How does this compare with other products for joint pain relief?

Bone-Up was recommended to me by a Nurse Practioner 4 years ago when I was first diagnosed with minimal osteoporosis. I have always been somewhat calcium deficient so was not surprised. I have been taking the product since. Upon having another bone density test taken recently, I discovered that my bone density has remained the same. I consider this a triumph as I am now a post-menopausal woman. I am now taking the Ultra Formula of Bone-up to see if I can improve my bone density.

Howard, I have used this product for several years primarily as a Calcium supplement for osteoporosis prevention. Fortunately I have never had joint pain so I can't really help you with a comparison to other products since I've not ever used any others. I use Cod liver oil and Emergen-C also which also would help with joint pain (if I had it) and may be the reason why I've never had joint pain. I also work out at the gym 3x a week. Sorry I can't help with a more productive response.

I have injuries which could cause pain but I don't have any. I am mainly taking this along with jarrosil for osteoporosis.

I've tried CosiminD, knox joint powder, a Costco brand, instaflex and a couple others. The ultra bone up had a great independent rating so I tried it. Had joint pain relif in 3 weeks and has worked great. (Stopped once and the pain came back in a week)

I have not really noticed any joint pain relief. I have worn out knees. I use this for bone density. I take two of these every morning, and another calcium supplement at night that doesn't have the joint stuff.

I don't have joint pain, I used it to increase bone density and it has done that.

The pain in my knees joints seem to be improving. I have taken many different over the counter drugs but this one seems to be the best. Thanks..

I normally use a shot glass and add the carrier oil (EVOO or fractionated coconut oil) depending upon the area I need to cover. Half a shot glass or 2/3 will last for applications for several days. Drop in several drops, start with 2-3. I also use Deep Blue without other oils in my big toes, knees, etc. Great for arthritis or joint pain! To me the stuff is magic. I haven't been pain free for a decade, toe hurting 24/7, until I met Deep Blue. I keep it in a glass roller bottle in the bedroom and it lasts and lasts, with some carrier oil in it. You can order those on Amazon as well.Always stores essential oils in glass containers! Good luck and let me know how it goes...

I agree with the other two responses. I used reviews to find Flexacil. Some gentleman had done extensive research on himself as a guinea pig trying different supplements and his conclusion was it is the best for the money. There were a couple that he rated as being a little better for pain relief, but they are twice or three times the money. So it's the best bang for your buck.

I purchased the TCJC from various manufacturers after reading many articles and reviews on the benefits of tart cherrys. Country Spoon and 100%Tart Montmorency Cherry Concentrate are in my opinion the best 2. Thickest and best benefit in relieving pain from joint issues. Using the concentrates are easier than eating a ton of real cherries. I did research FDA warnings to a particular companies about using incorrect wording on their website. It was not directed towards the benefits of Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate in general. " Here is a link :http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2012/ucm307676.htm... And that was in 2012. There is another article from 2006. I think for $15.00 for a 160z bottle from Amazon or local vitamin store or vitaminshoppe online, you can test it for yourself. There are many many comments posted on Amazon and other places about whether they benefited from drinking TCJC. I can tell you it did help me. What has helped prob the most though is taking this and doing stretches on the areas I have problems with. ie the space between my thumb and forefinger and hand in general. Stretching helped tremendously while taking the cherry juice. I will not stop doing either one. Why tamper with good results. For some good stretching go to :http://www.do-it-yourself-joint-pain-relief.com. Gary's instructions have helped me tremendously ! Can I ask why it is important as to which orchard these cherries were grown in ?

I use this product to reduce inflammation due to arthritis but don't see much difference in discomfort or energy level.

I may not be the best case for evaluating the oil. I suffer from arthritis and am always looking for something to relieve my symptoms. I am trying to get back into golf after right hip replacement but seem to aching all over now. I cannot afford to invest in unproven supplements and need to avoid the high cost ones like Ruby oil.

I prefer Tripernol, because it is oil in a gelcap, not powder in a capsule (which I have also used alternating with Tripernol). Both forms seem to be effective in helping eliminate my right knee pain. I like what I have read about Tripernol's careful production methods and that it was used in a study which showed improvement in asthma patients' lung function in addition to its anti-arthritis benefits.

Okay, I've tried this three times now and each time I ache afterward. I feel inflammation and joint pain, so there is something in it that is not working for me and it could be those two items. Thank you for posting your comment BnCMama.

I took the bottle to my doctor before I started taking it. He said he didn't (couldn't) guarantee that it would work, but there was nothing in it that would hurt me or not "play nicely" with my other medications. Both my husband and I take and we noticed a difference in our achy joints and back.

I use the powder MSM (4 gms per day) for joint pain, my husband uses the TriMedica liquid. They are both good. You could use either one with satisfactory results. I would not combine the two, there is no need.

One of the differences is the company who makes it..I am a massage therapist. I trust the company that makes Zeel.. Read the ingredients on both packages. When using either product, you need to use it daily and regularly.. If there is no difference in 1 month, move on.. I have found body work that increases circulation is key to alleviating arthritis pain

Ultra adds joint compounds(glucosamine, MSM and curcumin) I found it was noticeably more effective for arthritist pain.

I've not tried others. But my mother has. She said this one is weaker than the Tzone she uses on a regular basis. But just feels a sense of wellbeing on this one. Now my 80 yr old grandma feels it is really strong. Where she is sore the next day. Has for the hertz read the description.

Don't know Alleviate, but I got nothing out of this product. I now buy the Purity Products HA which I believe helps joint pain noticeably.

I found the same thing when I opened the bottle I received & someone commented on their review that they found the same. I took the capsules until they were gone but didn't notice a decrease in my joint pain.

For me, general inflamation and pain in joints. I do not have major problems but at 55 I can tell a real difference in joint pain and flexibility when I am using this product and when I am not.
