What Is Cosamin?
Cosamin is a “pharmaceutical grade” joint health supplement that is meant to be taken both as a preventative measure and as a solution for joint damage and pain. Some have labeled this product the “#1 recommended product by orthopedic surgeons and rheumatologists” but where this number comes from goes unstated. Cosamin is a sulfate supplement. The use of a term such as “pharmaceutical grade” is generally included in an effort to make a product seemingly stronger than other non-pharmaceutical grade competitors. Cosamin is not a prescription drug and is made using the very common ingredients glucosamine and chondroitin.
Benefits
The sad fact is that, while Cosamin uses established ingredients, this product fails to implement these ingredients in established amounts. Without using the correct portions a supplement cannot be effective.
Side Effects
There are no side effects associated with Cosamin at this time. There is always the potential for an allergic reaction when starting a new supplement so it is important to note any changes in breathing patterns or the onset of hives that may occur during an allergy attack.
Conclusion
This product comes across as arrogant and insubstantial. You will not see even a fraction of the positive results that Cosamin promises. Quite frankly this is a product that we would encourage you to avoid even if you were offered money to take it. We would suggest skipping this product entirely and finding something with a more established and proven foundation. We do not recommend the purchase or use of Cosamin at this time.
