, what the heck ... why him and not me? The Cosamin ASU literature suggests that it may take weeks to experience results, but much to my surprise, within two days of beginning the four caps a day loading dose my arthritic joints were pain-free. With only occasional throbs, my joints have stayed comfortable since then and so have I!!

We have had great success with this product and other variations of glucosamine/chondroitin from this company. It is not the cheapest brand, but it definitely is the best. We had tried other brands and found out about this one from a friend. My 82 year old mother finally has found relief from her crippling arthritis, after having tried other brands that did not work. My spouse and I have found it helps us with joint pain from injuries and aging.

If you check out this company on the web, you will see they have a patented formula that is more absorbable than the regular molecular structure found in other brands. It was used in the first and only controlled, double-blind laboratory studies that showed the efficacy of this supplement.

From their site you can find references to the research that was done:

----------------------------------------------------
Since 1992, CosaminDS has been used to help people maintain joint health. The two main ingredients in CosaminDS, *TRH122® LMW (low molecular weight) chondroitin sulfate and *FCHG49® glucosamine hydrochloride, are exclusive to CosaminDS. They work synergistically to support and maintain overall joint health. Published studies have shown that CosaminDS works to maintain the healthy structure of the cartilage in your joints while inhibiting the enzymes that break down cartilage.

CosaminDS is the #1 brand recommended by Orthopedic Surgeons and Rheumatologists1. It's the only brand proven effective in controlled, published, U.S. studies to reduce joint pain. It contains the low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate and same quality glucosamine in the multi-center National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical trial. CosaminDS may also be eligible for reimbursement from your flexible spending account (FSA). Check with your FSA benefit provider and/or refer to IRS Publication 502 for details.

We've been buying it for years and are very happy with the results. Worth every penny to finally find one that works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Willing to try any alternative to knee replacement, April 7, 2010

I tried Cosamin ASU because I told my Doctor that I wanted to try any alternative to having a knee replacement, and he said they have seen some good results with the avocado soy supplement. I am 60, and not ready for a knee replacement. So far it has helped to some degree with my pain.
