Joint care - what to take?

[Freefaller]

Agreed with oli - not convinced with glucosamine, I have a paper somewhere stating that taken with something else it can trigger improvements but alone it isn't that effective, but I'll be damned if I can find it at the moment

I was suffering a lot of knee pain recently with all my running

taking 2 tablets of Fish Oil/Glucosamine - and I've noticed a real difference - placebo or not - its helped me

my parents have had phs at hospital recently and for both of them the professional recommended glucosamine to them - they said it may or may not have an effect - as it differs from personto person - but as its so cheap to buy - you may as well take it

I take these:

thanks guys

I've got some glucosamine tablets here.

I've been reading about this stuff perhaps I'll finish the tablets off
but in the long run actually go for 3/6/9 tablets like I am right now.

you need all the omegas but i balance my diet and only go nuts on the 3's for the weight loss assistance. om's 3/6/9 cant be dosed so high because there are sides from i think 6's. i take glucosamine when i do a heavy lifting phase.

this is all anecdotal stuff i have researched in the past, however i have no references for you im afraid.
