An update on the background, perhaps, of Zyflamend no longer working for some:
"BRATTLEBORO, Vt., July 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2012, Procter & Gamble, one of the world's largest and most profitable consumer-goods companies, entered the U.S. nutritional supplement market by acquiring Vermont-based New Chapter, founded by Paul and Barbi Schulick. New Chapter is known for its healing-driven mission and one-of-a-kind vitamin and herbal formulations.
"After six years of working with P&G, the Schulicks have announced that as of July 1, 2018, they have parted ways with the company they launched more than thirty-five years ago, citing essential differences in vision and strategy."
In one account, the Schulicks claim that "profit pressure threatens to undermine mission" - which Nalakrats & Gus suggested was the reason for the formula changing.
It seems that they have a new venture in mind. I guess that the non-compete clause has expired. Perhaps fans of the old Zyflamend will soon have something equivalent.

If you follow the stock market, you would learn that Procter & Gamble is one of the most miss-managed stocks on the exchange. They also acquired the U.S. distribution rights for Braun electric shavers of which they have also made a hash of things. Inferior replacement parts from the Middle Kingdom and bad customer support.
If any company needed to be broken up, P & G is the poster child!
Today, after having a go around with my drugstore regarding one of my drugs, and my insurance company only willing to now pay, only for half my dosage of a drug dosage I have been on over 20 years; I am not a fan of big corporations. I appealed, my doctor appealed-we both got turned down. I will pay for half of the other drug, fortunately, it will cost me 400 dollars a year.
Have you tried checking out the price for this drug on GoodRx? It’s not insurance, it’s a discount drug program and you pay cash, no insurance involvement.
My pharmaceutical insurance situation is complicated and I have to pay cash for my Dutasteride. The first time in went in to pick up my prescription, the tech said it was $440. Bought fell out of my pants. But I entered the drug info into my GoodRx app and the discount for that pharmacy came back at $40.00.
Check it out, it might actually be less expensive to use GoodRx than to pay the 50/50 split under your insurance.
You can go online to check it out or get a free app for a smart phone if you have one.
Below is a link to the online site. Let me know if you have any questions. Heck, I even use this to get meds for one of my dogs. But be aware, not all pharmacies allow you to use the discount for pets.
The difference is in the process. Nalakrats is familiar with the old time-consuming process. The pills look different. Long-term arthritis users no longer get relief. Seems that the new owners are cutting corners, but the ingredients are the same.
Gus Gold first reported the problem & Nalakrats followed up.
