I started with 1500 mg because that was the recommended dose. I got slowly quite a bit better over several months and them leveled out. I still had a fair amount of pain so the last few weeks I went to 2000 mg. 4 pills. Mine also have chondroitin in combination with the glucosamine. I am again slowly improving a little more and don't know how much better I can get at 2000 mg because I haven't been at that dose long enough. I have had absolutely no side effects from this stuff and it has been a godsend for me. I have also had good relief from some minor arthritis pain I also have. I just hope long term I am not doing myself any harm. From what I have read this stuff is not supposed to have any long term side effects. It is pretty expensive. I cringe every time I buy it. But I am no longer cringing in pain. So it's worth it. The DAMN doctors sure weren't any help. I am helping myself!
