   i’ve done a lot of damage to my body over the years and now that i’m in my 60s, it’s catching up to me. i would wake up with sore knees and sore wrists from bone on bone contact due to cartilage damage, this helps, it’s not a miracle cure all but it helps along with my other meds. size of capsules is manageable, no real taste or smell to mention, and they make getting up every day a little easier.

   I have been bothered by shoulder, neck and back pain for close to 50 years, due to injuries and excessive physical activities. . When it got too intense I used small amounts of prescription muscle relaxant, and pain killers to relieve the pain and restore movement. When we started going to a new doctor recently, he suggested that I try glucosamine. However, when I tried to purchase some, I found that all of the brands were based on shellfish, that I have an extreme allergy to. By extreme, I mean “life threatening”. I discovered this product, in June of 2018, and began a very careful, and monitored use. The pain subsided, after about two weeks, and the movement of my arms and shoulders which had been restricted, gradually was restored, in about a month. But wait, it gets better. Almost 15 years ago my wife, was told that she should have hip replacement surgery, because of deterioration, caused by arthritis. After seeing several of our friends, and relatives who had the hip replacements done, suffer for years, and endure product recalls, and numerous other medical procedure and ending up no better, and still endure large amounts of pain and in some cases worse, she opted out. Over the years she, began using a cane, and began to rely on shopping carts for support, when we went shopping. In addition she spent many sleepless, and sometimes tearful nights. However, when she saw the really good effect this product, had on me, she began to use it. Again over a few months, there was a gradual, and noticeable improvement. For most part she is pain free, and able to walk without the cane, but she still leans on the shopping cart. If I didn’t see it, I would not have believed it possible. But taking this supplement is also accompanied by exercise, not a formal program, but by leading an active life style, and eating a mostly plant based diet. We are both 78 years old, and looking forward to the spring gardening season. I manage to do something outside a few hours each day, weather permitting, while my wife enjoys cooking, and cleaning, and sprucing up our home. (yes enjoys cleaning) I hope that this information is helpful and someone, at least might try using glucosamine, and only submit to surgery as a last resort. Remember it is elective.

   I like this product. It has good potency, and the pill size is manageable. I have had some similar products that were too difficult to swallow.

   Hopefully this review will be noticed by someone at the Divine Bounty company. I emailed their customer service reps with my inquiry, but I did not receive a response. I did not feel any different having finished my first bottle of these pills. Even so, I wish to continue taking them because it gives me a sense of doing something healthy for myself, even if I don’t feel it physically.

   I plan to add stars to this one-star review when I receive a satisfactory answer to the following question: Can someone please tell me if the Glucosamine and MSM formula has changed? I am down to the last pills of my first bottle, and I just opened my second bottle (both bought on Amazon). The bottles themselves are identical, as you can see from my first pic. However, my next pic shows that the pills from the first bottle look like sand sprinkled with black pepper, whereas the pills from the second bottle look like pure white granulated sugar! Does anyone have any idea why there is such a discrepancy?

   Edit: I am changing my review to 4 stars after receiving the following email:

   Hi Cheryl,

   Thank you for reaching out. Regrettably, we don’t seem to receive the email and just saw the review on Amazon. We sincerely apologize for the delayed response.

   I completely understand your concern and hope I can put your mind at ease.

   Rest assured, we have not changed any of the ingredients, and both of the bottles you have purchased are safe to consume.

   The reason for the brownish and cream colors is that glucosamine sulfate is susceptible to a change in color when exposed to heat or moisture. The vegetarian form of glucosamine that we use in our formula is particularly prone to this phenomenon.

   Heat and moisture in the surrounding environment will facilitate a reaction between the ingredients. This reaction causes a darkening of the powder and the appearance of brown specks inside the capsules.

   While the change in color can appear unusual, the browning is much like the brown color on the outside of bread after you’ve baked it in an oven. It is a superficial change that does NOT affect the quality of the nutrients inside. The capsules are still safe to consume, despite any color changes.

   We have spoken to Amazon to ensure they are storing the bottles correctly, and they assure us that their warehouses meet the necessary storage requirements. We can only assume that the color change occurs in the delivery trucks, depending on the temperature and length of time they are in there that particular day.

   To avoid a color change in any new bottles, I suggest storing the bottle in a cool, dry place away from exposure to sunlight (but do not refrigerate).

   I hope that helps! Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

   I noticed a huge difference in my knee pain in less than a month. Had gone to physical therapy for weeks and got a little relief. But this product really came through and I have no knee pain or other joint pain.

   Since I’ve been taking this glucosamine my lower back pain has been far more manageable. I’d recommend it!
