Friend who built a lot of houses, lot of flooring, roofing and other on the knees work, started getting knee pain in his early 50’s. He started taking those two supplements recommended for cartilage/joints, after a month or so problem went away. Damned if I can remember the name. It’ll come to me…
Glucosamine?
And chondroitin.
52, been taking them on and off since late 30s.
At first when a knee or hip hurt for awhile, then one every other day.
Now 2 a day.
One builds cartilage, the other helps with lubrication.
Lotta holistic folks recommend it for everyone over 50.
Seafood based, be careful if you have allergies.
