Brief Answer:
Information conflicting!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

There are many persons who have reported positive results with this drug. However, it has not been cleared by drug certifying companies as no solid research has been done to establish this. To me, I will suggest that give it a try and see whether it really helps or not. If it does, continue with it and if it doesn't, stop it.

Because it is reported to be safe, there is no harm in using it and let's make the judgment ourselves. We really don't risk anything but for the charges doing so. It might be helpful to you, who knows.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
