laRubiaBonita Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 i currently take cosamin ds for joint health. i will run out soon and wonder if there is something better? i also take a multi, inositol, choline, stress b, primrose oil, and calcium. the joint thing is preventative- my knees do get sore now (i am not 32 yet); and the roll out of joint if i sit wrong. i can also pop my hips and elbows out of joint- i do not do it much anymore at all, but when i was younger... it was fun! so- any thoughts? thanks!
Author laRubiaBonita Posted September 10, 2010 Author Posted September 10, 2010 Glucosamine. Chondroitin Glucosamine is what Cosamin is- that is just the name of it. i have tried fish oil, cause i hear that does really good- but what i have tried gave me an awful after taste.

Oh, heheh, didn't see that...that's what I've always used and what everyone else I know uses for joint health...not sure about whether fish oil would do the same thing...
tman666 Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I've heard that tumeric supplements (circumin) have anti-inflammatory properties, though I haven't taken them myself. As someone who has also experienced knee inflammation and pain, I can tell you that the best thing is figuring out and correcting any muscle weakness/imbalances you have (hint: it might not be around the joint itself. Part of my problem was some hip flexor weaknesses/improper glute activation), staying limber, and keeping everything as strong as possible. If you have loose joints, strength training will be especially beneficial, in my experience.
