Garden of Life Joint Supplement for Men and Women - Wobenzym N Systemic Enzymes, Clinically Studied Formula for Healthy Joints, Mobility, Flexibility, Post-Exercise Recovery, Gluten Free, 100 Tablets

It really works, I strained my left thigh muscles over 2 years ago, I tried stretching and massages and it helped, but not until I started taking these enzymes that it finally the pain is almost gone. The only draw back is the price, don't understand why it's so expensive

I haven't taken the product as per package instructions yet. Most days I only remember to take 3 tablets once a day and also, because it needs to be taken 45 minutes before you eat, I wasn't getting up early enough to allow for that. What works for me is keeping it by my bedside and taking it when I get up during the night. I wasn't sure that it would do anything at all. However, this product is the only explanation I have for the dramatic improvement in my health, pain level, and vitality. I have been disabled with systemic osteoarthritis since 2009. I was beginning to get some of my life back when in October I fell and injured a disc in my sacrum. Five days later the nerves in my right leg were attacked by the shingles from the back of my waist right down to my toes.In March I stopped eating anything made with wheat and that dramatically lowered inflammation everywhere in my body and that helped with a great deal of the pain I was experiencing. But I was slow and changes in the weather affected me negatively. I was beginning to improve this summer, getting some strength and mobility back. Every burn mark on my leg and foot has a mind of its own as well as whatever I do physically affects the injured disc. After a couple days of taking just 3 tablets/day I noticed an increased lessening of pain everywhere. Much more than I noticed after a couple months of no wheat. After a week, I began having boundless energy! I used to have to rest every couple of hours and put my leg up. Now my recovery time is negligible. I had arthritic nodules on top of the arch of both of my feet, making it extremely painful to walk very far (a block). It was debilitating and frustrating. Today, I was actually able to put on a pair of sneakers and walk around a couple blocks with NO after effects. I was diagnosed with end-stage arthritis of my left knee and though walking on the sidewalk starts to get a little uncomfortable, on the grass it doesn't bother me at all. My speed all of a sudden picked up from shuffling to at least 2 mph. I want to go to the gym and see what I can do!!! At this rate, maybe I can get back into speed walking by the end of the year. Another AWESOME improvement is the ability to walk up steps. Even my 3 steps to get into my house was a problem and the final step I couldn't manage without being bent and pulling on the railing to help lift me up. I am SO pleased that now those 3 steps are like nothing at all and I don't even need to hold on!!!. My Mom lives in the apartment above mine and I haven't been able to go upstairs to visit her in several years. This week I CAN!!! Thanks for my life back, WOBENZYM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am writing this review after 4 months on a new regime in which Wobenzym is a key factor. I have been diagnosed with "fibromyalgia/lyme/yeast/ibs/thyroid/perimenopause", etc... I am 46 and have spent the last 5 years visiting over a dozen doctors, having unending tests and paying thousands of dollars out of pocket. I have seen traditional doctors and naturopathic doctors, and have tried everything from acupuncture to ingesting magma, cortisone shots to adderall. In the end nothing helped my never ending joint pain in my hips and shoulders, my intestinal problems, extensive swelling all over and breast pain, and foggy brain and vision.FINALLY however, I seem to have stumbled on the combination that has slowly and surely been balancing my body and turning back the clocks. Instead of feeling 60+ as I have for the last few years, I have started feeling like my "old self". I have had far more energy and have been able to start running, my pain in my shoulders and hips is essentially gone, my GI issues seem resolved (I have been able to occasionally been able to eat wheat, sugar and dairy which I haven't been able to eat for years), and I have actually been able to back up 4 levels on my reading glasses!The solution seems to be threefold, and makes sense overall, as all the systems involved in the problems are involved in the solutions. In November I started on a low-dose "pill" (mircette generic) in order to alleviate ovarian cysts, which made me feel somewhat better but most of my symptoms still remained. A few weeks later I started up a combo of Wobenzym and Dr. Ohhira's probiotics Essential Formulas Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics, Original Formula, which seemed to me like they may address my remaining symptoms.I have continued to use this trio, and have been BLOWN AWAY by the results!!! I definitely move backwards if I stop any of them, but bit by bit I have been able to get totally off of most of my other supplements including adrenal and thyroid. I am sleeping better and have far more energy. The strangest thing is that my body seems to be looking more like it used to, like going back in time.I have had some complications with taking both the Wobenzym and the Dr. Ohhira as they both need to be taken alone, away from any food. And they both certainly have the ability to cancel each other out as well. So I have moved toward taking 4 Wobenzyms on waking with the pill as they seem to be somewhat energizing. Then I take 4 again a few hours later and then again maybe early afternoon. I can't seem to take them later in the day as they make me feel a little hyped and I can't sleep. Then I take 2 or 3 Dr. Ohhira at bedtime, far after dinner, giving them overnight to work. I know they say to use it twice a day but can't fit that in.The threefold "cure" seems to be resolving problems in my gut (always primary, but no other probiotic has ever really helped!), yeast issues, joint issues, overall inflammation, as well as hormones and brain functions. My whole body finally feels like its getting balanced and my future feels a lot brighter.The Wobenzym and Dr. Ohhira are not cheap, and in the long run I will definitely take a punch in the wallet but the solution is far better than spending the money on countless supplements, tests and doctors that didn't make a dent in the problem.Good luck if you are going through any of this same hell. Hope your solution is right around the corner as well!
