I personally have been getting my G/C at GNC -- which, recently dropped the price drastically (more than 1/2) -- I think it was about $13 for 120 tablets -- plus we save more when I buy on the days that they have sales. I give him 1 a day.
I've been the adopted mom of 11 year old Beauregard (some of you may recall when he needed a home when his family in Peoria IL were relocated to New Zealand) since November of 2002. We started him on G/C right away -- we give it to our Buhund with HD, and knowing his age, and that he has suffered from arthritis in his elbow; we figured it'd be the right thing to do. I've noticed in the last few weeks that Beau seems to really be doing well on it! Now, when I mention the "T" word (treat) he gets so excited, and jumps, leaps, turns, spins, and of course barks ... Heehee ... He barks with so much energy that his front end picks up (from a sit) .. I'm afraid he's going to knock himself over!!! He'll even chase me down the hallway when I mention anything food related, at a full Berner gallop. He also used to 1/2 jump up on me thing.. from a sit .. Now he's doing it more often without the sit, standing up -- oops, he's taller than me now! I'm so happy that he's feeling so good, especially knowing his age. He even LIKES the cold and snow!! Which really surprised me -- only once I've seen him get up a bit slow after laying down outside for a while. Of course, he may not like the cold at all, but may like the rub down and feet/belly cleaning he gets when he comes back inside!! He's such a sucker for a rub. He's like a motorcycle ... One or two scratches gets that back foot going, then there's no stopping him! he's such a comedian. I love him dearly -- can you tell? :-D So .. I'm a big pro-G/C person -- now I need to take it myself (oh my aching back!)! --Tracey & Beau (who says I'm GERIATRIC! HA! I jump in your lap!) ------------------------------ If I am not mistaken, the Costco Generic is formulated & mfg. by Nature Made Vitamins (Pharmavite Corp).
