Re: It makes me SICK!!!!!, LOL!

Machelle,

I suppose it means it means the G & C " bricks " are grinded & blended in with

an orange flavor AND the bile that keeps it a liquid form. I haven't tried

the orange, only the " bricks " and the tri-chocolate something from GNC. The

chocolate chewy version isn't too bad, if you can get past that funky malt

taste.

I have found that taking the " bricks " after eating whole foods, or even a

protein shake, often allows for slipping the larger pills down without the

heavy gag reflexes. If I take them after a fasted period, I choke, gag,

cough, gag, and choke some more while trying to wash them down with a pint

or two of water. .And that is just not very pleasant.

So, I know what you mean on the choking bricks, but, the thing that keeps me

gagging them down is the fact that they seem to work for my knee joints.

Have you tried pummeling the bricks yourself and mixing them with cottage

cheese or yogurt or something like that? I often think about doing that,

but, then it would be one more ceramic gadget laying around that I need to

clean and we all would need to avoid breaking.

Any other ideas out there?

So.....I get some joint supplement, the glucos/chrond combo thing. The

pills are like small bricks. I am a huge baby about swallowing pills

and this thing feels like it is stuck in my throat all day after

taking it. I look around and finally find a liquid form last night. It

says on the bottle, " Great Orange Flavor " ......NOT!!! I choked it down

last night, but this morning it was about all I could do to not lose

my cookies in the sink. What exactly do they mean by " Great Orange

Flavor " anyway? Maybe if I am used to eating.........well, never mind

about that, LOL! Anyway, does anyone have any knowledge of where I

might find an unflavored liquid version of this stuff. I want to just

dump it in my shakes and call it good. The stuff I have is so bad it

flavors the entire shake like " Great Orange Flavors " .

Thanks for the ideas. I spent so much money on this liquid nastiness

I will choke it down just so I am not throwing away cash but then

maybe try those GNC Chocolate Malt things. If all else fails I will

play around with the small brick version. I was telling my honey I

just have to figure this out cause this is a supplement I NEED. I

don't know if it was coincedence or not but I gagged some down last

night and went to bed with the hurting wrists I had been babying all

day, when I woke up this morning my wrists were fine, even after my

UBWO which will normally get them aching.

Have a great day everyone!

Machelle,

Maybe the gagging orange is much quicker in response. For me, taking the

" bricks " , it generally takes about 2 to 3 weeks before I notice the

reduction in grinding in my joint from when I restart the stuff. On the

other hand, when I run out and forget to replace it, it only takes about 2

weeks for me to start noticing the joint pain.

Maybe the babying of the wrists allowed your body to heal a bit more than

previously. Also, if it is feeling like rain, my knees are the first to

report in on the storm coming. So, maybe the barometric pressure (what ever

that does to us) was pointing to a dry day in your neck of the woods, and

your wrists took delight in the relief.

Our bodies are fun to figure out, aren't they?
