What is GLUCOSAMINE? What's MSM
No snake oil this. Glucosamine really helps protect against the age related degeneration of cartilage. Those people who believe that supplementation is unnecessary because the diet should provide the nutrients, will need to eat a lot of shrimp shells. A LOT. (Maybe lemon and drawn butter will help with that, but I doubt it.) So if arthritis is a disease you are not looking forward to, you need to take this. Personally, I don't want to take another pill every day either.  However, I'm already in chronic pain, and I don't want it to become unbearable when I'm 10 or 20 years older, when I'd probably get arthritis. If you want to treat arthritis, the only real treatment is prevention. The only prevention is Glucosamine.  Along with the Glucosamine, VIVA LABS has included MSM (aka methylsulfonylmethane, aka DMSO), which is the biologically available form of sulfur. Why Sulfur? Because its effective on reducing the pain of osteoarthritis, as well as stress from endurance exercise, rosacea, hemorrhoids, even possibly improving exercise performance, and varicose veins.  I've tried a lot of VIVA LABS products, and have consistently been pleased. Its a name I trust.<br />The company gave me a bottle the product to try out, and then write my honest appraisal. If I get arthritis in 20 years even if I took this every day, I'll come back and update my review. So check back here in 2035, if you want to discover if this stuff really worked.
