CosaminDS contains exclusively research TRH122 Chondroitin Sulfate and FCHG49 Glucosamine HCl.
Since 1992, CosaminDS has been used to help people maintain joint health. The two main ingredients in CosaminDS, TRH122 LMW (low molecular weight) chondroitin sulfate and FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride, are exclusive to CosaminDS. They work synergistically to support and maintain overall joint health. Published studies have shown that CosaminDS works to maintain the healthy structure of the cartilage in your joints while inhibiting the enzymes that break down cartilage.
CosaminDS is the #1 brand recommended by Orthopedic Surgeons and Rheumatologists. It's the only brand proven effective in controlled, published, US studies to reduce joint pain. It contains the low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate and same quality glucosamine in the multi-center National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical trial.

 Convenience in a CapsuleFeb 22, 2006
By Creaky
"Boat"
This product was recommended to me specifically by my orthopedist following injections for my arthritic knees. I find it works better than the different brands of glucosamine/chondroitin I'd been taking for about a year on advice of my regular doctor. Taking two capsules a day after a few months (rather than three)is a true convenience and easier to remember in my schedule. The capsules are very easy to swallow.

love the product, hate the supplierJul 10, 2009
By S. coil
I think that this is the best glucosamine product on the market, but the supplier offered double dose version for about the same price as the normal dose and then shipped the regular version. I won't use them again.

 Healthy bone CartilageFeb 17, 2008
By C. Roberts
Several months ago I had laparoscopic knee surgery to repair a torn cartilege. I am a female imy upper fifties, and physically fit from exercise. I was concerned that as a result of this knee surgery, I would not have the strength in my knee that I have always taken for granted. My surgeon recommended this product to help build up and strengthen the existing cartilage. I have found the Cousamin DS to be a wonderful product and I am very confident that it has contributed to the overall health of my knee. I highly recommend it BEFORE and AFTER you have to have any knee surgery!

Don't use as much as they recommend !Jun 05, 2011
By Elder Statesman Doctor
"doctordavid911"
As a physician, I've looked into this and other products. This is the best one (most proved), HOWEVER, there is a caution I must give you. All the experiments seem to point to taking 2,000 mg of Glucosamine per day as being about the right amount to take to reverse cartilage deterioration and reduce pain. However, if you take 3 capsule of this per day you will 1) get only 1,500 mg per day, YET 2) get a toxic dose of Manganese ! I really believe the amount of manganese in this product is Way too much for someone to safely take 3 capsules per day for months and years on end. It will not poison you immediately, but over a period of years I think it could be dangerous.
Here is what I do instead: Take One (1) capsule of this per day, then take another 3 capsules of another cheaper glucosamine supplement that has 500 mg of glucosamine. That way you get the full 2,000 mg you need, plus you reduce you risk of manganese over-exposure by a factor of 3. If this is still too much, you could take one of these every-other-day to reduce it further, but likely one per day is safe.
Also, I would recommend you not waste your money on other products that tout how great they are because they have both glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate in them. You absorb around 94 or 96% of the glucosamine, however, the amount of chondroitin you absorb is around 6%, so I doubt that is doing you much good. I'd just stick to buying straight glucosamine, it's a lot cheaper that way and probably just as good. Personally the brand I use is the vegan version which is manufactured by DEVA. Best Wishes & Health to All !

The best results!Apr 01, 2009
By canyncarvr
I have tried a handful of brands/types over the years. This product is the best of all of them.
I've used products with/without MSM, with different ratios of chondroitin and glucosamine. In each case I 'ramped' the beginning dosage per instructions..then gauged the effect overall by stopping the use of the product.
Cosamin DS230 works considerably better than any other product I tried. I take it for knee join pain..both knees injured to the extent of complete multiple ligament failure. The difference with this product is from having pain all the time with every step (not taking it) to no pain at all. I won't be doing any more mountain climbing..it's not a miracle cure. Hiking with a 50-65lb pack isn't in the cards, but it is nice to be able to WALK without wincing with every step.
The capsules of this product are far superior to some of the pills (too large..too hard to swallow) of the other brands, too.
