I have used Member's Mark Gluc-Chond MSM and Gluc-Chond for 22 years and would not have used it but for the recommendation of a surgeon, who advised taking double a typical dose every day for 30 days and see if it helps. A knee squat would have been quite painful before taking this but after the 30 days, tolerable. My problems are osteo and not rheumatoid arthritis. Watch the per tablet contents as the contained amounts sometimes change. The current ad label shows 1288 mg chondroitin msm per 2 tablets while I am holding a very similar Member's Mark bottle except that it shows 1103 mg chondroitin msm per 2 tablets, (use by 08/20 Lot 800011). During this time I have tried glucosamine sulfate/ MSM without the chondroitin and the pain and stiffness quickly returned. On an extended vacation pain returned about halfway through the trip even though I had continued with the usual number of MM tablets. I was just about to see about having arthroscopy when I thought about just doubling the dose and see if that would help. Years before when pain had returned earlier, I had doubled the maintenance amount settled on when first taking this supplement and the pain subsided and mobility improved. Years later, behold! Looking at the MM label, I found I had only been taking two thirds of my normal amount during my trip-- I had switched from the MM Gluc/Chond to the MM Gluc/Chond MSM and had not realized the contained amount per tablet or capsule had changed substantially.

I'm 63 and have chronic shoulder and elbow soreness. I dubiously bought this a couple weeks ago due to it's price. After 9 days of daily use, amazingly, most of the soreness is gone. Is it working due to it's formula? Is it a placebo effect? No clue. All I know is I can sleep through the night comfortably. Definitely worth a shot for skeptical buyers.

I have bought these for years...large, white pills, NO SMELL. Bought a bottle on 9/30/22, and the pills are weirdly pink, and the smell is awful. Hard to describe. Took one, didn't sleep well, and had a stomach ache. These are going back to the store. Hope this gets corrected soon. They are otherwise great and a good price.

Can't beat the price! My right knee started hurting and a gym friend recommended taking something that was three times as expensive from another company. I tried the other stuff for 2 months, but then found this at Sam's Club, and the formula was almost exactly the same, except for a third of the price! My knee feels great now--I can do aerobics classes and walk up and down the stairs to our 3rd floor apartment with no pain! My husband was using something completely different for his joints, but said it didn't seem to be working, and so switched to this. Then, our 30-year-old daughter decided to see if it would help her foot and hip pain, and everyone is amazed at how much better we feel!

So I’ve tried stuff like this years ago with no luck. Probably because I didn’t give it enough time. So my knees hurt so bad that I could barley walk. Went to rehab with no luck. Had my knees xrayed and everything looked good. I started taking this but this time didn’t expect results quickly. After the second month I woke up with no pain in either knees. Everybody is different but I have to think this stuff is helping. Advil Tylenol Alieve and all other meds didn’t help. So give it a try but be patient.

I have been buying these for several years and taking without any issue. I bought a new bottle last month as ai was getting low & just opened it last week only to find the pills are now speckled & slightly tan in color compared to the pure white I had been taking. When I used the first pill from the new batch, the taste made me gag. The new pill(s) have a taste I can only describe as like “perfume”. I took the bottle back right away & purchased a new hoping it was simply a bad batch. I made sure the batch number was different than the one I returned. Upon opening this latest bottle, the pills in are also not the pure white I was used to. Taking a pill from this newest bottle & batch (ex date 06/24), I found that same horrible taste. I’ll be returning these & buying my pulls from another manufacturer - I cannot stomach whatever change has been made to the makeup of this product.

I've been taking these for over eight years; although I don't know if all three make the difference because I was taking MSM four months before Glucosamine Chondroitin were recommended by my orthopedic MD. It took some time to notice improvement but now I can traverse stairs and ladders, squat and kneel to garden, and walk longer on uneven ground. This is the best price/daily dose I have found, and even better when Sam's offers $off.

Not sure if it makes any difference - feel the same

Third bottle. It works good.

Great supplement at a good price
