Glucosamine, Chondroitin & Msm 120 Tabs

I had viewed the label for potency and thought I was getting 500 mg of glucosamine but when I received it -- it is 750 mg. I probably got more for my money but I need to rethink my consumption to stay at my designated dosage level.

It may well be that my hip is too far gone to be helped, other than surgery. But I received no relief after taking this for a month.

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.
