I have taken Lakota on and off over the years for joint pain that affected various body parts, hands, toes, shoulders, knees, and hips. You need to take it for at least 3 months to feel the effects, plus a little longer for another 2-3 months. After 3 months I no longer feel any pain or stiffness in my joints, and with the extra 2-3 months, the pain and stiffness stay away for many months after I stop. 24-36 months later, if I feel any stiffness or joint pain returning, I start the regiment up again.
I can honestly say, Lakota really works, you just need to give it time to do its job. At 71 years old, I feel great, just like I did when I was pain and stiffness free in my late forties. Lakota keeps my arthritis in check and can enjoy my golfing and fitness activities.
