Suffer with joint pain? Read how the GN testers of GOPO® Joint Health rose-hip supplement are getting on

I have now been taking these capsules for several weeks and have not noticed any difference to my joints. I haven’t recommended them to anyone else and am not sure at this stage if I would., they are easy to swallow and have not affected my stomach at all. I will carry on taking them but doubt I will buy them once I have used the 3month supply.

I took the full dose of 6 tablets for the first 5 weeks, I am now on the maintenance of 2 tablets twice a day.

My ankle swelling has reduced and made a big difference to my mobility. Knee pain when stair walking has greatly improved, although not pain free. My finger joints are still painful, but I have noticed a fair amount of improvement in these, and they are less swollen too, except for my little finger which is the worse with pain and stiffness, and I have felt no improvement there as yet. Elbow joint pain seems to be better too.

I have spoken to friends about these and they are interested on hearing the outcome at the end of my trail. I described them as being a natural product from rose hip, to help with the care of joints. I am looking forward to continuing with this and see if further improvements occur.

I am feeling a lot less stiff and my knee is much improved from when I started taking the supplement. It’s hard to decide whether this is due to GOPO or other factors. I have just finished physiotherapy for my knee and the exercises definitely helped. We’ve also just adopted a dog from a family member so I am walking more which is improving my joints. What will interest me is whether the symptoms return when the trial is finished. If it does happen, then I will be buying more immediately. I find the capsules quite easy to swallow with water. I haven’t really spoken about the trial to anyone else as not many of my friends seem to have stiff joints. I really appreciate the chance to take part.

Now down to the maintenance dose having taken the full dose for four weeks. My fingers and elbows are feeling much better with the stiffness and pain gone.
My knees still hurt but I am sure not as much. I would encourage anyone else to try this product and I am happy to continue taking it .

I ‘m 68. I wanted to try GOPO as I have joint aches and stiffness but have no tried any supplements since trying glucosophate years ago, with no noticeable difference. My first impressions were; packaging eye-catching (since you asked this question; it does not make much difference to me) and the size of the capsules were daunting. The instructions said to open the capsules if the size was a difficulty, so I did so, with ease; they just pop apart. I’m afraid I haven’t noticed any real difference yet but it’s early days; possibly my fingers are a little less stiff in the mornings. I’ll persevere!

This my second review of the capsules and I think I can see some slight improvement in my joints though not a dramatic improvement it is noticeable.
I have spoken to a couple of friends about the trial and the capsules and they await my final thoughts on the trial in a month or so.
I would encourage people to at least try the capsules for a period of time at least as some improvement to your pain relief is a godsend I am not as stiff when first getting up in the morning so am certainly going to continue using them in the future.

I have had no problem taking the capsules but also have not noticed any improvement in my joints. Early days, I hope. At present I would not be recommending them unless I notice a difference by the end of the trial.

This is my 2nd feedback. I am really struggling to swallow the capsules, they get stuck in my throat and make me choke, this is leading to me dreading taking them every time. I will try sprinkling the contents on food instead as I see some others have done. I have not mentioned them to anyone, because honestly I do not have anything positive to say, and I was always told if you don't have anything positive to say keep quiet. I will persevere however I am finding it really hard work - sorry! Just being honest!

So, this is my second feedback report at around 6 weeks. I’m fine with the supplements; haven’t spoken to anyone else about them (no-one I’ve been chatting with has joint problems: eyes; digestion; skin etc!); I’d describe them to someone as tasteless & easy to swallow, similar to an antibiotic capsule; and I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in my finger joints (less swollen & stiff). Thank you for the opportunity to test this supplement.

I have now been taking the GOPO tablets for about 5 weeks. I am noticing less stiffness in my feet and ankles and as I'm not doing anything else different would suggest that this may be due to the GOPO tablets. I also haven't succumbed to the colds that everyone else around me seems to have had, which is another benefit. I do find the tablets too big to swallow easily, so it's a relief that they can be sprinkled on food.
I echo all that has been said about the well designed packaging and easy-to-read instructions, but would echo Beacon61's comment about the amount of plastic used in the bottles, which don't need to be so big.
I will definitely continue with this trial.

