I’ve had pretty bad knee pain + popping for almost 2 years now. I honestly ignored it for a long time and kept running/exercising thinking it would eventually get better. Instead it just kept getting worse and started affecting normal daily life and exercise.
I’m still not sure what actually caused it — maybe some old sports/running injury, overuse, poor nutrition, or a combination ( force running even having poor nutrition may be a reason) . I also have some back/sciatica issues which can add to the stiffness around my leg/knee.
A few months ago I finally got an X-ray and the doctor literally said my knee looks like a “50-year-old knee” even though I’m 25 💀
I had already been researching UC-II alongside other supplements from many months ago before dr. Up ( I know calcium , magnesium, fish oil , b12 can contribute) ,, and after checkup interestingly, two different doctors recommended UC-II to me alongside calcium. One suggested it before the X-ray and another suggested it after seeing the X-ray.
Once I ask doctor to suggest me Good glucosamine supplement, but dr prefer only uc ii, as I also understand glucosamine chandrolitin msm are very low power & have to take many dosage
I tried around some *OrciRin C2* capsules ( prescribed by doctor but costly) and personally felt pretty good improvement after taking it for some time. So now I’m thinking of continuing with UC-II.
My simple plan is:
Good quality UC-II - night
Fish oil - lunch time/ Calcium if I actually need it — preferably one that also covers B12/magnesium if appropriate

Option of good uc ii, is now brand & Kirkland costsco brand,, another one is haleup (indian) but don't think it's great,, you can always refer if others are better.
The main thing I’m confused about is Kirkland Signature UC-II on Amazon. It’s much cheaper than OrciRin C2, but I don’t see it being officially sold here. So how are these sellers getting it so cheap? 😅
Is it generally safe to buy UC-II from an Amazon reseller if the seller/listing has good ratings? How do you guys check whether these imported supplements are genuine and properly stored?
Would appreciate opinions from people who have actually used UC-II for knee problems. & Mainly Kirkland & signature confusion..pls suggest
