So far I will not go without ,I have bad arthritis in my right hand,I've had to do injections periodically as the pain along with my fingers locking was so painful,not to mention the swelling,I bought the joint x one for me and the joint flex for my dog,we both started taking this on August 28th,and I'm not kidding you but 3 days into taking 1/2 ounce I have had no pain ,swelling or locking fingers,I could not believe it.But it's like a miracle and I have told several friends and people I know...
