Cosamin
Cosamin DS formula is a double strength joint supplement sold through multiple third party retailers and claiming to give you significantly greater results. They claim that it’s a pharmaceutical grade formula with chondroitin and glucosamine and easy to swallow capsules that will work better and longer. They even claim it’s the “#1 recommended brand by orthopedic surgeons and rheumatologists.” Cosamin provides the professional grade approach to joint pain relief and so much more. It all sounds pretty impressive, right?
Pros
Cosamin has chondroitin and glucosamine. These are essential to rebuilding your joints in order to reverse the effects of arthritis and therefore relieve pain in the future, also preventing it. For a certain period of time, with the right amounts, these ingredients can actually improve a rather chronic condition, or they can help you if you simply want to protect your joints from long term problems.
Cons
They only have 500mg and 400mg of these ingredients. Those are hardly amounts sufficient to show greater results, and they don’t have any anti inflammatories, which would actually be required to relieve pain now. We would actually recommend that you have at least 1000mg-1200mg of each, if not more for that matter. In essence, they have one piece of the puzzle, and they don’t even really fulfill the greater requirements of that. It definitely does not actually help you to get the immediate results that so many hope to expect. It does not have the aspirin to help you to stop feeling so disabled now! And that could be a big part of encouraging long term use. Obviously, if you do not see initial results within a short period of time, whether or not you are going to see results eventually, most will drop it, most will not continue to use it to get any future results. they rightly believe that it could very well be a waste of time and money.
Conclusion
We would not recommend using Cosamin. It doesn’t measure up, it doesn’t give you any of the results you want. We highly doubt it would even rebuild the joints if used over extended periods of time, and you will continue to suffer now. Cosamin is one of those products engineered to take as much money from you as possible while spending as little as possible to produce it. Unfortunately, this comes at your expense, meaning that you will never actually be able to achieve any results at all. Cosamin is lacking to say the least, and you would be far better off using something else.
