22 days update.
Nothing to report except that joints are good and withstanding a couple of days where I did two weights sessions a day. Will take today off, though.

This product is something I'd like to use during a dry cycle of during PCT because my joints get dry when my E gets to low.
nice feedback markam, thanks for logging the product

Sort of. I stopped taking Cissus and Species Arthrolyze when I started Achilles, but I'm guessing that my body missed the Cissus as I was suffering bad aches and pains after a few days. I topped up the amount of Cissus to 3gms which was my usual dosage and after a couple of days all was good. (Achilles contains 1 gm Cissus).
I think I will be able to give a clearer view when I've finished the bottle and I can judge how my body is reacting to not using Achilles.
We will see.

Achilles Final Review
The Good news:
I've waited until Achilles has cleared my system to try and be objective about it's benefits, or lack of. My recovery is taking noticeably longer, and I'm getting 'twinges' in a variety of places. I'm on week nine of a AL/AH cycle, and joint pain really hasn't been an issue, but since stopping Achilles I am suffering more from DOMS and most notably, some pain in wrists, elbows and knees.
The Bad news:
Didn't turn me into a sex god. Suppose you can't have everything, but the bottles are pretty sexy
Using the product:
My regular joint maintenance protocol is three grams Cissus every day and as Achilles contains 1 gm, I added some SNS Cissus 5% to make up the difference. I also use Species Arthrolyze which is a high strength Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM/Boron product and is the only one of it's kind that has worked for me, maybe it is the Boron and/or the fact that the glucosamine is 2g ed, or 4g if you double dose as recommended, dunno.
For me Achilles is a great product that could only be improved by upping the amount of Cissus to 3g a day. The cost of buying Cissus, Glucosamine, Arthrolyze ain't cheap, so if I didn't have to buy more Cissus, buying this product would be a no-brainer. I intend to try running Achilles with extra Cissus and without the Glucosamine and see how that feels.
I would not hesitate to use this product if I was having joint problems, but with extra Cissus added. So it's a strong buy recommendation from me.
