Achilles Ultimate Tendon Support, 180 Capsules

bad product does not do as claimed

For fifteen years I have been experiencing increasing shoulder pain that had me gearing up for shoulder replacement. Along the way I learned that my pain was symptomatic of tendinitis, even though the x-rays showed seriously deteriorated joints. A doctor said there was no point in doing anything about the tendons when the joint itself was in such bad shape. An Amazon search for "tendon support" led me to Achilles Ultimate Tendon Support, 180 Capsules, by Atomic Tabs. Somewhere in the reviews someone mentioned Cissus, so I looked at that too, and ended up ordering both the Achilles and Cissus Quadrangularis Super Extract, 150 Capsules, Dietary Supplement for Joint and Tendon Pain, sold by Double Wood LLC . To make a long story short, in 36 hours my pain went from an 8 to about a 4, and stayed there. Several days later I skipped my supplements for a day and pain went back to an 8. Resuming supplementation, the pain level again reached around a 4 overnight. I am ecstatic! Here's the caveat: I am taking a boatload of supplements and cannot say with certainty that these two alone made the difference or if they were boosted by something that by itself made no difference. However, if anyone is experiencing tendon pain. like from the rotator cuff for instance, try these; it's worth a shot.

I tried this product and didn't really notice any difference, but that may be me that doesn't take pills like I should. Ask someone who does take their medications like clock work.

I cannot recommend Achilles enough for joint support.Here is how I used it: I run quite a bit - around 1,000 miles per year. We had a particularly bad winter this year so I was forced inside to do a lot of running on the treadmill in the Feb-Mar time frame. That ended up taking a toll on my knees - more than running on streets would have done - and I suffered from Patellar Tendonitis.I researched remedies which, of course, starts with strength conditioning and exercise but that was not quite enough. I read about various supplements and Cissus seemed to be the most promising. Researching further, I found Achilles and tried it.Since around April or May (it is now late November) I have used it pretty regularly...2 caps per day, twice per day (often three times per day). Sometimes I do stop taking Achilles in between bottles but my knees can tell when I stop and they do not like it.Achilles (and Cissus) is joint support. It's a supplement meant to strengthen the tendons around the joints. It helped me with Patellar Tendonitis. Don't go thinking this is a pain reliever or analgesic - it is not. This will not provide immediate relief for pain. This is meant to address the causes of certain types of pain associated with tendon weakness/fatigue...and if you are experiencing similar problems, I cannot recommend it enough.
