DAIR this is also a good supplier.
Gonna take a flying guess that test force extreme is a massive load of horse ****
You'd be right. DJ is juiced hard. Don't be misguided. All these magic potions are marketing genius. Everybody buys into these miracle supps, whereas behind it, lies a lot of "special" supplements....
Even so - he's about as natural as silicone implants.
Maybe it's been contaminated with another supp?
Huddy is in his 40s
Though I'd have gone for Bulbine Natalensis instead.

You also have to look into why you have joint pain - is it posture, or an over active muscle/tendon pulling your limbs out of alignment causing inflammations. If it's a genuine issue then perhaps you need to look into it more by a professional.
When I was playing a lot more sports I used to use a mixture of my regular fish oils, Cissus Quadrangularis, and CLA - but I'm not a proponent of taking lots of supps to mitigate pain/underlying issues, and fortunately was in a position where I have a bit of a better idea than most as to why/what I'm taking.

OAKG is good - but it's expensive and tastes disgusting - ergo, it must be doing something.... right?! </broscience>
It is used extensively to heal burns victims, so the fact that it may be reducing DOMS can make sense as I guess it's helping the healing process of the microtears in your muscle fibres? It has "real" medical usage - though whether it is the same as a gym supplement... who knows.

It is disgusting. Try mixing it with EAAs.... hurl-fest/
Read a book.
Keep away from computers and tv at least one hour before bed.
Go to bed earlier.
learn to meditate.
You do *not* literally need them. You just need to exercise self control - drink more water if you want to stop yourself over eating, or eat more bulky veg to fill you up.
6pm is too late.
You need to learn to not rely on supps.
There was an uproar about the BPA used in the tinned foods, and the intolerance to guar gum associated with it. However other than that it has all the benefits of coconut oil - MCT, lauric acid etc...
Not enough information - and I trust supermarkets as far as I could throw it.
If you want to be very fair/scientific about it - buy it from the online stores I gave and from Tesco and compare how they taste. I trust the quality of the online store having emailed them and discussed it with them - but Tesco et al. not so much
I've got some from both links. Seem fine and I trust the source but hey. Look at the horsemeat scandal...
That's why I never trust supplements companies and generally never trust mass production foods. I bang on about it enough.
You take your chances with foods and supplements. Whatever they're investigating I'd as I'm sure others would like to hear.
That's why I'm rather fastidious when it comes to purchasing food. But it's undoubtedly my foreign blood too and being a food snob

The coconut oil company I ACTUALLY recommended after a friend's suggestion was this one: http://www.coconutoilcompany.com/
The amazon one was I had come across before the above link.
I love horsemeat - the protein content is about the same per/lb. However I don't know about it's bioavailability. It's probably around the same.

Dammit! Busted! 
The protein synthesis "peak" lasts a good 24hrs.
However, it's a balance on hormonal responses for maximum uptake by the muscles. I say a good 1-2hrs after a work out is an ideal time to eat / have post work out nutrition. Immediately PWO you're actually adding little benefit and actually potentially minimising your nutrient uptake.

Good for you. I prefer quality. You money, your call.
If it tastes ****, then it's probably ****.
Each to their own.
As I said it is actively used in hospitals to help burns victims generate tissue after trauma - so it's legitimate for tissue repair. How it is administered for this to happen is obviously dependent on the quality and how your body takes to it. I had positive results when I took it 5-6years ago, but I took it every day.
