Found some joint relief

[Dennisp]

A relative of a friend told me about this and after using it for almost three weeks - it really seems to help significantly and I have significant arthritis all over and knee joint issues after several surgeries but no knee replacements as yet. I purchased an over the counter supplement at COSTCO called CELADRIN. I believe the cost was about $23 for 150 softgels and you take two sofgels per day. It seems to be working for me - much more than glucosamine condroitin. It also has a web site identified as www.celadrin.com.

Hopefully this might be of help to some of you as well.

Haven't heard of that one. I will check it out.

Asked the PA at my OS (used to be pharmacist) about this. He said he hadn't heard of it, but sure why not try it and let him know.

Checked pricing. Costco is good if you're a member, but since I'm not, I tried ebay. Found 180 soft gels of the extra strength stuff for $29 plus 8.50 shipping. So I ordered some. Will post and let you know how it works.

Here's the link if anyone else wants to try it.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Folks, do be careful of drugs and supplements you buy on the internet. The Consumer Association in the UK did a lot of laboratory testing on them and found a huge number that were mostly talcum powder and/or starch. Hardly any of the actual drug at all. Others were so badly put together that they never actually broke down in the gut but were expelled in exactly the same form as they were swallowed.

Here is some information regarding this:
Inflammation and Celedrin
by Carrie A. Corson, from the July 2005 newsletter
Recently there has been a lot of concern reported over possible dangerous side effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs. As a result of these reports, many people who suffer from osteoarthritis are searching for alternatives. One such alternative is an all-natural product called Celedrin. Celedrin is a patented, complex blend of special esterified fatty acids reported to decrease inflammation and lubricate cell membranes throughout the body. This helps restore fluids that cushion bones and joints in order to promote flexibility and mobility. Because of the reduction of inflammation, surrounding tissue reportedly has the opportunity to promote healthy joints.
Celadrin can be taken in conjunction with glucosamine sulfate and other natural approaches for osteoarthritis. Celadrin may actually help glucosamine, which helps to re-build cartilage in arthritic joints, to work faster and more efficiently in building joint cartilage and promoting joint health.
Celadrin is available in both oral and topical applications. Celadrin cream can be applied to affected areas on an as-needed basis. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations for oral applications. Since Celadrin is a fatty acid complex, softgel capsules may provide advantages in absorption over tablets or hard gelatin capsules (Natural Facts, Doctor Michael Murray, March 2005).
Numerous studies have been conducted on the safety and effectiveness of Celadrin. Results of these studies have been published in both the Journal of Rheumatology and the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. Scientific Acute Toxicity and Ames test screening have validated Celedrin’s safety. However, as with all supplements, if you have questions about whether Celadrin is right for you, check with your health care practitioner before adding Celadrin to any supplement regimen.

I dont think and cream would have helped me or anyone in a bone on bone situtation. With sever arthritus.....but yes some people it might work on.....

Jo, that's awful! :shk: This particular company says they buy direct from manufacturer. Boxes are sealed and have expiration dates 2 year out. Sure hope they are on the up and up. Otherwise I just wasted $37.50!

Never-the-less, I will try it and my husband also for his shoulder and we will compare notes and let you all know how it works. I think this will be a month and a half supply for us both. Should be enough time to get some results!

So did the ones bought by the CA. They all looked perfectly legitimate. But there are some that are okay. Just putting in a small warning that you can't be too careful of stuff you buy on the internet or from ads in magazines, etc.
