Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My 75 year old mom was recently diagnosed with arthritis in one of her knees, This made it uncomfortable to walk any appreciable distance and extremely painful for her to climb a flight of stairs. She had to maneuver a flight literally one step at a time, both feet on the same step before attempting the next one. In addition to that, she would hear her knee crackling, like bone against bone. So, knowing she was coming to visit me, and the fact that I have very steep steps in my home, i order these and had her start taking them the first day. That was on a Friday afternoon. The instructions are to take a loading dose of 6 capsules per day for two weeks, before backing down to 3 per day. She took 3 caps the first day, and 6 each day the next two days. That Monday morning (start of day 4), i heard my mom exclaim with much excitement that she'd just walked up the stairs pain free, without even realizing it. She left for home the following Sunday, after a week of walking up and down my stairs and others, walking the mall, and downtown square (which has some modest hills) without any pain. By the end of her first week home, she had decided to drop back to the maintenance dose of 3 per day. This was after only one solid week on the loading dose. This past Friday - ending week four of using this supplement for her, I asked her how she was doing in her own home with steps. Still no pain. I asked about the crinkling in her knee - she had to think about if she'd heard it. She could not even recall the last she'd heard the noise. Folks, if you are on the fence, it certainly can't hurt to try. But be confident in this review - i am not a hype person and only review when the results are outstanding or awful. I am so happy for my mother! As such, i have ordered her a second bottle so she does not run out.