I am now a week into my second tub unfortunately I haven’t noticed any difference I ve done the five weeks on 6 tablets
Nothing really has changed at all for me what a shame I hope others have better results

I have several medical conditions including osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. I was very pleased to be included in this trial. The packaging is attractive with clear instructions. The containers are easy to open unlike many other medications/supplements. I already take lots of medications and was a bit disappointed to note that as many as 6 tablets are needed daily. I therefore open the capsules and sprinkle the contents on food which is easily done.
I have not noticed any significant improvement in pain levels as yet, however my symptoms are variable on a day-to-day basis. I remain optimistic.

Apologies here too, I have been busy painting and decorating. I am 65 and was diagnosed in my twenties with arthritis in my neck, hands, ankles, knees and now possibly hip have followed over the decades.
I have been taking 6 capsules daily for nearly 3 weeks now. Whilst decorating noticed a lot less stiffness, pain and discomfort especially in my hands and also my neck, so was able to do a lot more than I normally can to the delight of DH. I also notice I did not have to take nearly as many painkillers as usual so here's hoping.

Apologies for the slow response. I’ve now been taking the capsules for almost 3 weeks. I suffer from arthritis symptoms in my neck, hands and wrists and also one hip and knee.
First impressions: tub was easy to open and instructions were clear. Capsules are quite big but were not difficult to swallow. During second week I have experienced less pain in my hip and knee although this is still present. There appears to be slightly less swelling in my hands. Recent cold weather always increases my symptoms. There has been no change in the pain my neck to date but I plan to carry on taking them and hopefully will see more improvement as time goes on.

The capsules are big but slip down easily with no after taste. I suffer with hip pain and stiffness in my back so I’m hoping these capsules help. I’ve only been taking them a few days as I was away when my package arrived so I feel it’s too early to pass comment on their effectiveness. ?

I have arthritis in one knee and have been taking turmeric for that with no apparent effect so was glad to try something else. The packaging was fine. I find the capsules easy enough to swallow though they are quite big. I did try opening them and eating them with food bit found the powder sticks to my teeth so I soon reverted to swallowing them whole! No unwanted side effects so I'll continue with the whole trial.

This is currently my 11th day of taking GOPO, so very early days and I would not expect at this stage to feel significantly different.

In my 60th year and, like many others, I really feel my joints being mildly aching to stiff and painful. In particular my hands are affected and usually at this time of year when the weather is growing colder this will increase.

I am generally not very good at taking tablets and usually avoid so I thought this would be a good opportunity to try something to see what, if any, benefits there are.

My initial thoughts were that the capsules were quite large and the thought of taking 6 capsules, 3 capsules x 2 per day seemed daunting. However, I keep these in full view and have been taking them religiously. I have only swallowed them with water which I am managing but they can be sprinkled on food also.

I am not sure who the target audience GOPO is aimed at but if I were looking for arthritic/age related joint products I could easily have overlooked these as the box packaging looks more sporty and body building style as if it should be in the food supplement/body building aisles.

Now the weather is changing from the balmy weather we have been experiencing, I should notice in the next month whether there is any change due to taking GOPO, as I have some painting and outside jobs to deal with which would cause significant pain and mobility issues with my hands.

I wanted to try the GOPO as I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis . I also have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Coeliac Disease, Coronary Heart Disease, Unstable Angina & Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation. I hope the GOPO can help with my joint pains.
I am 70 and I'm on a lot of medication.
I have never tried any other supplements.
Joints that are painful just now are; feet, toes, knees, hips, lower back, higher back, shoulders, neck, hands & fingers.
My first impression of the supplement was that the capsules are very big.
The instructions were easy to understand and informative.
The packaging is good and fortunately it was easy to open.
I open the capsules and sprinkle the contents on food.
I felt it upset my tummy to start with, but I think it has settled now.
I don't notice it tastes the food. It is pleasant to take.
Thank you for including me in the trial.

