Doctor's BESTGlucosamine Chondroitin MSM + Hyaluronic Acid with OptiMSM Featuring Biocell Collagen, Joint Support, Non-GMO, Gluten & Soy Free, 150 Caps

I was honestly hesitant to try this product at first. As someone with a known allergy to shellfish (especially crabs), I was worried that the glucosamine, which is often derived from shellfish, might trigger a reaction.I held off for a while, keeping the bottle on my shelf and researching alternative supplements just in case. But after reading several reviews and checking the label carefully, I finally decided to try Doctor's Best Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM + Hyaluronic Acid with OptiMSM Featuring Biocell Collagen and I’m so glad I did.To my relief, I experienced absolutely no allergic reactions. No itching, no hives, no digestive discomfort—nothing. It was very well tolerated, and that alone was a big win for me. But beyond that, I started to notice gradual improvements that made a real difference.Pain relief and mobility:Within about 2–3 weeks of consistent use, I noticed that my joint stiffness—especially in the mornings or after long periods of rest—had significantly decreased. The dull aches in my hips and knees became less noticeable, and activities like walking, standing up from a seated position, and even light stretching felt smoother and more comfortable.Other benefits: Something I didn’t expect was how it seemed to help with overall connective tissue comfort. I’ve been recovering from some soft tissue and joint-related issues, and this formula seemed to support that recovery more than I expected. I pair it with other supportive supplements, but this product seems to be a cornerstone in my stack.No unpleasant aftertaste, easy to swallow, and no stomach upset—I take it with food just to be safe, but even on an emptier stomach it hasn’t caused issues.Final thoughts: If you’ve been holding off due to concerns about shellfish allergies, I definitely recommend doing your due diligence (always check with your doctor), but in my case, this product has been a total game-changer.It’s effective, gentle on my system, and has helped reduce pain and support healing in a very noticeable way.Highly recommended!

great product

Since collagen material in the body is what heals tendons I started taking this after suffering for 6 1/2 years with tendonitis in both shoulders and adductors. After 1 month I could totally feel some improvement & less pain - I know tendons heal slowly. I went on to heal (did need a torn rotator cuff surgery on one side) and have been tendonitis FREE for 7 years!!!Cartwheels! Happy Surprises: After 6 months of taking this product I realized my fingernails were healthier and not breaking quickly as they had my whole life, for me this was HUGE. Woohoo! Then at about 1 year, my thick brown, very long hair, which needed split ends trimmed every 6 months, seemed like steel! I couldn't believe it as I kept checking for split ends and there were hardly any to be found. I'm on autoship and plan to always take this product - I am so pleased with the results! My husband got tendonitis last year (we're in our 60's)and started taking this product too- he's now a regular user as he's seen results and less pain as well. TIP: Dosage is 5 capsules, I know...alot. Whenever I cut back I can tell the difference...so 5 is for a good reason. I personally take 2 each morning and 3 after dinner, it does not disturb my sleep like so many things do (I'm highly sensitive re: supplements, any small amt caffeine, eating after 6:30pm, all keeping me awake).WARNING - many Doctor's Best products look similar on the label - keep a sharp eye for the specific one that has these needed ingredients: BioCell Collagen II, Hyaluronic Acid, Glucosamine, & Cond + MSM

A few years ago I started having multiple aches and pains in my feet that grew worse when I resumed running/walking every day. (I'm a 53yo woman.) I've had great success with glucosamine products with my aging pets, and as the months dragged by with no improvement in my feet I decided to give Doctor's Best a trial run.24 hours after the first dose, I noticed a difference, but that wasn't necessarily the supplement, since the pain does vary from day to day. Now, ten days in, I can definitely say the supplement is helping. I still have some pain in the joint at the outside edge of my right foot, but it's MUCH better than it used to be, and the myriad pains in both feet are mostly gone. I'm looking forward to seeing how things feel after a month!BTW, others have noted the size of the capsules. I find that the size tracks with that of other, similar nutraceuticals; these are coarser products -- essentially, food extracts -- than most pharmaceuticals. It takes a relatively large amount to get the job done. I actually have no problem downing multiple capsules at once, and I'm not a large person. I'd be willing to take each capsule individually, though, given the improvement I'm experiencing.

I don’t typically leave reviews but I think this one deserves it. It’s Fantastic! I had knee pain due to dancing and other exercises I do 3 or 4 times a week, and it was getting worse. I have taken this for one month and started seeing improvement since week 2. Loved it! 😍
