Hi Doyle:  I've given you the Costco.com link  directly to the product.  I 
found it by clicking on the costco.com site  -- then "personal", then typing in 
"glucosamine".  A friend of mine buys  it this way and has gotten special 
deals ( by buying more than one).  On  the main website: _www.symteclab.com_ 
(http://www.symteclab.com)   they specify that they only carry the smaller size and 
charge the full price  (and explain that they sell the larger size through 
Costco). Again though  -- my local drugstore carried it for the higher price 
(for the smaller  16 oz bottle).   I realize if you have no access to a Costco  
you then have to pay shipping - -but perhaps then you could try the product  
Ludene mentioned as I'm pretty sure there are Vitamin Shoppes at every mall  
around (there is one at my local Mall and I'm going to check his out next  time 
I'm there).  Every so often Costco has coupons and I stock  up.   No guarantees 
it will help neck/shoulder pain, but if it even  alleviates some of it, it's 
worth a try.  I think in our separate  conversations I may have told you that 
I fell down stairs in December and  nearly fractured my neck, suffering a 
serious injury.  I've ignored all  the initial recommendations of surgery and am 
finally now doing better on  my own.  I suspect the surgeon balked when  I 
explained  he had to "fuse" my neck in a position to allow me  to play the 
harmonica! <g>
 
Just as a point of reference, glucosamine/chondroitin  (the human version) is 
routinely prescribed in pill form by veterinarians for  arthritic dogs.  My 
dog's stomach can't handle it, so I had hoped to try  the liquid for her but 
was too afraid of an overdose.   Ludene's  post now gives me more hope for her. 
It doesn't require refrigeration,  but tastes so much better cold.  What they 
call Wild Berry flavor  tastes more like cough medicine to me.  It can be 
mixed with water or  juice, but is easiest taken as 2 tablespoons (using an actual 
tablespoon  measure)then a water chaser if you don't like the taste.  Caveat: 
 You cannot miss a day, especially at the beginning,  or there's no  point.
 
Good luck!
Elizabeth
