My wrist and elbow have been killing me lately and my moms joints are bothering her too, so yeah its time I buy some joint recovery/support stuff.... I dont want anything too expensive and something that many people like and is real good, thanks a lot.

The gold standard is Animal Flex. If money is an issue, then--in the words of a renowned joint-replacement orthopedic surgeon I shadowed--"the joint supplements at Wal-Mart are just as good as (fill in more expensive product).


Whatever you do, you will want glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid. Furthermore, MSM and Fish oil help.

I my joint support at the grocery store. It contains gluco, chon, Hy acid and MSM. Last time I bought, it was b1g1 free so it was about $15 for a 3-4 months supply. That along with fish oil is all I need.

Wrist wraps and glucosamine product. You can even get some elbow sleeves you often see people wear in the gym.

fish oils are said to help the joints. Might be worth a try.

[poppa_boner]

yeah i used to buy glucosamine sulfate.. but time for a change.

[gupunkitar2004]

look into SAM-E it's a mood enhancer as well as a joint soother.(and it's great for liver support)

[yamaharider]

i take orange triad (morning/evening) and i add animal flex on days where my joints will be under extra pressure (leg day/shoulders/ sometimes chest)

both products are very good, but i've heard that RTD joint supps like joint juice are more effectively absorbed and i've heard that they really help with joint pain...

i like the ones i take for maintenance and keeping my joints healthy, but if your in pain, try joint juice or something similar.

also, try super cissus rx or bulk cissus

[Johnnyb123]

Animal Flex has my vote. i found it works best for me when i take it an hour or and hour and a half before my workouts

[jibbs]

you can't go wrong with Super Cissus Rx all around solid product for tendons, ligaments, cartilage and joints

[justjoe]

Sportpharma joint-v.

[MegaPump]

yeah i used to buy glucosamine sulfate.. but time for a change.

Try a glucosamine + Chondrotin and msm product. People are saying animal flex but I always thought that was some expensive ****.

Thats what they claim but cant back with proof. This is why the FDA really has to step in when supplement company's are making medical claims, thats just crazy.

Id say yea, he can try it, but I wouldn't say you cant go wrong with it. Its not exactly cheap so a glucosamine chondrotin combo is his best bet. At least its backed by the medical community and is actually studied and proven.

Glucosamine has been tested to do nothing for actual cartilage repair or to slow down/cure arthritis.





Cissus is in fact proven... no it doesn't come in a fancy bottle with a bunch of extra **** that does nothing for you. Well scratch that, it does come in a fancy bottle, but I don't recognize usplabs as a company.


Supplement direct bulk cissus power.

900 grams for like 10$


That's MONTHS supply, even mega dosing.

[martymcfly]

animal flex or allflex by ALLMAX.

[joeflex73]

Animal Flex is very good. Orange Triad also has joint support in it's multi formula.

Walmart G-C-MSM is EXPENSIVE. Good lord, a regular-sized bottle is like $40-something. I'd recommend getting it here, the NOW brand. Well actually, I'd recommend Animal Flex because that's the only joint supp that's done anything for me.

I assume you're citing the nih research from the end of last year that showed no difference from placebo: http://nccam.nih.gov/research/results/gait/qa.htm. Glad somebody is aware of this if so.

Nonetheless, from previous research, they still haven't changed their recommendation on knee osteoarthritis: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/patient-glucosamine.html

[justjoe]

Cissus is not proven.

[_Smitty_]

another sportpharma vote here...

nearly a couple of weeks in and i've already noticed a subtle difference in my right elbow and wrist... the clicking isn't as prominent and the catching is noticeably subsiding with each day.

by 4 weeks, i should be cruisin'.



you could put an entry in to sportpharma's ongoing promo here (http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=114828411), and win yourself a free bottle of joint-v to try... jus' sayin'. ;)

[justjoe]

Joint-v is a nice choice.

I know there are a few studies not in favor of glucosamine, and many others that are. Glucosamine/chondrotin will still help with mobility and joint lubrication etc. glucosamine has been used as an effective treatment for too long for me to stop using it because of a new study or two. Do we disregard previous studies ?

As for Cissus, it isnt proven for **** lol unfortunately. Iv been using it for a long time and I cant say if it works or doesn't. I can say things are finally going super right now, im just not sure I should cut it back to 1 cap twice a day and see how I go. On the other hand i'll be upping the intensity and wonder if it is helping it may not be wise to drop dosage until the rest of this bottle. Stuff it, 1 cap twice a day it is.

For what it's worth, I still take it... as it makes me "feel" more fluid and helped quiet my shoulder and ankles.

I have held actual mri results from my knees with cissus supplementation, with a sports medicine doctor to show me what I was looking at. It works.

That doesn't mean it was the Cissus. You may have had the same results without the Cissus. Are you saying the cissus helped re grow your bones, strengthen your tendons and ligaments. In that case, WOW thats a massive medical breakthrough! that type of stuff should be in a medical journal.

I'll still take my gluc/chon but have dropped my dose of cissus back to 1 twice daily. After maybe 4-6 weeks, im going to cycle off the gluc/chro then get back on for prevention and lubrication and possible cartilage growth.

[bigsexysd7]

I use a basic g/c supplement and 2 super cissus from USPLabs daily. I have been using the g/c for years, and the cissus for almost 2 years. It has done wonders for my knees and shoulders.

[dirtdickens]

Bulk Super Cissus powder and make the caps yourself. Dirt cheap way of saving your joints.

My second favorite is Animal Flex.

[BUNGLEB]

i would recomend 'green lipped muscle extract' capsules. i used them as i have worn cartlidge in my knee and elbow, elbow seems to be alot more painfull and swells up alot, its agony.
my knee used to keep me awake at night, when i used green lipped muscle caps they took the swelling away totally.

[Armbender]

USPLabs Super Cissus..My elbows take extreme damage with Professional ArmWrestling..I started this product 2 weeks ago for an injury that prevented me from even washing my face due to the pain in my albow....My recovery is almost 100% and Ive been back into the gym doing some serious weights again and I am also back at the ArmWrestling table with no pain...

This stuff DOES work and I would absolutely recomend it to anyone who is serious about there joints/tendons and ligaments such as I am...
