I am second degree black belt in Taekwondo, 60 years young and my knees take a beating. I have been taking this product for the last 8 months. I started right after my first athroscopic knee surgery, for stage 2 osteoarthritis and torn miniscus, and it works. When I showed this product to my orthopaedic surgeon, he said it was what I needed to take for the rest of my life. He takes the same product! After a second surgery for another tear, I was able to return to Taekwondo within weeks. I will continue learning and teaching until I have be carried out, but I won't stop taking Triple Flex.

A daily serving of this supplement consists of three caplets, which together contain 110 mg of sodium. For those on a sodium-restricted diet, this is 1/5th of your RDA of sodium. Also, if you have allergies to shellfish, this product contains shellfish.

That said, the combination of sodium chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, and MSM really does alleviate pain. After 30 days I noticed remarkable relief in both feet, which are almost bruised at the end of the day from standing and walking on concrete floors. I did not notice any relief in my neck, which suffers from herniated discs resulting from years of coaching wrestling.

I will continue to take glucosamine and chondroitin for the pain relief in my feet, but I will search for a product with less sodium if that is possible.

This product took about 40 days to kick in with my use the results amazing I have a really bad ankle problem I used to limp after working for a couple hours after using this limp is I worked 35 hours in two days on my feet and the pain I had was on the same level as my mild pain I had before using the product this is great I recommend to all those who suffer from a joint problem.

I have had chronic dull pain in my left knee for years, partly because of a old basketball injury, partly because of being over-weight, which puts pressure on one's knees and back.

I have taken other products for this same problem and they worked somewhat (such as SAM-e); but this product works the best.

Like it says on the box, give it 7 days to start working- it takes time to "get into your system". You will notice a DEFINITE difference after 10 days. I did- after about the 10th day, 70% of the pain was gone, and the knee felt more flexible, (much like when you oil a rusty hinge of a door). A knee is basically a hinge which connects your feet and legs. I am now able to do more exercise, more walking, and be more active, which is great.

Easy to use: takes two pills per day- that's it. I usually take 2 pills first thing in the morning. The price is reasonable, considering the benefit it gives you.

**HIGHLY RECOMMENDED**

I originally got this product for my husband and it was so good he told me to try it. I did and it has worked wonders with my "bad knees" that they don't feel bad anymore. I can get up and down with no pain and no "popping" of my joints. This product is wonderful and I'm getting ready to buy some more.

The product description says "Glucosamine 1500 mg, Chondroitin 800 mg, MSM 750mg Caplets" & "each tablet containing 1,500 milligrams of glucosamine and 800 milligrams of chrondroitin". I am looking at the bottle I just got, and it says each caplet contains: 750 mg of glucosamine, 145 mg of chrondroitin and NO MSM. It does, however, have 5 mg of Hyaluronic Acid per caplet. It seems to be a different product than advertised.

tf changed my whole recreational life. i can now play golf on consecutive days without worrying about the back locking up on me.

It's hard to be sure if a product is working. It takes time to build up in the system and the pain relief is very gradual. When I stop taking it for a day or two, the pain is back to remind me. I am now a believer.

I was diagnosed with a patella degeneration in my knee and was advised by the surgeon to trying healing the cartilage with Glucosamine.

It's been three months since I have started taking glucosamine and I do find a difference in how my knee reacts to running. The pain has decreased and I feel slightly more comfortable with running after a 5 month lay off.

Although the claims for feeling better in few days seem a bit dramatic, I personally feel it should be taken as a long term approach to healing.

I bought this product because Nature Made is rated in the top 3 manufactures of supplements. I think it has had some benefits to my problem with Osteoarthritis but OA is something that only gets worst with time. I think the Triple Flex product has help to relieve some of the pain. And I am hoping that it may restore some of the cartilidge. But there is no direct proof that anything can do that.
