Below are some testimonials either from people who have used EFAC personally, or professionals who have seen it work in their patients.

“I helped to introduce glucosamine in 1994. Educating about joint health and dispensing glucosamine for so many years, I have a very good idea of what to expect from it clinically. Rarely have I seen glucosamine be as effective as EFAC. My father is a great example. Almost 20 years ago he broke his heel in 5 places. His walking was limited to 2 or 3 blocks due to the pain. His walking was also very awkward, as he would almost have to drag his foot, since he couldn’t put pressure directly on his heel.

For more than a decade I provided him with glucosamine and other joint products such as MSM. Then a few years ago I gave him EFAC cream and capsules. By this time he also had trouble closing one of his hands and making a fist due to arthritis. After just 3 days, as a “side effect” from applying the cream to his heel and ankle his hands were fine and have been ever since! After only a month he no longer needed the cream and just continued with the capsules. In just one month he was walking 3 to 4 miles and loving it. He hadn’t been able to walk this far for more than a decade.

My dad is now 76 and because of the EFAC he now has little or no pain when walking. EFAC has dramatically changed his quality of life.”
—Dr. Kim Vanderlinden, President of Hope Science

“I have found EFAC to be an effective topical anti-inflammatory.  EFAC has proven to be a useful adjunct for patients with cervical and lumbar compression syndromes.”
—Jay Kennedy DC, Kennedy Decompression Technique

“EFAC is the most amazing product I have used in my twelve years of practice! The first time I tried it personally it completely relieved my tennis elbow within ten minutes. More importantly, it worked just as well for my patients with acute and chronic pain and inflammation. I switched my entire practice to EFAC and the increased profits are great in these tough economic times!”
—Dr. Patrick J Kelly D.C., Past President
Pennsylvania Chiropractic Association and 2008 Chiropractor of the Year

“This new scientifically proven product has markedly improved my management of all inflammatory arthritis and spinal stenotic condions.”
—John Krage, D.C

“I am a pediatric physical therapist that has osteoarthritis in my right ankle secondary to a bad fracture. This past year I have had more problems with my ankle and range of motion….If I sat down for any length of time it was difficult for me to get up and walk without standing and gradually placing more weight over onto my foot before I could actually take a step. At night, I had to take Aleve or Tylenol before I could sleep due to the pain/discomfort. I noticed a difference within two days of taking EFAC which really surprised me. I was able to get up…. and place my right foot flat on the floor and stand up. I was also able to go to sleep without having to take anything for pain. I was walking without limping with freer movement.

Within a week of taking EFAC I noticed that overall I was less stiff. I could sit and get up without difficulty. I was also able to dorsiflex my foot about 5 degrees without pain…..Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try EFAC. I intend to order more EFAC and will definitely recommend it to others.”
—Mary Beth Marzulli, PT

“My wife has had worsening neck pain resulting from degeneration due to a run in with an 18 wheeler truck many years ago. Before EFAC she was taking multiple natural arthritis products with decreasing results. We had to adjust her three times a week to keep her functional. Seven weeks after EFAC her pain is nearly gone, her range of motion is greatly increased and I adjusted her only twice this month.”
—Craig N. Anderson, DC

“I was skeptical when I first read about your product. However, after talking to you and looking at the research, I decided to try EFAC for myself. After one month of taking EFAC personally I felt very confident in switching patients over to this product. Now all disc injury and decompression patients receive a bottle after starting treatment and so far, the results have been spectacular. I urge all patients who are on a glucosamine supplement to switch to EFAC”
— Michael Bishop, B.S., D.C.

“EFAC has been an incredible product for my patient’s acute and chronic pain. I have always used topical analgesics, but this blows them away. In 15 minutes patients will tell you EFAC is the best cream they have ever tried. I have had numerous patients thank me and give referrals. It’s a win win”.
—Dr. John Tolmosoff

“Our patients report great success using EFAC caps. EFAC pain cream has also been a blessing, as it does more than just temporarily mask the pain.”
— Andreas Schenk, Physical Therapist

“I wanted to take a moment to drop you a line and let you know how pleased I am that I tried your EFAC crème and the EFAC soft gel caps. I used the crème exactly as you instructed and I took the gel caps, three caps twice per day for the first month and then three caps per day ever since. I have been practicing chiropractic for 16 years and to be honest with you – I really didn’t expect much in the way of results. I have tried so many other products that were promised to work wonders in the past with the same old lack of help that I thought, “Here we go again.”

Well, I was wrong. The results have been wonderful. I have been so limber that I even beat one of my buddies bowling. I generally can’t get within 50 pins of him! I have had much less pain and stiffness. I even got down on the floor with my grandkids to race slot cars with them!

