Source Naturals Hyaluronic Joint Complex - 120 Tablets | with Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM*

I started suffering from knee problems about a year ago. My knees would start to hurt even when I was simply sitting on a chair or stool. I'm 56 and am physically active, so the pain became a real issue. It all came to a head when I injured my right knee at the gym and had to wear a brace just to walk the stairs. I started reading numerous articles and blogs to find a product that would give me some relief. I ran across an article by someone who had chronic joint problems and meticulously documented his journey to relief. Hyaluraonic Joint Complex was one of the three products he highly recommended. I started using it for a couple of months and it relieved my pain. I took a trip for about 10 days and decided not to bring the pills. I experienced no pain until the very last day and it disappeared once I resumed taking the pills. Needless to say, I highly recommend this product to everybody I know who is currently suffering from joint pain.

Before I posted a review I wanted to try this supplement for a period of time to fully test it. I originally purchased Hyaluronic Joint Complex back in August, 2015 after reading many reviews. Prior to taking it I was having a lot of joint pain in my knuckles, elbows and especially my knees. I am 52 years old and was worried I would end up in a hoveround by the time I was 60. My life was becoming limited because it hurt to walk. I had tried Glucosamine Chondroitin supplements and they helped some but I was regularly taking Ibuprofen and Napoxen with them. Back in August I began taking two supplements twice a day of the Hyaluronic Joint Complex. I didn't notice much in the first few weeks but then something began to happen. I began to become more active, doing more around the house, jumping up to clean more often. I was going to the stores and not thinking about finding the closest parking spot to the door. I was no longer thinking about the aching pain all of the time. I'm not saying that it works 100% but there is a noticeable difference. I read a few reviews that said the supplements were too big to swallow. My advice would be to crush them, cut them in half, but find a way to get them down. I am extremely pleased with the supplement and in the improved quality of my life. I will post an update as I continue to take the Hyaluronic Joint Complex to let you know how it works over a longer period of time.

The trick to making these work is to drink plenty of water throughout the day. (Hyaluronic acid works with water to create a natural gel-like substance that fills the joints and relieves pain.) Follow the directions on the bottle, drink plenty of water throughout the day and you should start to see some results within two weeks if you have joint pains from osteoarthritis. I started looking into joint pains when I got tired of hearing all the horror stories from my extended family and their friends regarding knee pains. I finally found out that oral hyaluronic acid can be used to treat osteoarthritis pains and is more effective than the usual glucosamine-chondroitin combo. I gave these to my mom who was skeptical of their effectiveness. They worked great and her doubt faded away quickly. The clicking sound her joints made when she walked went away. She no longer has stiffness and pain in the knee when waking up in the morning. She also started recommending it to her friends at work. Most of whom are post-menopausal and have joint pains. Usually it's knee pain. They also are amazed so much of the pain goes away. Some of them have tried various expensive over-the-counter supplements that never gave them these kinds of results. Any pain left was treated with vitamin c, d3, magnesium citrate, and omega-3 fish oil capsules, which Amazon also sells. Take a lower dose or consult your doctor if you have lymph edema, are taking blood pressure drugs, blood thinners, or taking anti-inflammatory medications (aspirin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Aleve, acetaminophen, etc.) before taking any hyaluronic acid. Some misconceptions: Hyaluronic acid might not work on lower back pain or pain from rheumatoid arthritis since those are different conditions and are not related osteoarthritis. Research vitamin deficiency that leads to lower back pain (Methyl B-12, magnesium citrate, D3, comfrey ointment) and immune boosters for rheumatoid arthritis (D3, C, omega-3 fish oils capsules). Make sure you find info. based on the latest studies. Most of the data around the Net is based on out-dated studies with low-doses that are are usually ineffective.

I get it by taking "30 Minutes of Sunshine". (Amazon does not sell it. It's at 30MinutesOfSunshine [dot] com) Others take 10,000 i.u. daily. So far, no one has died and no one has had any side effects. However, most of their rheumatoid hand pain goes away and they stop getting colds. In other words, they have great immune systems. This is why doctors want you to "be careful" with vitamins and take their dangerous drugs instead. Doctors are still recommending 400 to 4,000 i.u. for Vit. D3. That amount is for children, not adults. It takes doctors a long time to catch up to the latest studies. They get away with it because all this info. is boring to read. The Vitamin D Council's website has up-to-date info. (VitaminDCouncil [dot] org)

The product works as it is supposed to work. I found the high amount of hyaluronic acid to be too much for my stomach. At first it caused nausea and then I had pain. I am not sure if it was acid stomach or heartburn but it was very uncomfortable. I am using another similar product with alot less hyaluronic acid and it works without the stomach upset. This is a good product - just not the right one for me.

I have been using this product for about 8 yrs if more. I found it at my local health food/ vitamin shop. It was recommended by a sales clerk as being the best item they had for arthritis pain. The price kept going up and I finally checked Amazon and found it for less money. During the pandemic, I went to re-order but it was listed as out of stock and may not be in stock again. I ordered another product with Hyaluronic acid in it. I had stretched out what I had by taking 1 a day for 2-3 weeks & then once my supply was gone, I started in the other product 2 weeks ago. For the past 2 weeks, the pain in my knees has been getting worse. I had checked Amazon again early this month and was excited to find it was back in stock! Yeah! Thank you so much for keeping this product available!

So I am 68 and my knee has begun giving out on me! It feels stiff and I did not injure it. It just began this stabbing pain if I turned it a certain way sometime after Christmas. I read the reviews on this and forgot about the word, "tablets." These things are so BIG , so HARD and , although I am able to swallow them , pills make me feel sort of nauseated. Not small ones; just horse pills like these. I will have to throw these out and will buy CAPSULES instead. I have taken 6 of these, one pill twice a day for 3 days and today my knee feels SO MUCH BETTER. I will still stop taking them since last night I got the Doctors' Best CAPSULES. But I admit to being thrilled with the overnight , dramatic improvement (so far) with this knee. I attribute it to these horse pills and am hoping the capsules work as well.

I've been running consistently for about a year and a half. My intensity and speed has increased in the last couple of months but unfortunately some pain began to develop in my knees. I just ignored it until it got too great. So I did some research and came upon this product. I chose this brand since I've used it in the past and got good results. I've been taking the Joint Complex capsules for the last 3 weeks and along with some rest and an improved nutrition, most of the pain in my knees have subsided. Additionally, there is more elasticity in the joints of my knees as well as ankles. I will continue to take it and recommend it for those who do a lot of running.

I had been taking this product for three years during a number of hip surgeries. After the final successful surgery, I stopped. Within a month I had major knee problems including bilateral baker's cysts. I hadn't put it together that I originally started taking this after a fall where I tore my medial meniscus in my knee. I was so focused on my hip it just slipped my mind until I was slapped in the face with the baker's cysts and knee pain. I was considering knee surgery if it didn't settle down and was resting and icing and taking anti-inflammatory drugs. I finally remembered that I had stopped taking this after my appointment where my hip joint was finally OK and immediately started again. It's been a week and three days and my knee pain is gone. The swelling from the baker's cysts is also gone. I highly recommend this to anyone with joint pain.
