Labrada Nutrition Elastijoint, Orange, 350 Gram by Unknown

Why would you use sucralose?! It’s one of the worst sweeteners out there — and there’s so much of it 🤯 Please reconsider!

I have come to update my review with the new info. I thought this was an amazing product at first. In fact, I ordered a second month's supply because of that sentiment. But, I was disturbed by what I thought was the HIGH volume of artificial orange color which was passing through my kidneys daily from this product. So, I began to do some research. It turns out, taking daily supplements with Beta Carotene, which is used for the orange coloring in Elasi-Joint, has been definitively linked as a significant factor in a number of really nasty, and aggressive cancers. So, I decided to stop taking this product until I could get closure on this subject... that was 12 weeks ago give or take a few. I have now learned that the discoloration in my urine which I have been experiencing since I began taking this product, was NOT from Elasti-Joint as I previously assumed, but from DIM... a different supplement which I began the same day as this one, but which is white... so I just assumed the orange coloring in Elasti-Joint was the culprit. So, Elasti-Joint, I apologize for blaming you for making me pee orange... that said, please take out the cancer causing artificial colors so I can enjoy your product.

Helped immensely with reducing the acute swelling and achiness in my knees. My doctor said said MSM works as an anti-inflammatory. MSM tates very bitter to some palettes (such as mine, making it normally hard to consume for those who can detect it), but the concentrated flavor overcomes that because I can't detect it at all in this product. My great results were from using only 1/3rd scoop blended into 1 cup of milk (which mixes adequately in a blender). I like sweet and for me, that was the perfect amount of flavor. Plus the product lasts longer, while still providing good dosages of supplemental ingedients. Which I applaud this co. for being so generous to it's customers that way. I also timed this for once a day as a new dessert alternative and it tastes like an orange cream sickle shake, that I found to taste perfectly divine!! Unfortunately, I started having a lot of gassiness (which subtracts 1 star). So I read about the deleterious effects of Sucralose on the gut flora and regretably felt it's too poor an ingredient to continue using it, because I don't want to trade 1 problem for another. From former reviews, I believe the co. is long-standingly aware of customer objections to this ingredient, and I respectfully suggest considering offering a non-sweetened option for those who want to add their own preferred sweetener, etc. Or another suggestion to use Allulose that tastes like sugar, doesn't raise insulin, and is well tolerated because it doesn't cause gastro issues. If the sucralose is ever replaced with a healthier ingredient, I would go back to using this regularly. In fact I would likely divide the scoop to indulge in this pain-reducing and delicious shake 2-3 times a day!

I think this product does what it says it will do, it seems to help a lot with my joints, however it is so sweet I can barely use it! I find myself adding just a quarter of a scoop to 16 oz drink because any more than that is over the top and even that is too sweet. I've been using this for years but simply cant take it anymore.

I’ve been using this for over a year now and it’s helped to nearly eliminate some persistent joint pain I’ve had in my shoulder & hip. I’ve had cortisone shots in the past that gave temporary relief, but using this as part of my post-workout routine has been more beneficial than anything a doctor has done for me. …I’m sure the consistent exercise has helped too, but I still don’t let myself run out of this supplement.
