Glucosamine Chondroitin Plus MSM

Does anyone know of a source for Glucosamine Chondroitin with MSM that is more reasonable than local shelves? Some may not believe in the stuff yet I have some family members using it and I was shocked to see how much they were paying for it.
Thanks
Steve

Since it does work I think it is a good bang for the buck and I think the GNC brand is like $20 a bottle and that lasts for a month.

When my dog was put on it for a while, the vet told me it was a long term thing. Don't expect to see results immediately. Put him on it for months and took him off for a bit. No change. The only thing that worked was a glucosamine shot. http://www.adequancanine.us/ has it and I wonder if they are developing a human version. Adequan® Canine (polysulfated glycosaminoglycan), the only FDA-approved* disease modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD). They actually have irridiated particles in it during testing and proved that it did settle in the joints as opposed to the oral ones that get digested and who knows how much actually gets absorbed into the joints.

Cheap, and profits go to a good cause. Scroll down a bit for the HCL and MSM - you can get them both in bulk.

We don't need it, but we've used it for years on our dogs. Makes a huge difference as they get older.

I've referred many folks to the above site, and they were just as satisfied as they were with the stuff they paid insane prices for at GNC. Even though it's directed at dogs, they do have independant certificates of analysis available...something you can't get with the store bought stuff.

Nobody's croaked yet.

I don't know if Costco is a nation-wide dealy but they have some good supplement prices. I've been using SAM-e for a few years and they have the best price I've found on that.

Now if you'll excuse me, I just remembered that I forgot to take my Gluc./MSM/Chondroitin today.

Purely anecdotal, but . .

I began to have a lot of racket coming from my knees and was worried that years of running was finally catching up to me. Started taking this stuff and I have to say I believe it really does help.

It's supposed to help rebuild the stuff that makes your bones slide against each other in your joints. Puritans Pride or Vitamin World stores are pretty good.

Sorry, I'm a stockholder and had to insert that shameless plug in there. I am sincere about the efficacy of this particular suppliment, though.
