If you’ve tried using Ache Free to relieve joint pain, don’t give up if the results are not immediate. That’s the conclusion from what may be the longest study of glucosamine to date. Glucosamine HCL is just one of the four active ingredients in Ache Free - considered by many experts to be the most effective joint protection formula on the market.

For 12 weeks, researchers from the University of Western Australia monitored 50 volunteers who all had knee pain from cartilage damage or long-term wear and tear. Half the group took 2,000 milligrams of glucosamine daily, and the other half took a placebo (a placebo is a fake supplement). Almost 90 percent of the glucosamine group reported at least some amount of improvement after 12 weeks, compared to just 17 percent taking the placebo.

More importantly, most of the improvements for those taking glucosamine appeared AFTER eight weeks. In other words, many subjects who had noticed no relief at all in the first two months, eventually began improving. And because the overall trend was toward improvement, the authors of the study belief that continued use might provide steadily increasing relief.

The message here is that you shouldn’t be discouraged if results are not immediate. Even eight weeks may not be long enough to determine if a supplement will be effective for you.
