Well, I drink the liquid; it's true. One-a-day, in this area of the country, cost's about $1.16 per 8 oz. bottle. That's less than a bottle of water and much less that Glucosamine, Chondroitin pills with the same amount of medicine. And if, like yonuh, you can't tolerate the ingredients it isn't gonna help. I have arthritis to the maximum power; think it took six months or so before I felt the benefits. It helped Dancing Dolphin's knee within days. I suppose it depends on the degree of hurt you're dealing with. But I'd rather take this than go to a doctor. I stay away from doctors. Before I tried this drink, I took the pills. But they're super expensive.
