Hello I received some bad news. I found out I'll need a hip replacement in time. I'm wondering if joint supps will help delay the time till it will be needed. Im at a moderate level the doc said. One step below severe. Thanks.

Try some good-quality (read, name brand) Chondroitin/Glucosamine Sulfate and/or fish oil caps.
No brain, no gain.

I have good results with Glucosamine, not so much with Cologen. I am trying Cissus, it should be here early next week.
Supps for joint relief seem to be a hit or miss, everybody,s different so you might have to try a couple. Unfortunately with natural relief, its usually a cumulative effect, meaning you have to take them for a while before you see (or don't) results.
Good news is that hip replacement surgery is much more advanced then it was 10 years ago, much better outcomes as the technology improves.
Good Luck

There's no medical evidence that Glucosamine/Chronodritin works but it's one of those weird ones like Glutamine - some people swear by it.
I went to my doctor a couple of months back with hip pain and told him that I've been taking it and he near enough laughed in my face.
Joke's on him though. After a year of putting up with **** from my hip, the G/C seems to have sorted it out in a couple of months. It's nowhere near as painful as it used to be.

My personal experience with Animal Flex isn't as I expect it.
But the fish oil I'm taking is amazing. I'm extremely surprised by what it does to me.
3 months ago, I had a wrist injury from straight barbell bicep curls, since then, i've been taking Animal Flex & fish oil & quitting the bicep curls. The wrist got better but not healed.
Then I sprained that same wrist from an accident a month ago. I could not lift anything more than 5lbs on that wrist. I couldn't even bend the wrist.
So, I decided to take 2 weeks off, & double the fish oil serving. Within 4 days, my wrist felt much better. I mean MUCH better. I woke up & could rotate my wrist 360 degrees.
The wrist is 95% now. i'm back to where I was & can do bicep curl with EZ bar now. Very happy with the fish oil.

I hear good things about Cissus but it gets six reviews on iherb. Supper Collagen gets 754...I understand the enthusiasm it helped me too.