I have to tell you that I fell out of a car when I was 2 ½ years old and, as a result, I have more arthritis in my spine then the average eighty-five year old person, so for your products to give me such relief truly borders on the miraculous! Thanks so much for all your hard work in developing such great aids for people like me.
P.S. If anyone doubts the effectiveness of either the EFAC crème or soft gel caps, all I can say is, “Try it – you’ll like it!” The stuff works great. We can’t keep enough of it on the shelves for all our patients.”

“I have been in the Navy 23 years and 20 as a Navy SEAL , and 13 as a Special Operations Combat Medic. I have used many Joint type remedies throughout the years to help with my Arthritis in both elbows. I recently had a small tear in my Achilles tendon, which was very demoralizing and painful. I had no idea how to get better, or how to treat the injury. I took your product,both orally and topically. The results;Were nothing short of spectacular! Within a month the swelling on the back of my heal had subsided, and I no had crepitus to speak of from ANY of my articulating joints. Thanks to your product my recovery was amazingly fast. Now I can workout pain free. Thanks again.” Very Respectfully ,

Testimonials From Veternarians

“I perform and teach orthopedic surgery almost daily in my practice. I firmly believe in the benefits of combining EFAC with NSAID’s and Tramadol to lower the required doses of those medications and improve the clinical outcome in my patients. I see it work every day”
—Jeff Mayo, DVM, CVLS, Diplomate ABVP

“After practicing for over 25 years I am always on the lookout for new evidence-based products that will make a difference for the animals I treat. Based on the results I have seen in my practice, I consider EFAC a breakthrough technology. Even though there are a multitude of joint health products, I feel EFAC has just raised the bar and set the new standard. EFAC’s anti-inflammatory properties are so strong that I use it both as a joint health supplement and for after-surgery care”.
— Dr. Jeff Werber, Personal Veterinarian for Lassie

“Beatrice is my 11year old, very fit, feline with multifocal, degenerative, spondylotic osteophyte formation throughout her neck and back (indicating spinal weakness), plus a narrowed disc space of her cranial lumbar spine.  She became so painful I could not touch her lower back and she could not jump up onto the furniture.  I treated her with adequan injections and Vitamin B12 plus one acupuncture and one reiki treatment.  The pain in her lower back lessened considerably and she regained some ability to jump, however she continued to have inflammation over her lumbosacral junction and she was not her playful self.   I put her on the EFAC supplement and within 2 weeks she was playing again and jumping up on the kitchen counters!!!  I no longer detect inflammation over her lumbosacral junction and she is back to her young, active self. Many Thanks to the developers of EFAC.”
— Lisa Reising, DVM   Seattle, WA

“My husband and I have had retrievers for many years.  Both of us are quite aware of the presence of arthritis at these large active dogs age.  Currently, we have a 6 year old spayed female and a 9 year old neutered male golden retrievers in our household.   Oso, the older male, has been slowing down over the past year and the colder weather really hampered his ability to climb stairs.  Obviously the glucosamine included in his senior diet was not sufficient.  Then my samples of EFAC arrived in the mail.  He is currently on the loading dose of 7 tablets, which he eats with his breakfast every morning.  Within 2 weeks, he no longer had trouble climbing stairs and in fact, now vaults off the couch when given the chance to go play outside.  He has had no adverse side effects.  At this point, he is wearing out the 6 year old with his willingness to play.  I recommend EFAC highly and will be offering it where appropriate for client use.”
— Karen Purcell, DVM  New Hampshire 

”We have a pair of 13 year old Malamutes that had really been slowing down. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications helped to a point but when we added in EFAC there was a marked difference. I am at home with them on most days and have appreciated how their attitude, mobility and stamina have all been greatly improved since we started them on EFAC. I’m glad we discovered this product and would recommend it to others for their ‘family members’.”
—Brendan McKiernan, DVM, Diplomate ACVIM

”Well, EFAC seems to work miracles……I started giving them to my own 14y/o F/S Catahoula hound.  She has not jumped up into the truck or motorcycle for several years now and has had past injury problems with her left shoulder.  Last month she jumped into the truck with no assistance (and I have a 4×4!).  She has been more vigorous in her running with me two miles several times per week.  And, the EFAC may be too good, as Belle now gets up on her hind legs and steals the groceries of the kitchen counter….. It really is good to see such an old dog doing so well.  I wish I had EFAC for my husky mix her last few years.  She passed away last year at the age of 16, but her last 2 years were difficult for her physically.”
