Joint Protec Xtra from LAC (formerly GNC) and Cartilege Sensei from ACP
Take it from me, I am a seasoned runner. With 20 odd years of running, I have been taking first Glucosomine and Chondroitine tablets, (2 a day) since my mid 40s. As an enlightened health enthusiast, I have over the years, increased my dosage to my current level, which is
4 tablets daily of
a) Glucosamine (1500 mg),
b) Chondroitine Sulphate (1000 mg)
c) MSM or Methylsulfonlymethane (900mg)
d) Hyaluronic Acid 5.1 mg
After I hit the big 60, my joints were giving some aches and pains, and I was taking a longer time to recover, especially after I ran a rather long distance (now that I am in my 7th decade of life). I thought this was a natural degression in the circle of life, as everything wears over time.
In addition to my 4 tablets of GC, CH,MSM and HLA tablets, I took 2 tablets of collagen (my previous brand was Holistic Way). It helped to grow the cartilege between the knee joints, as well as the ACL and LCL joints and other parts of my spine.
However, I thought that age catches up with me, so the aches and stiffness was on par for the course. That means, I am getting old and the joint pains and Osteoarthritis are all part and parcel of aging.
So, naturally, my running frequency and distances, started to slow down.
I was wrong.
Much to my pleasant surprise, after I switched from the previous brand to SCP Cartilege Sensei, I realised that VOILA ! my aches and pains completely dissipated !
I could feel a spring in my step and I could do multiple exercises on back to back days.
What an amazing surprise !
Proper diet, control of sugar intake, ample sleep and a healthy state of mind.
I will aim for another 3 marathons by 65 years of age. And in good time too !
I will do it !!!
