I developed pain in my right knee in December of last year. It started after I took a one hour walk around my neighborhood. The pain persisted and my Pilates instructor said I should see an orthopedist. When I finally got in to see the best one in town, a few months later, he said my knee joint was bone on bone. I was given a shot of cortisone to help with the pain. Someone suggested I take collagen. Cannot remember if it was the tech at the doctor's office, or my Pilates instructor. But I have been taking this one ever since, and today, the pain is completely gone! My Pilates instructor is amazed at the improvement. I will be taking this forever! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm Speechless - Can't Explain the Success/Effectiveness - TRY IT! *by on Reviewed in the United States December 20, 2016* I'm not sure if I'm nuts, or what ... BUT, about 5 months ago, I started walking... Somehow, or for whatever reason, I ended up with severe hip pain, and muscle pain... It "reminded" me of hamstring tendenosis ... and so, I left it alone... 3 months in, I decided to go to the dr. The pain was SO bad, I literally could NOT walk a lot of mornings when first getting up... NOR could I turn or rotate in my bed... It was extremely painful.... Although, I wasn't losing any sleep.I decided to go to the dr.'s to find out what is wrong... My thoughts going through my head, "Cancer, Hip Replacement, Arthritis, Torn Ligament..." Whatever ... It was on my mind and depressed me because I could no longer walk for exercise ....The Dr. put me on an anti inflammatory ... told me, "let's give it 30 days" - My instruction were to take the anti-inflammatory meds every 12 hours for the first 10 days, and then, back off to once a day OR better yet, AS needed ....To say the least ... I had to get a refill .... They helped ... but, "just enough" .... I knew something else was happening ....30 days later ... back to the dr. - He took an xray .... I got another refill of the anti inflammatory ... and also, was popping ibuprofen and tylenol arthritis pills like crazy ....The OTHER bad thing is .... My dr. also scheduled a colonoscopy for me .... after going to the consultation for that ... I found out that I was going to have to stop my anti inflammatory and ibuprofen at least 5 days prior to that ... BUT, that I could take acetaminophen .... So I bought a big thing of that ... and it "sort" of helped ... but, I was freaking out because "what if I can't walk" any ways .....Couple days later, in mid November of 2016, got a call from the dr with xray results .... "arthritis" ....Off to youtube to find out "any cure for arthritis dr berg" ..... and THAT'S where I came across the recommendation for THIS stuff ... UC II Joint Health Undenatured Type II .... Started taking this beginning of December ...... and frankly .... either my body just healed itself .... but, I have been OFF ALL ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and Tylenol, AND prescription ....I'm not exactly sure what this stuff does .... except, that it tricks the antibodies and distracts them, giving your join relief as well as being able to repair ....Eating right, also helps .... and of course, if you're a little overweight, perhaps, losing a little weight to help take the pressure off your joints ....Highly recommended .... and I second and support ALL of the positive comments ....One thing though .... you HAVE to take it on an empty stomach .... otherwise, your stomach acid will destroy it before it has a chance to "work"...Good luck .... Give it a shot.... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does your dog suffer from joint pain? *by on Reviewed in the United States September 13, 2026* We bought this as suggested by our vet for our dog who’s suffering from joint pain.
