Customer Reviews
Cosamin DS By Susan C. Pemberton (Independence, MO)
My husband has been using this product for a decade. His Orthopedic Surgeon recommended this brand only and told him to stay away from other similar products because they don't work as efficiently. His hip needs to be replaced and with the use to Cosamin DS he has gotten so much relief that he has been able to put off the replacement for 10 years...and still counting. It isn't a quick fix though. It took about 4 months of using the product before he saw increased mobility and decreased pain. He swears by this product and never misses a dose.

Best on Market By AJames (Washington, DC USA)
My rheumatologist (and med school professor) says he thinks everyone over 50 ought to take this supplement -- but only this particular brand. Despite recent reports that glucosamine/chondroitin generally may be ineffective, he continues to recommend it because the fed govt (NIH? not sure which agency) did a well-designed study of this actual brand and found it effective. My understanding is that, while it may sometimes cause new cartilage growth, it is most useful for minimizing future cartilage loss, i.e., it's primarily effective as a preventative supplement.

Pain free knees By Richard Ritacco
After using this product for only one month I found a great improvement with the general arthritic pain in my knees. I recommend DS for I have used many other similar products with very little results.

Dr. Recommended By Sharon Williams (Boston, MA USA)
My doctor recommended this product. He studied it an felt it had the best combination of ingredients. Of course it is too soon to see if this type of product will help.

Great product By 1952vincent
This product was recommended by the Tennessee Titans orthapedist. It really helps with joint problems. I am completely off my prescription medication. Amazon has the best price also.

Cosamin DS By Revdavidwms
I really like purchasing my Cosmin DS from Amazon the cost per capsule is greater than on the shelf at grocers. I have been using this product over ten years and would swear by it. It helps my joints relax and feel good. I would recommend others to try for their arthritis and joint pain.

Works great for knee joints and my dog By U.P. Guy
I have been using this product for about 4 years. I bicycle about 2,000 miles a year including a 500 mile one week ride across Nebraska. My knees were bothering me and giving me a fair amount of pain. This product takes several weeks to have full effect of increasing joint lubrication. Follow the instructions with heavier doses for the first month or so. It does not relieve pain from water on the knee as it increases the fluid.

It is also excellent for hip problems with older large dogs. We have a 14 year old golden Retriever and she is doing much better with two capsules a day.

A must have for sore joints By michaels2332 (Boulder, CO)
Two orthopedic surgeons and my dog's vet all recommended specifically this brand of glucosamine. The vet even did her own MRI studies on dogs with this brand versus others and found better results with Cosamin than grocery store brands (dogs don't benefit from the placebo effect).

The packaging and my doctors all recommended taking a larger dose the first few months and then tapering it down, but I've found that anything less than 3 a day leaves me sore within a couple of weeks. I do a lot of trail and hill running here in Colorado, so I probably do more damage than the average person. Cosamin costs a little more, especially at higher doses, but it is 100% worth it.
