How Do You Use Cosamin DS?
In order for Cosamin DS to do its work, the manufacturer recommends that you take three capsules per day until you have reached the desired results. It is possible to reduce the number of capsules you are taking depending on your preferences especially after experiencing relief from joint problems. The capsules should be taken with meals. They can be taken at different meals or all at once.
The Cost
In terms of cost, at the time of our review you could purchase a box of 108 Cosamin DS capsules for $32.85 on Amazon while 230 capsules would cost you $66.90.
Is There a Guarantee?
After carefully reviewing the manufacturer’s website, we didn’t find any mention of a guarantee or return/refund policy. It seems any returns and refunds will depend on the policy of the individual retailer where you purchase the product. In general, of course, the lack of a reasonable manufacturer refund policy tends to cast some doubt on the effectiveness of the product. The manufacturer does, at least, provide a toll-free customer service number.
On the other hand, Amazon customer reviews were strongly positive at the time of writing with only 8% (a low number for the health supplements category) of over 300 reviews rating it negatively.
The Conclusion of Our Cosamin DS Review
From all the information that we have gathered for our Cosamin DS review, we think that trying this joint health supplement could be worth a shot. What we like about this supplement is that it makes use of two key ingredients namely Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate both of which are known to have positive effects on joints. There are no additives or fillers that can compromise the quality of the supplement plus the supplement is gluten-free. And the customer satisfaction rate is high.
However, the price may be a bit steep for some, especially given the lack of a manufacturer-backed refund policy. And that’s why we worded our recommendation as giving it “a shot”. It could hit the target for you but, if it misses the target, you may have no recourse. And if it’s too expensive, there are certainly cheaper options available.
