Iâ??ve only been taking 100 mg once a day for the last week. Almost an immediate improvement. Knee pain, inflammation & stiffness is gone. Lower back & ankle pain is gone. Easy to go up & down the steps, take longer walks & feel better overall.

I have been taking 300 mg for 2 yrs. I get more relief by raising legs up on pillow with a fleece blanket on it. Now I can sleep all night.
