Garden Of Life Joint Support Supplement - Wobenzym N Systemic Enzymes, 200 Tablets

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!

I began trying Wobenzym about a month ago by accident. I was looking for something to help with severe pain in my toes from overuse and went to the health food store to look for magnesium and Wobenzym was on the shelf next to it. When I read it was a natural anti-inflammatory I thought I'd try it instead of all the Ibuprofen I'd been taking. To give you a little background, I'd already spent about $1,000 on PT therapy for my feet. Besides pain in my toes from overuse, I'd been suffering from tendonitis of my achilles tendon for almost a year. Nothing seemed to help heal it. Also, I've had to wear gloves on my hands every night (to sleep) for almost 10 years (the slightest cold would bring on pain & unable to sleep w/o gloves). In the winter it was 2 pair of gloves and hands under the covers all the time or the pain would become unbearable. This winter was the worst ever (even two pair of gloves did little to keep my hands from aching). Anyhow, I started taking 3 tabs of Wobenzym (on empty stomach) 3 times a day and in just two days I noticed less pain in my toes. Within 10 days 80% of the pain was gone and what was even more amazing is that my achilles tendon was healing too AND also my hands!!! Before I started taking Wobenzym, I was wearing two pairs of socks at night (AND house slippers to bed) to keep my feet from aching and two pairs of gloves and waking up all through the night with pain in my hands and toes. Now, I'm sleeping with NO socks, and only one pair of gloves on my hands at night and my hands feel almost normal during the day (joints are healing). My hands have not felt this good for about 8 years! My achilles tendon is almost healed (no pain for almost a month) and my hands feel like they are 80% healed and my toes are healed!! I continue taking Wobenzym once or twice a day...yet sometimes I forget because I have no more pain. Wobenzym is a Godsend to my life. Two days before I started taking it I was asking God for help and considering moving to Florida for the winter (I live by the beach in California where it is damp). I've been telling friends and family about it. This is the first time I have ever taken the time to write a review. I hope it helps you, like it has helped me!

I ordered this Joint Health Supplement for my Mother. It arrived well-packaged. The Capsules are easy to swallow. My mother takes this Supplement for her Knee Pain. According to her, it seems to ease her Pain.

First things first: - I've been taking Wobenzym for 3 1/4 weeks so far. - No stomach cramps or pain, no nausea. I have a sensitive stomach, so I was surprised that it didn't give at least a little discomfort, but nothing so far. - I felt immediate results upon waking on Day 2. - I felt no results after Day 2 until about Day 10. - This week (Week 3) I've felt the most results. - The pain in my knees, fingers, hip, and shoulders has lessened noticeably. I feel better every day. - I worked up to the max dose, which I began taking around Day 10. - I've missed a dose or two everyday this week (but am taking at least 2 doses per day, morning and night), but I'm still feeling positive results. - I plan to update my review after 3 months or if I begin to experience the stomach pain that others have talked about. - I suggest giving it at least a month at the max dose to know for sure if it works for you or not. (Unless, of course, you have a bad reaction or intolerable side effects.) Now, a story . . . I have horrendous menstrual cramps. Like clockwork on Cycle Day 1 and Cycle Day 4, I experience cramps that radiate throughout my back and down into my thighs. When I woke up at 4AM on CD1 with horrible cramps, about 9 days after starting Wobenzym, I decided I'd try Wobenzym instead of the NSAID I usually take. The NSAID normally takes about two hours to fully work, so I thought I'd give Wobenzym the same amount of time. About 2.5 hours later I realized my cramps were gone. I felt great! I was working up to the max dose, so I took another dose of Wobenzym at mid-day and one before bed. No cramps! I also had relief from that 'disconnected joint' feeling I get during the first few days of my cycle. You know, where you feel kind of like there is too much space between your joints and your body is a little disconnected and wobbly? By CD4, when I normally have my second round of intense cramping, I'd worked up to the max Wobenzym dosage. I had no cramps at all. I'll update if next month is different, of course. Edited to add: Second month on Wobenzym - no menstrual cramps. I still feel great and have no joint discomfort. I try to take 3-4 doses per day. As a busy work-at-home, homeschooling mom there are inevitably 2-3 days per week when I only get 2 doses in. Seems to work for me, regardless. I got the 800 count on Subscribe and Save because I plan to take these forever.

