Glucosamine
Glucosamine- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about GNC TriFlex™ Fast-Acting:
I'm a ballet dancer, and for the past couple of years my knees always grinded from the strenuous training. Over the past couple of months, my knees would hurt so much to the point where I couldn't even take walking for granted because my knees would grind, swell, inflame, etc.
When someone recommended that glucosamine was good for joints, I hit my nearest GNC and got this brand. It might be a little pricey, but Triflex is not joking when it says, "Fast Acting." It's been about three weeks, and so far, I'm in love with Triflex. The pills' effects kicked in about a 1 1/2 weeks into me taking them daily (about 3-4 times a day). My knees don't grind anymore and they barely hurt anymore!
My only qualm is that because of the required multiple intake, I have a tendency to not be consistent and forget at times. And it can get a little pricey, but all these are forgiven as they are helping out my poor joints. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with joint problems.Pros

Comments about GNC TriFlex™ Fast-Acting:
This is a fantastic product, I'm 24 and suffering from the beginnings of arthritis in my knees from years of brutal warehouse jobs. This product works amazingly well, about two days after I start another bottle I can start to feel the grinding in my knees ease up and the pain starts going away; usually about a week or two in my symptoms are practically gone. Usually one bottle will last me three months (1 month of taking the pills, and the effects last about another two months after that before I can start to feel the grinding return in my joints). I recommend this to anyone with joint pain, grinding, or popping, this stuff works like magic - however, make sure you get the Fast Acting formula, I've tried the regular formula to save a few bucks and it didn't perform nearly as well as the Fast Acting.

Comments about GNC TriFlex™ Fast-Acting:
My fiance and I use this product the way the container specifies in the directions-4 a day with food.My fiance had knee problems and they have all but gone away. As for me I have nerve damage in my right arm from work and computer use while taking online classes. I was off my supplements for some time and though it is slow improvement I can tell there is a difference. There was no improvement until I started taking supplements again, mega mens, triflex, and fish oil.
