That is not an answer to the question. I can see no reference to the product Activ8 Joint Complete in the link which you provided.
So I repeat the question:
"Has anyone tried Activ8 Joint Complete? it all sounds good in the video, but does it work? and is it safe?"

Apologies @Curlew for hijacking your thread I just want to welcome @Eunomias
I agree there is no actual reply to the question above, but I think having done a search here:
it might be because no-one here has actually tried it, having discussing it with other members. Therefore not much is known other than a video (referenced in a few of the threads) and reviews on the actual site which as you probably know might be biased in favour of positive outcomes.
I found this thread, from those in the search, above the most useful myself:
Should you decide to give it a try please do let us know whether it helps.
My best wishes
Ellen.

Hello @Curlew,
As Activ8 is hellishly expensive I bought all the constituent ingredients separately - it didn't work for me.
I spoke to my Orthopaedic Surgeon about this and he wasn't surprised because most of the ingredients are aimed at repairing damaged Cartilage and as I have absolutely none left in either of my knees there was nothing to repair. He explained that cartilage has no blood supply so once it's gone, it's gone.
I also found about 6 weeks in that my symptoms were getting worse - hot, achy and throbbing legs, sharp stabbing pains in the hamstrings and cruciate ligaments and more locks than usual. I traced it to the Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Eggshell membrane and Type 2 Collagen. I was good with the Turmeric and Boswellia which I still take today.
So, if you've got a goodly amount of cartilage left then it could well work for you but if you find as I did you're feeling worse, not better, it may be a reaction to some of these ingredients which for all I know may have clashed with my prescribed meds.
Good luck, fingers crossed!
Jon
