Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The collagen protein is a requirement to keep my knees, hips and ankles functioning. Degenerative joint disease, also called osteoarthritis, runs strongly in my family. Both my parents suffer from it, as do I. When I use a scoop a day of Knox in my coffee, my joint pain is minimal. If I run out or skip the collagen supplement, after a couple months I get severe, sharp, shocks of pain where weight bearing bone meets bone. Returning to the regime of a scoop a day takes several weeks to rebuild my own joint collagen to the point of being painlessly functional again. I've been using Nutrajoint, and now regular Knox, for about 10 years. I really enjoyed the NutraJoint supplement Knox had out for a while, mostly because it didn't gel if your coffee cooled a bit. This stuff retains all the gelling power of your childhood Jello, and then some. If your dosed coffee cools before you've finished it, expect to have to microwave your cup to finish a portion. I'm only taking off a star because the doesn't-gel version was nicer to work with. This, if you dump an entire scoopful at a time into hot water, clumps up into a slow-dissolving blob. You need to sprinkle some in, stir, sprinkle in more, stir, and so on to keep from getting gelatine clumps. My mom and dad are amazed I don't have problems with my joints on a daily basis. My sister has had a hip replacement, my mother, hip and knee replacements. I keep up with my Knox, and count my blessings.
