A lot of people that experience this issue discover that they were taking sub-optimal dosage. Many companies sell them in 500mg tabs and you'd need to take 4 to get the benefits.

For instance: http://www.healthsuperstore.com/p-na...sm-90-tabs.htm

Their recommended dose is 1 tab but that won't really help any one.

That's good to know. I've been taking 2/day and it's helping, but not like I'd hoped. So the effective dosage is 2000mg total, or 2000mg each?

Triflex sport from GNC- It is a higher potency of GLucosimine and chondrotin with MSM and white willow bark and boswellia for anti imflamation and pain relief!

I'm trying GLC 2000. No complaints thus far, but will be comparing price when I finish this bottle. But then again, I can use my parents' senior citizen discount, lol.

You should be looking for about 2g of Glucosamine. When I used Natrol I took 2 tabs twice a day.
