Hi everybody. I have very bad arthritis, no cartilage in my knees at all. I started with Glucosamine many years ago, but I didn't get any help until I added Chondroitin. Then I really noticed an improvement (after about 3-4 months), and xrays after a year or so showed that little bit of cartilage had actually grown back. After a few years of that, I found out about Shark cartilage, and started on that. It has helped even more -- I don't know what I'd do without it. But you have to take a LOT. I used Bell's, but I believe the other ones available are about the same dosage. You need to start with 12 a day, for at least 3 months, then if you have relief you can cut back a bit. Otherwise keep going longer with the 12 a day. But don't stop, if you stop your pain will all come back and you'll have to start over again (I know). I have been on the Bell's Shark Cartilage for about 6 years now, and continue to take a daily dosage of 2 caps (plus 2 glucosamine). I didn't get total relief, although many people do, but I hurt *much* less than I did before I started on the Shark. take care -- Michelle