I have arthritis in my knees. I found the instructions clear but the tablets are very big! Haven't noticed any difference yet but hoping this will improve over time.

I have had arthritis in my hips, knees, wrists and hands since I was 23. I am now 64 and my hands have become particularly painful. I found the instruction to be clear and the packaging is uncluttered and professional looking. Unfortunately I had an extreme stomach upset after taking the full dose for only 2 days. I therefore stopped for a few days and am now taking just 1 tablet twice a day to see if I can work up to the full dose. I hope this approach works!

Thank you for the opportunity to trail this product.
I am 57 and have pain in the fingers of my right hand, both knees and right elbow, my right ankle is often swollen. I also have sciatica due to a bulge on disc and plantar fasciitis, so any pain relief will be most welcome. I take a Calcium & Vitamin D tablet as well as Omega 3 Fish Oil capsule.

I like the packaging, think it is very recognisable being orange and black and found it easy to read the white text on black background. The directions are clearly stated. I was able to open the tub easily. I take 3 capsules at breakfast and 3 after my evening meal, they have no aftertaste.

I do not have any trouble swallowing these capsules, I thought I would as this is often a problem for me, and they look so big. I was pleased to see that they can also be opened and used that way, which I thought was a good alternative. Although sometimes I do find they stick a bit inside the mouth when i pop them in, but I try to remember to take a sip of water first and this helps, and I can swallow them ok.

I have been taking these for 12 days now. I have noticed my knees have hurt less when walking on stairs the last couple of days, and my ankle has not been swollen either, which I am pleased about, but no change in my fingers or elbow yet, but it is still very early into the course, so I am hoping
things may improve with time.

I have not suffered any side effects and I am happily continuing with the trail.

Once again it would seem that the majority of people doing the trial are people who join just to enter competitions or take other advantages.
I was pleased to see a few familiar names.

I have just turned 70 and have had arthritic joints for quite a few years. A walking holiday in the spring seemed to aggravate one of my knees and it didn't settle down as it usually does within a few weeks. I have been having some private physiotherapy and so I was very keen to try GOPO. I have tried glucosomine in the past but not felt that it did very much for me. I have been taking the rose hip for just under two weeks and am cautiously optimistic as the knee does seem to be improving. I take the tablets whole rather than opening them, three is quite a lot to manage but I don't have a problem with taking pills. I found the seal a little difficult to take off initially but the cap is easy to remove now that the seal is off. The leaflet and label are informative and clear to understand.

I was really glad to be selected to try and review GOPO, as I've been looking for additional supplementation to manage rheumatoid arthritis.
I'm 57, and the pain and loss of mobility I experience is significantly impacting on everyday activities, so I am keen to try anything that sounds potentially beneficial! I am hoping that by the end of the trial I will be less 'fingers & thumbs'...
The box and tub are attractively designed. The white print on black background is easy to read, and the purpose of the supplement and directions are clear to follow.
The capsules are easy to swallow, and don't have any unpleasant smell or taste.
My only suggestion for improvement is to package the capsules in a smaller tub (therefore reducing the amount of plastic used).

I'm 60. I walk a lot - 1.5 - 2 hrs a day and can manage this once I "get going". I find I get quite stiff so getting out of a chair etc can be challenging. I get really bad hip pain at night, and get pain in knees and hips (and sometimes hands and feet) druing the day.
I haven't taken supplements before. I take painkillers at night and an anti- inflammatory the former means I get a couple of hours before tossing and turning and the latter means I can reach my feet to put socks and shoes on and get out of a chair in reasonable time.
First impressions - they are big capsules and you start taking 3, twice a day - but they are easy enough to swallow and there is no unpleasant taste. They are in quite a big container - but quite swanky. Instructions are clear enough.
I have only been taking them 10 days and as I experience better and worse days - time will tell. I haven't noticed any side effects
