User Reviews for catechu

I used this in A GNC product and it helped my pain in y legs, I cannot find it now so I assume they discontinued the product, I am sick about it too, I was great. Please GNC, bring it back

I have had significant and growing joint pain from osteoarthritis for years. It has required surgeries and even the removal of a thumb bone in my left hand and potentially the same bone in my right hand. The problems are too numerous to discuss in this limited format. My wife had been trying an over the supplement for approximately 6 months with good success. She encouraged me to try it. So I did, starting 3 weeks ago. The supplement lists Catechu as its second most important ingredient. I have honestly not noticed any significant reduction in joint pain, but have started having some issues that I did not previously have. There has been an increase in flatulence and more constipation than ever before. I have also had a great deal of gas and discomfort in my upper body, causing a great deal of belching, which is completely new to me. I have also had issues with normal sleep patterns. I took myself off of the pills yesterday and can already feel a positive difference. I can't prove that I had these problems due to these supplements, but I have had bad allergic reactions to Statins and a drug called Celebrex. Due to my reactions from those drugs, I felt it necessary to stop taking this current product before something more serious did have a chance to happen. I can only hope this information might help someone in the future, if they are showing problematic symptoms from taking Catechu or any supplement in which it is a part, as I did. Read More Read Less

It's the only thing that has helped me CONTINUE to use shakes as a meal replacement. For a job on the go, it's great!
