4.0 out of 5 stars Very good quality and excellent value, May 6, 2010

This review is from: NOW Foods Glucosamine 1.1g, Chondroitin 1.2g, with MSM 300mg, 180 Capsules (Health and Beauty)

I do understand the importance of publishing the recommeded dosage and the amount of product per capsule, and maybe some of the complaints regarding such will help them to change that. However, I have used this product along with many supplements from NOW, and have always been satisfied with their quality and excellent value. NOW does not use artificial coloring, fillers or preservatives in their products, and is the main reason I use their stuff. The low price is great, but I don't like ingesting ingredients like Titanium Dioxide.

For people looking for the content amount per serving, which is (3) capsules: 1,100 mg. of glucosamine - 1,200 mg. of chondroitin - 300 mg. of MSM

The capsules are the easiest of all glucosamine products to swallow, as the tablets you get from the grocery store can make you feel like you're taking a horse pill. I even give my large dogs this product at a lesser dose, and put the capsules right into their food, which they eat without even grunting...(or should I say inhale?)

MSM is a nice adder, but my only knock is I wish they would have put more in, as I believe a higher dose would be much more effective.

I do not work for MSM, but I spend a lot of money with them. You can go to their website if you are curious about their other products, and also to find out how much to take, and how much you are actually taking. You can also send them an email, and I'm sure they'd be more than happy to give you any information you need.

The FDA does not regulate supplement companies, so I have to take NOW and other companies like them at their word. They appear to have a good track record and reputation, and I will jump on board here and second my positive opinion towards them and this product.

As for how it works: Well, that's subjective and different for everybody. My oldest dog seems to respond well to it, and I've experienced a little relief in the knees and lower back, but I still have to make sure I get the right footwear and listen to my body. Some people will like it, while others won't. I don't expect supplements to work wonders or be a "cure-all", so I keep that in mind, and if your joints are in too bad a shape, and getting out of bed or bending over is a major chore, then please go see an orthapedic, and do not take someone who says she took this for a week and is now running marathons and kicking people in the head at MMA matches at face value. I'm not saying go swallow a bunch of NSAIDS, but you are in need of much more than a mild supplement, and are better off taking the advice of a professional and not an Amazon.com reviewee (i.e. me).

As for what I like about it: The price is a great value compaired to other similar products. You don't have to take 10 pills in the morning, 15 at lunch and 25 before bedtime, which saves me from getting annoyed at the ridiculous regimine some companies suggest, which makes it too easy to forget, and too easy to run out in a week. I've never had any stomach upsets or adverse reactions with this product, and I have noticed less of a tendency to reach for the anti-inflammatories when using regularly.

Not terribly expensive, nor fancy in its appearance, but when I decide my knees will benefit from a prettier package and nasty fillers with horse pill sized tablets and an exaggerated dosing amount, I'll use something else. Until then, I'll just stick with what works for me.

Long time lifter. When I do shoulders or chest I get popping noises. When I take these I don't. Highly recommended. They may have a 2-3 week spin up time, before you start seeing results.

I have used this company's products for years now and swear by them. There are many vitamin and supplement companies out there, but NOW's are the only ones I will purchase, specifically for their high quality. This is the best price I have seen anywhere for this product.
