 Updated product; works fine |

| This product was recommended by several sources due to the MSM additive in place of chondroitin. There are no apparent side effects and it seems to help, especially for my knees. The price is reasonable considering quantity, quality, and effects. |
Dogs!

| Reviewer: Lori Lundgren, Corte Madera CA |
| I am a professional dog walker in Northern California. One of my client's vets recommended this product a couple years ago for her aging Chocolate labs.. Within 2 weeks, the Chocolate labs were NEW DOGS, no limping, no stress, no PAIN, NO KIDDING! I began using it with my own dog and have since recommended to many of my clients with HUGE success! Why pay vet costs for a glucosamine blend that doesn't work even half as well??? I will NEVER stop giving it to my dog nor will I ever stop recommending it to my clients. It is AMAZING! Thank you Kirkland!! |

Hard to Swallow?
|
| Review Date: August 15, 2010 |
| Reviewer: JoeM, |
| Sure they're hard to swallow! Break them in half on the cut line if that's a problem. Sure it takes 2 to dose 1500 mg...so do the other brands. Sure it's expensive, but try going without it for a week. This med really works! But why buy at Amazon? If you have a Costco membership is cost of $16.86, that's less than 9 cents/day. |
The service of Amazon.com are very good.

Requires 2 tablets to meet advertised dosage
|
| Review Date: June 30, 2010 |
| Reviewer: riverridge, |
| Note that this product requires you to take two tablets to meet the advertised dosage. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere in the product info. So, 375 tablets is just 187.5 doses at the advertised 1500 mg. |
Big Pills are Hard to Swallow
|
| Review Date: January 5, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Oliver, Los Angeles |
| I cannot begin to tell you if this stuff really helps, nor comment on purity, etc. I can say, however, that these pills are really hard to swallow. And, I usually have an easy time swallowing pills. I can't remember ever having a problem with pills of any kind, including other brands of glucosamine. I will buy another brand next time because of this issue. |
Deceptive Labeling!
|
| Review Date: July 1, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Giordano Bruno, Wherever I am, I am. |
I take glucosamine diligently. You can see from this review page that I have purchased THIS product through amazon. However, I cannot endorse glucosamine as 'effective' on the basis of any personal experience or any scientific knowledge. I take it because people whose knowledge I respect have told me that it MAY be useful in preventing deterioration of joints. I am a musician; it's my finger joints that I would be willing to protect at any cost. My advisors have recommended double the dosage considered 'standard" - 3000mg per day, and that's what I take.
But glucosamine is expensive at that dosage. I don't believe the cost of manufacture justifies the prices that are charged. I suspect that the profits are excessive. And I'm outraged at the deceptive and exploitative labeling of glucosamine products by virtually every manufacturer. This, along with all other vitamins and nutritional supplements, should be strictly regulated and standardized by the FDA or some other federal watchdog consumer protection agency. Big government is the ordinary citizen's only friend in relation to private industrial giants like the drug and supplement companies.
Kirkland Glucosamine "Extra Strength" is one of the most economical sources I've been able to find. I would have no complaint against the company if it were not for the blatantly misleading labeling and incomplete product info here on amazon. The label boldly trumpets "1500mg". Nowhere on the label, front or back, large print or small, does it acknowledge that each tablet actually contains 750mg of glucosamine. Reading the tight print of the "Supplement Facts", one will find that a "Serving Size" is 2 tablets, and that such a serving size delivers the 1500mg. Thus, there are not 375 servings in the package, but only 187.5. The product may be twice as expensive as the incautious buyer is led to presume.
Yes, yes, I understand the notion of Caveat Emptor -- Buyer Beware! I'm hoping here to be 'helpful' to those hurried or handicapped buyers who tend to believe in the forthright honesty of big business. |
