Kirkland Extra Strength Glucosamine HCl Chondroitin Sulfate-190 Tablets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a runner for over 25 years. I raced a lot including 11 marathons. I'd estimate that I've put in enough running miles to have run around the world at the equator, if that was physically possible.
In any case, I've had very few problems with running injuries. Perhaps the one big exception is recurring sore ankles in my later years. At one point, they were sore enough that I not only had to stop running, I was having trouble walking. At that point I started using a product called "Joint Juice," and I experienced a bit of relief. I didn't go back to running, however. I was discussing the situation with a friend and he said that "Joint Juice" contained only glucosamine and that I needed a product containing both glucosamine and chondroitin. My friend is very knowledgeable about endurance sports and associated overuse injuries, I should add.
So, I picked up a large bottle of Kirkland Signature Extra Strength Glucosamine and Chondroitin tablets. I chose the Kirkland product because it was highly rated and available at a reasonable price. I'd say my ankles are now much better. Much better! They're so much better, in fact, that I'm now considering going into training for 5K and, eventually, 10K runs. Perhaps I might add that I'm 73 years old and I'd love to get back to racing.

Wellesse Joint Movement Glucosamine with Chondroitin + MSM, Natural Berry Flavor, 16-Ounce (480 ml) (Pack of 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Immediately after I complete a run of at least 8 miles, my knees ache. Never when I'm running, just after. To combat this, I've tried a few Glucosamine & Chondroitin & MSM products. I can tell a definite improvement (no pain in my knees after a long run) within about two weeks. So, at least for me, the key components in this product are helpful.
I tried to get these components via chews, but was chewing so many of these calorie-laden chews that my jaw started to hurt. You may laugh -- but really, it was anywhere from 3 to 6 very tough "chews" (and I use that term loosely; they were like stale Tootsie Rolls). There had to be a better way.
I tried to get these components via a few powder brands (adding a scoop to my post-workout shake), but my stomach would get upset a few hours later -- serious cramping and bloating.
Then I tried Wellesse. First off, the taste is great when mixed into my chocolate shake. The recommended dose doesn't add a significant number of sugar calories. The cost per dose is reasonable. And most importantly, I get that same benefit of Glucosamine & Chondroitin & MSM (after two weeks of consistent use, no joint pain after a long run) without any of the drawbacks I experienced with the other products.
One lesson learned: sometimes Wellesse will have a few particles when I pour it into my drink (which messes up a smooth shake). Shaking my recovery drink after adding the Wellesse wasn't fixing the problem... but if you shake the Wellesse bottle first, problem averted. Guess the Wellesse wants its own vigorous shake to break up its small clumps. That's an extra shake worth doing, in my opinion.

Joint Juice Glucosamine and Chondroitin Supplement Drink Cranberry Pomegranate 8-Ounce 30-Count Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been running and racing for over three decades. I've logged as high as 50 miles per week and my total mileage would be more than enough to run around the circumference of the world. I've completed 11 marathons with a best time of 3 hours, 27 minutes. The running was fun and provided excellent competition and fitness. My non-running friends used to warn me that my excessive running time was going to ruin my joints, especially the knees. Well I'm now almost 75 and my knees have held up fine but in recent years I've had some trouble with painful ankles. Even extensive walking seems to bother them at times. One of my friends suggested "Joint Juice." OK, it was worth a try. I picked up a case and drank a can every day for at least six months. I drank it every morning and used it as a fruit juice.
Did the "Joint Juice" help my problem? Quite frankly, I couldn't really tell. It was inconclusive. This is one of those "health food" things where the testimonials are glowing but the scientific data are inconclusive. My joints seemed better, but were still not fully back to pain free. I've gone on hikes of up to five miles with little problem, however. Was the improvement due to the use of "Joint Juice?" Perhaps. I mentioned the problem to another friend that said it might indeed help, but in his opinion I should be taking Glucosamine plus Chondroitin and that "Joint Juice" had Glucosamine only. At that point, I started taking a glucosamine/chondrioitin tablet. My impression was that it helped more than the "Joint Juice." Well, about a week ago I was shopping at my local warehouse store and there was a palate of new improved "Joint Juice" with cases of thirty plastic bottles. Of course, I had to try it.
I like the new formula and I like the fact that it comes in small bottles. I can use it as a fruit juice with my morning meal and I much prefer it to the pill form. Some people have complained about the taste, but it doesn't bother me at all. After all, I'm trying to use it as a medication, not as a soda pop. I think that drinking it ice cold is best and it goes down well as a morning drink. I plan to stick with it for at least three or four cases. I'm convinced that the glucosamine/condroitin combination has helped my ankles and this is the easiest and most convenient way of taking it.
