Years back I read some negative info on the Glucosamine and Chondroitin I was taking, mostly focused on blood sugar issues. I also read and researched shark cartilage, researched local health stores, ultimately deciding I could not afford it. Later I found this affordable and very effective Puritan Pride shark cartilage and have used it a few years now, noting I like it much better. The capsule is easier to take, no blood sugar issues, it's GF and the list of reasons goes on. The real bottom line though, is the arthritic joints that were killing me aren't any more and I attribute it to this shark cartilage.

I can't yet prove its benefit to my knees, since, having taken shark cart. supplements before, they take time to work. But, I have, in 30 days or so, not had any side effects from taking this brand. That is my only justification for being able to give it a "thumbs up". From prior experience, 3-6 months of using shark cartilage is needed for proof of effectiveness.

I've been taking these for several years and swear by them. I prefer them over glucosimine/condroitin capsules. I'm 63 and lift weights 4-5 times a week, play softball, hike, work outside pulling 300 ft of hose thru lawns, treating them and have zero joint pain.

Have used P.P. shark cartilage to help w/my achy joints, (knees, esp.), for about 15-20 yrs. now & it helps tremendously. Doesn't COMPLETELY eliminate pain, but I can certainly tell a difference if & when I don't take it. I've also read that it may help in preventing cancer cell growth....can't attest to that, but it can't hurt!!

I purchased this for my husband who has complained about his joints for years. He complains MUCH less and can really tell a difference if I let it run out before ordering more!
