Great for Temporary Relief of Arthritis Pain!
I’ve had arthritis in my knees for quite some time but bad enough that I’ve had to walk with a cane for over seven years now. I’ve found relief with cortisone shots, but they are expensive and do damage to your remaining cartilage. Plus, when they wear off after a couple of months, all the pain comes rushing back and you’re in absolute agony for several days, if not weeks. So I was desperate to find more reliable and steady relief that wouldn’t also destroy what’s left of my knees.Enter Manitoba Harvest Hemp Oil! It’s one component of a combination of supplements I take to get decent relief from arthritis pain. I take 3 capsules at a time, usually in the morning, along with Health Delights Turmeric Chews (1 to 2 of those at the same time), and the relief is fairly quick and lasts all day. It works even better if I also eat something with black pepper on it, like eggs or something else I can put pepper on, because it helps your body absorb the turmeric. I find the two supplements in combination work better than either by themselves and these particular brands to be better or just as good as more expensive alternatives. Manitoba’s Hemp Oil, for example, is easy to swallow in gel capsule form, has no taste or aftertaste going down (although they are rather large and you do have to take more than one), are inexpensive compared to CBD oil, and just as effective. I’ve also taken various brands of liquid hemp oil by mouth by itself and the heavy plant taste can be off putting. Plus the oil, once opened, can expire very quickly. Liquid CBD Oil has a much milder taste, you don’t have to take as much, but is also very expensive.I find the turmeric chews to be better and more bioavailable than more expensive powdered turmeric in capsule or raw powder form, even if the powdered forms already contain black pepper. The chews are like eating real food, which your body prefers to get its vitamins from, and the relief is quick and long lasting. I once tried a very expensive capsule form, which also contained ginger and black pepper, from a brand of supplements I like a lot that you could only get from one of the TV shopping networks, but it wasn’t nearly as effective and upset my stomach. I was in a vitamin store that was giving out free samples of these chews when they were first released to the public (Health Delights has a whole series of supplements in chew form, including B-12 and probiotics) and the turmeric was one of the ones that I tried. I felt amazing for the rest of the day after trying just one, but these are rather pricey at $20 per bag. I bought a bag and confirmed that yes, it was this particular form of turmeric that worked (and not necessarily in combination with any of the other sample chews I took that day). So to me, the price is well worth it because these worked, especially in combination with the hemp oil. Garden of Life has also come out recently with a series of CBD oil gel capsules either by itself or in combination with other supplements, one being turmeric and black pepper. The capsules are much smaller and I only need to take one, but the price can be north of $40 per bottle of about 30 capsules. By itself, it does give me some relief, but I find it works better if I take it with the Manitoba Hemp Oil and turmeric chews, if for no other reason than it already contains the black pepper. I also take the three supplements together when the weather is colder and my knees are particularly susceptible to the temperature change. In milder weather, the Manitoba Hemp Oil and turmeric chews are enough. All-in-all, this combination is far cheaper, just as effective, and a lot safer than cortisone shots or prescription pain meds. Eventually, I plan to try stem cell therapy to help rebuild knee cartilage, but in the meantime, these supplements are very effective and way better than glucosamine and chondroitin.

Feeling a bit better…….
I’m giving 4 stars because I have only been taking these for a week. I am contributing feeling better to these gels. I’m not sure if it’s them or not really and I don’t want to stop taking them to find out! As far as helping with joint pain, I haven’t had that. I think maybe they are helping with my colon if you know what I mean!😂 People say they are huge. But they are just the same as any other supplement to me. I have no issue with the size.I’ll update if I see a vast improvement.

WOW
OMG. I have been in pain for about two years following an injury at work. Pain pills (prescription and OTC) have done very little to help me. I started getting concerned about what all that was doing to my body so started researching natural alternatives. I also started hearing great things about hemp and cbd oil. After trying other brands with little results, I went ahead and tried these. All I can say is WOW! I took one as soon as they came and my pain disappeared. The only thing I didn’t like was it made me hyperactive and I had trouble going to sleep that night. Maybe I am just weird or maybe not being in constant pain helped getting my energy back. Definitely worth a try if you’re looking for a natural alternative to pharmaceuticals. If you’re scared to take such a high dose all at once, you can pierce a pill with a pin and squirt it into a dropper bottle and dilute it with another hemp oil product of your liking. I have one prepared for use when I need a little boost but not a whole pill since they tend to keep me awake if I take them to close to bed time.
