It does help!
I am 35 years old and have osteoarthritis stemming from several knee injuries playing football. The pain and swelling have always been manageable until about 4 years ago. The doc said there is nothing I can do but toggle between NSAIDS and TyIenol for pain and swelling - I am not a fan of stronger pain killers and the groggy head and potential dependencies issues. Plus they don't last much longer then the OTC stuff anyway. The pain has consumed my life, I don't remember what is like being pain free. Its always there and you learn to just function through it. I can't exercise or play with my kids due to it flaring up and when I'm on my feet too much I suffer greatly. I have tried all sorts of chondroitin/MSM pills in the past and the all seemed to help with the movement of my knee but the swelling was always there to cause that pressure pain. had never heard of this company or the product so I was a little skeptical if it would help or not, but its combination of herbal anti-inflammatories and the addition of some of the metal minerals was something new. I am also a biologist and understand the role of metals in absorption and cofactors - so I decided to give it a try.I really didn't feel a difference until the 10th day and then started to notice that my knee wasn't swelling as much, felt loose and the deep burning pain was gone. Don't get me wrong, if I'm not careful it can still swell and ache, but its just not as bad or as long. I still take an occasional tylenol but not near as much. I do honestly believe the product works and will continue to use it.

An effective supplement for joint pain sufferers
We have been taking Ostaflex along with Doctors Best Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM every day for the past three weeks and have noticed a definite improvement in our wrists, knees and ankles. Ostaflex has the vitamins and minerals needed to compliment a regular glucosamine/chondroitin supplement and enhance its effectiveness. Seems like a very good combination to us and we plan to make it a regular part of our lives.

MY WIFE ORDERED IT & I NEVER EXPECTED IT TO WORK
I have severe knee problems to the point where both have to be replaced.Because of a heart condition, surgery is out of the question.I have been in severe pain for years, using a walker to get around.My doctor prescribed pain medication that makes me extremely nauseous but out of desperation, I have been taking this medication for over 2 years.After reading some encouraging articles about Ostaflex, my wife ordered a bottle for me to try.Not expecting any results, I still took the Ostaflex.After taking Ostaflex for almost 1 month, I noticed a large improvement in my knees.I have not been using my walker at all.Only a cane.I have stopped taking my pain medication now for almost 4 weeks and the pain literally diapered.Taking Ostaflex was the only thing that I have been doing differently with amazing results.This is not a placebo effect because I never expected any results whatsoever.Every week, I added them to my daily pill box.and honestly forgot about them.I never had any hopes of Ostaflex doing anything for me but since taking it, I recommended it to several friends and have since ordered 3 more bottles for myself.This stuff honestly is really working for me and I highly recommend trying it...

Causes pain instead of relieving it!
Should not have listened to my coworker and bought this relatively unknown product to help with joint pain in my knees and ankles.This product has inflamed pretty much all my joints, from my wrists, to my ankles and feet. It's so bad that I can no longer open bottles that require a twisting motion. That's pretty much 90% of bottles.I don't know what is in this product that is causing all my pain. I never had this issue when I took osteo bi flex or any other msm and chondroitin product.Definitely WON'T buy again and I'm just hoping the inflammation goes away soon.

I have had knee problems for close to 20 years ...
I have had knee problems for close to 20 years with many surgeries trying to fix the problem. I have tried many supplements over the years and nothing has ever worked. I am on my second bottle. I did not notice a change after the first bottle so I decided to see if I just needed more time so I bought a 2nd bottle. I didn't feel that they were working towards the end of the 2nd bottle so I stopped taking them. I am finding my knees have more pain again since I stopped taking them so I will finish this bottle and get a third and hope it just needs time and consistency of taking them.

Joint Relief for the Jaw
I've been dealing with some troublesome symptoms of TMJ disorder for years now, with little success in the relief department, despite having seen numerous medical professionals (3 physical therapists included). No doubt stress is a factor, but no one wants to always hear that scapegoat reason and be told to continue doing costly physical therapy, alongside the occasional ibuprofen for pain management. I found that ibuprofen was no longer cutting it, and it's not advised to continue upping the dosage to achieve an effect; so I searched for a more efficient pain management product: ladies and gentlemen, this is that product! When taken as directed (2 pills daily), I noticed a surprising difference in the ease with which I could maneuver my mouth. Please be mindful that this probably won't "cure" TMJ disorder, but it does wonders managing the debilitating symptoms, especially the notorious crunching noise/sensation when widely opening and closing your mouth. I started experiencing prolonged relief within a week of using this product as directed. If you've got TMJ problems, look no further than this for pain management!

Don't bother it's not worth the extra money...
Don't waste your money. It worked the same as the others and it only gets high ratings because they offer a free bottle. It also made me break out quite badly. Not worth it.
