My name is Bert Mikoll and I am 73 years old. About 3 years ago (1996), I developed an arthritic pain in the fingers of both hands. Eventually, the ring fingers of both hands "locked up" every time I made a fist. When this happened the pain became very intense. The only way to release the "lock" was to forcibly straighten the finger. Rarely was I able to remove my wedding band because of the swelled knuckle.

About November 1998, I began taking 3 glucosamine-chondroitin caplets per day, the 500/400mg. variety. The relief I experienced after 8 months was more wishful than real.

When AIM introduced Frame Essentials, I decided to try them because this was a product made to restore joint and cartilage health. Besides, nothing else worked. About the end of July 1999,I began taking Frame Essentials, 2 tablets twice a day.

By the second week of September 1999 I was able to make a full tight fist with both hands without any fingers "locking up". TGBTG.

I continue to take Frame Essentials daily in full dosage because my left index finger knuckle is still a work in progress even though it is much improved. Eventually, I will take the maintenance amount to keep up my joint and cartilage strength.

Praise GOD for showing me the pathway to health.
