I did a search and didn't find another thread about this supplement.

I am seeing a lot of reviews saying how wonderful it is, but wonderful for what?

I would like to know if you have been taking this, what reason(s) and what effects have you experienced. If you take it to not get a cold and you don't get a cold, that's not what I'm looking for, you may have never been getting a cold in the first place.

I'm looking for info that you started taking it for X and saw benefits.

What form do you take it in, how often, how much and how long have you been taking it?

My BF bought me some in capsule form, 1250mg. Says to take it 2x a day.

Please share your firsthand experience with this supplement.

TIA!

I use the oil most days for rubbing on my knee, it's an anti inflammatory. I bought some softgels and use them some days. I like the oil for my knee as I feel it does help. Many ingest the oil and I do now and then.

I have my favorite supps and can't put this one there but it's good.

Apparently there hasn't been much research done on it. I have never heard of it before.

Here's one result of a quick google search of this supplement:

Apparently, a form of it was found in King Tut’s tomb. That is what interested me and the fact that there had been over 200 clinical studies done on this substance. I read up on it after surgeries I had this year. I used it externally and internally and saw no accelerated healing from my two surgeries. Healing progressed at a pace expected by the doctors. I saw no real reduction in pain either. Note: taking it internally caused gas and the burps tasted horrible. I suppose results may vary from person to person. The only thing I saw to recommend it was it is pretty cheap to purchase and try. Maybe it will work for you.

I find when I rub it on my arthritic knee I get reduced pain. I find this to be true with Comfrey Oil rubs too.
