Sore joints

[JUiCE_MASTER]

Hey!

What supplement (NOT STEROIDS!) can I use - besides training gloves - to help this.. the only joint support supplement I've seen is AST's ProFlex750.. is it worth anything or is there anything better out there, maybe? THX

Glucosamine Sulphate. Takes about a month of use before you see any results and is quite expensive.

 

[da big thinker]

a combination of glucosamine & chondroitin sulfate...this combo works very well and is available at any pharmacy.fyi

Thx for the info guys, but im not sure that's legal to buy without a perscription here.. I'll investigate.. meanwhile, is the AST product bongus or?
It contains:
Glocosamine Sulfate: 450mg
Chondroitin Sulfate: 250mg
Grape Seed Extract: 50mg
- Pr. 'serving' (pill rather)

Which joints are sore? If it's your knees or elbows it might just be your form. If you bench press, don't lock your elbows at the top, and if you squat or deadlift be sure your knees don't go out to far (not past your toes). I would drop upright rows or lateral raises if you're doing them. Ice seems to help some.

I would be surprised if the above supplements are Illegal anywhere.
They are considered food by the US govt and everyone knows the US govt is the most conservative when it comes to over the counter drugs and supplements.

There are mixed reviews regarding Gluc. and Condr. being able to rebuild damaged joint cartilage.

If your joints are sore due to inflamation/swelling I have not seen anything regarding it being effective for that problem.

As an arthritus sufferer, it did not help me and as mentioned it is not cheap... It can't hurt you to try it.

Check your form
Make sure you aren't moving up too fast on the weight.
Try Anti Inflamatories.. Naproxin(alieve), Ibuprofin, Asprin

I feel your pain bro..

Hey bro, thx for the advice. But regarding US being very conservative that is wrong. FX: Prohormones are illegal here. And you need a f.. perscription for almost everything here! I'll try the ibuprophen (and maybe the AST product), I can buy that w/o, not very strong ones tho

 

[JUiCE_MASTER]

I guess I'll just have to eat MASS QUANTITIES of it then...

I'm taking ProFlex 750 too. Nothing special. MSM helped me more but if your pain is constant and chronic you may consider taking a little time off. Nothing worst than tendonitis. Took me about 4 months to heal!!!!!

 

[JUiCE_MASTER]

You can also get ibuprophen in creme-form, I think this works better than pills...

 

[Y_lifter]

Wow! I'm surprised to hear that juice.
I guess the Ibuprofen will have to do...
I guess the Danish are only open minded regarding nudity.
