I just finished double dosing for my first sixty days and have begun to take single doses... I actually am noticing a difference... not spectacular but definately something.

Any body else take this? Did it improve over time? Do you think it's just psychosomatic?...
What brand are you using and why?

For some background I'm 27 and have nearly discoid lateral meniscii in both knees... the guy I saw about it most recently said I'll probably be a good candidate for knee replacement in my forties... yea me :disgust:

Well I don't take it but my dog does :). She has hip dysplaysia(spelling) and will probably at some point need hip replacement. She has been on it for over a year and sofar she doesn't seem to be any worse. I buy some Walmart brand that is around $13 for 200 1000mg pills. I give her 2000mg a day.
