Initially, I didn't notice much of a difference. It does take a couple of weeks to really get into your system. Also, I had to increase the amount I took. I tried 1000 mg at first but now that I'm taking it twice a day for a total of 2000 mg, it seems to be working for me. At one point, I was taking 3000 mg but I don't know the medical ramifications of that dosage. My knees were really bad then but as soon as things got better and they weren't as overworked, I lowered the dosage.

I don't have bone on bone but I know it was really uncomfortable for me, so I can only imagine how rough it is for you. I hope it does help some.
