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