Short Story: This stuff is amazing and it doesn't take long to start working if you're consistent. I'm not only taking it for pain caused by a bone tumor, but my mom is now taking it for a disc in her neck, and my mother-in-law for joint pain in her knees. If you have any pain or inflammation at all, this is for you. Long story: Since being diagnosed with an inoperable and rare bone tumor (on my pelvis/sacrum), I'm constantly researching anything that can help with the pain and (as a boon) anything that has evidence at shrinking tumors. More than once over the past four years, Wobenzym N has come up in research as something that *could possibly* have anti-tumor effects. I finally gave it a go in March not even thinking about the reduction in pain it could bring. Within weeks I was experiencing the benefits of these enzymes. The pain surrounding the tumor area diminished. The inflammation has all but completely subsided. Where I used to have daily pain anywhere from the 4-7 range, it's now usually in the 2-4 range. It doesn't get rid of the nerve pain, but I'm so pleased with what it does do. I notice a huge difference when I don't take it, to the point where I have to be sure I'm never without it. I have no idea if it is contributing to shrinking the bone tumor or not, but the pain relief alone makes it completely worthwhile. I've even got my mom taking it for a degenerated disc in the neck, and my mother-in-law swears by it for the knee pain she's had since she was 18. I recommend it to anyone I meet that has pain.

Been taking Wobenzym for more than several years now. Before that, I could hardly walk after playing basketball and had to depend on Advil which didn't really help much for the extreme pain in my knees. A local health food store manager first suggested I try the combination "Glucosamine Chondroitin & MSM". It did help a little and I continued taking it. Then a few months later he told about an amazing supplement called Wobenzyn which was getting rave reviews in Europe. He said that professional athletes in Europe were achieving amazing results during their trainings from taking Wobenzym. So I decided to try it for myself despite the high cost. I've been taking supplements for a long time and understand that your body can take a while to start to assimilate a new supplement. So gradually after about 6-8 weeks I started to notice a difference in pain level in my knees and started to take less Advil. And after 4-6 months I no longer have to take Advil at all and I could now walk normally after playing a few hours of basketball! To me that's a real "miracle" considering I was a 40 year old playing against 20-something year olds! Throughout the years I would run out of Wobenzym because of financial reasons and I noticed that I started to feel body aches that I haven't felt before. That definitely gave me undeniable confirmation that Wobenzym really does work! Every individual is different, so it may not work for everyone. But follow the directions carefully. Be sure to take it on an empty stomach. At least 45 minutes BEFORE a meal. And at least 1-1/2 hours AFTER a meal. BE SURE to take it with a FULL glass of water (8-10 oz.) Also IMPORTANT - start out slowly. Perhaps start with 1-2 tablets a day for the first week. Then gardually increase by 1-2 tablets each week. Normal dose is 3 tablets 2x daily. Advance dose is 3 tablets 4x daily. Since I've been taking it for a very long time, I have advanced to 5 tablets 2-3 times a day. I read that some cancer patients have taken as much a 20 tablets a day (5 tabs 4x daily) for an extended time. And have experienced complete remission with proper diet and exercise! Also don't under-estimate just how powerful your "mind" really is. This can work both ways! If you truly believe that something can help you and that it will work - more likely than not, it eventually WILL work! On the other hand, if you have "doubts & skepticism" and your "belief" just isn't there - there's a good chance it will NOT work for you. Even if the supplement really DID help, your "negative mindset" will NOT allow it to work for you! So "keep that in mind"! ... I wish you WELL! =) .

Didn’t really get any better. Didn’t effect my joints.
