Nature's Way GS-500 Glucosamine Sulfate, Joint Health Support Supplement*, 240 Capsules

I have used this product since 2000 and It has helped keep me from having a complete knee replacement. In 1997 the second group of orthopedic doctors suggested surgery but wanted me to wait if I could until I was older. When I began taking glucosamine I began to walk without pain and have far more mobility in my knee within 3 months. Before taking it I was not able to sit in a chair normally with a bent knee, go to a movie unless sitting on the end seat, etc. I tried other products through the years and ended up coming back to Enzymatic Therapy because nothing worked as well as their product. I have recommended it to several people. My daughter and a close friend are using it now.

I have been taking this product for years but never previously found it at such a great price.According to all the studies I have read, neither glucosamine nor glucosamine condroiton are better than placebos. However, if you look at the studies carefully, there is substantial benefit shown when glucosamine is paired with sulfates.My personal experience has been that whenever I stop taking this stuff, after a few days, the joint pain in my knees returns. After I go back on it, after a few days, the pain is gone. So I'm convinced. FYI, I take three pills at night before going to bed and do not take any aspirin or ibuprofen at the same time, as I read that doing so might diminish its effectiveness.

I could barely walk 5 months ago and after a MRI and 2 visits to an orthopedic surgeon a total knee replacement was scheduled. I doubled the dosage of GS-500 and improvements slowly occurred. I'm on my feet all day at work and walk 2 miles most mornings. Knee replacement surgery was postponed - I'll probably need it some day but not right now. I've taken this GS 500 for years but for me the trick was taking 8 capsules a day rather than the recommended dosage. There have been no ill effects so far, my blood pressure has remained unchanged.

This always helps with my knee pain.. Have been on for 20 yrs.... can't go up the stairs my knees hurt so much... after being on this for 3 mo...your knees will feel better.. I still have some pain.. but I can go up the stairs ( weight loss would help me). Take 3 ( i.e. 1500mg) per day all at once.. best way to get good absorption from what I have read on this supplement.

I don’t understand thickness but do know I have been using GS 500 for 20 years. My joints quit bending and no longer hurt. I tried to use another brand and was hurting again in a week. Never do without my GS 500

I have been using this product for years with no side effects. It is great and really helps with my stiff muscles.

My inlaws found this product for me about 20 years ago after I was diagnosed with Degenerative Osteoarthritis. Long story short, all could do was cry because my back was KILLING me. I started taking this when it was like $65 a bottle for 30 capsules. I took it for like 3 months & thought..ok I'm good, but lo & behold I was not. Within two weeks I was hurting again. I have since taken one capsule a day. I HIGHLY recommend this product by this company. A Wal-mart or cheaper brand just won't cut it.

I have been using GS-500 for almost 20 years and it has kept my joints in very good condition. I am 67 years old and take two capsules a day - one with breakfast and another in the evening before bed. It has become a part of my daily routine. I would highly recommend this product as a preventative for anyone who is concerned about getting joint pain in later years. An excellent product!
