Andrew Lessman TS 1-25

Who's picking up the Glucosamine & Chondroitin TS today?

FYI, if you didn't hear him say it, the daily dose he recommends is now 4 capsules a day. Used to be 5 but he has managed to fit more powder into each capsule so now it's 4 capsules per day.

I am interested. Have you used his Glucosamine & Chondroitin before? I have chronic pain in my joints and take way too much Ibuprofen. What about the Tumeric and Ginger TS? Do I need both in order to get relief? Sorry for all the questions, I just need some advice.

I bought his Glucosamine & Chondroitin TS last year and did so again tonight. But I buy it for preventative reasons so I can't comment on how well it'll do for chronic pain. I take it to give my joints what they need and hopefully keep them in good shape down the road.

My understanding is that the Glucosamine & Chondroitin are for the maintenance and repair of joint tissue while the Turmeric & Ginger soothe the joints. So perhaps both of those specials would do some good for you?

I tried these and didn't feel a difference and switched to Maximum Joint Effort and like that much better. Felt a difference very quickly.

I need to listen to the other part of the bundle to see if I want to try that.

I got the bundle. I was really only planning to get the Turmeric/Ginger but he talked me into it. I've got lots of joint issues & it might even help.

I wish he would do on air comparisons of similar products to help us choose which might be best for our needs. He has several calcium products, sleep products, etc.

Puritans Pride has a formula that is max dosage with only 2 tablets daily. I am surprised that Lessman does not put MSM in his.

Also, keep in mind this is made from shellfish which is very high in cholesterol, taking this has been shown to raise cholesterol, I just read an article about it. There are also vegetarian formulas, which may be a better option for some.

He used to have a product that contains MSM, too. He probably still does. He has a few different formulations for joints.

So tired of him. Wasn't he just on with a TS last week. I get my vitamins at Costco for way less.

The glucosamine/chondroitin product at Puritan's Pride is the HCI not the Sulfate form. The Sulfate form is the one that has the positive studies. Also, this formula has magnesium stearate which is used as a lubricant so that the machines filling the capsules don't stick. I like the fact that AL's products don't contain this.

I've used knock-off brands and I've used AL's and I just don't see the same good effects with the knock-offs. As to Andrew using scare tactics....really? I've never seen a vendor with a more calm, pleasant demeanor. He just presents the facts from research and reads reviews.

AL's Maximum Joint effort does contain MSM and turmeric.

Thank goodness no one is forcing you to watch him.

I'd rather pay a bit more for the quality he offers & get no fillers in my supplements. Not everyone is that picky. It is nice that we have more than one option when it comes to supplements.

I would try his supplements if he'd have a today's special on a women's multivitamin pack that had a good amount of calcium and viatmin E. I would like a women's multivitamin in individual packs and at least a 90 day supply. I like individual packs of vitamins because I "squirrel" them in different places- I like to keep a few packs in my desk at work, and I put 3 packs in my travel bag for weekend getaways.

AL's Maximum Joint effort does contain MSM and turmeric.

But, Lessmans still is made from shellfish. I have read this can significantly raise cholesterol levels. I feel much safer taking a vegan formula, even if it is not quite as potent, the benffits outweigh the risks for me.

I just did a Google search does shellfish raise cholesterol & no that's not true. The shellfish you eat may raise it from adding all the butter or tartar sauce. His products may cost a little more but are worth it since they contain no fillers & they are not tablets.

I used to take his Womens Complete that came in a pack. Since I take so many of his other products I switched to his Essential One multi that you only have to take 1 capsule per day. He does have it as a TS once per year. It should be a TS in July. You can only absorb around 500 mg of calcium at a time so you will not find more then that in his multi's. They make those really small ziplock bags for jewelry that you could put these in to leave some at work, in your purse or when you travel. He also makes a set of 12 empty travel size bottles approx. 3-1/8"H x 1-1/2" diameter each. I use the bottles when I travel & use the small ziplock to put some supplements in my purse so they are easier to get to when we stop to eat until we get where we are going.

You don't have to watch. I'm not tired of him. Wish he had a TS every weekend.

I don't need any of the glucosamine/chondroitin. I'm still on the fence about the Turmeric/Ginger. I have a bottle of the 400 mg Turmeric & an extra bottle. The TS is a good price just wish it was Turmeric 400 mg instead of 200 mg./200 mg. Ginger. Right now I have not been able to login to my acct on HSN for some reason.

I tried ALs product last year and it didn't do much. I talked with my Dr about what might help my arthritis and his recommendation was to find a product that has glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and hyaluronic acid. I did that and that's the ticket.
