Physical Fitness Effective joint supplements

Bear Pit Exercise Routine
Deca. Not exactly standard treatment, but nothing works better. Get it from a Dr.

If you are overweight, lose weight. Nothing is harder on the joints than extra pounds. Other than that, anything anti inflammatory is OK. Turmeric is very good.
Don't forget to ask for viagra at the same time you get Deca. It's called Deca dick for a reason.....and it's not a good reason. :p
 
Maybe this is a little clearer then. If supplements actually worked, they'd be regulated by the FDA. Since they don't actually make any claims to do anything, they aren't.
No, i'm sorry, i understood what you said, just making the point that the FDA isn' uber reliable either.

Glucosamine seems like the best alternative, but it isn't a medicine.

The issue of bioavailability, uptake and appropriate dosing is why i asked about asthma and eye pressure side effects.

Not really a concern if you're going to risk your dick's ability to operate operationally.......

Maybe this isn't the right thread to ask the question.

It can be tough on your kidneys to take it religiously. I take it as needed or if I’m anticipating using my body a little more.

After my micro fracture surgery on my knee my surgeon suggested taking it…there’s no concrete proof to how the supplements make it to the cartilage since there’s really no blood flow there but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. If it were a placebo, it shouldn’t be so successful with dogs when vets prescribe it for joint pain.

I've had vets advise on more than one occasion, they put it into senior dogfood fwiw.

I’m not sure to be honest, it’s something that my doctor had mentioned a couple years after the surgery. It’s not uncommon to hear that too many supplements taken daily over a long period of time can overwork your kidneys and cause damage though. I had walked away thinking I’d take it in waves and ramp up for weeks at a time where required.

Also to put this in perspective, I had the surgery at around 25 years old so a lifetime of joint supplements would be a lot of pills for me.
 
Read the labels. If it doesn't say it's approved by the FDA, it's not going to make a difference. If it did, they would have bothered with clinical testing and FDA approval.

Maybe this is a little clearer then. If supplements actually worked, they'd be regulated by the FDA. Since they don't actually make any claims to do anything, they aren't.
That's not how it works. If they made any health claims they, supplement manufacturers, would then fall under the purview of the FDA. They avoid this by not making any claims. The cost to go through clinical testing would make that supplement so expensive no one would buy it.

So as it stands, with no regulation, you may be buying very little of the actual product you're attempting to take. If it worked, they could have clinical testing then your insurance would pay for it at the pharmacy. If there was any benefit and a chance to make money, the bigger pharma companies would already be all over it.

That’s the reality that federal prosecutors have reminded the public about with an announced $678 million settlement with Novartis over the drug maker’s doctor prescribing- and kickbacks-scheme. And it is what Gilead has shown with its planned pricing for remdesivir. It is an anti-viral drug that has shown modest effect in shortening the course of Covid-19 infections and was developed with taxpayer funding.

The Novartis case also paints a damning picture of doctors’ complicity in taking bribes to defraud taxpayers (specifically the Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs programs) by pushing company products, including the high blood pressure drugs Lotrel, Diovan, Exforge, Tekturna, Valturna and Tekamlo, and the Type 2 diabetes medication Starlix.

As Audrey Strauss, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, described the bad acts in a statement:

“For more than a decade, Novartis spent hundreds of millions of dollars on so-called speaker programs, including speaking fees, exorbitant meals, and top-shelf alcohol that were nothing more than bribes to get doctors across the country to prescribe Novartis’s drugs. Giving these cash payments and other lavish goodies interferes with the duty of doctors to choose the best treatment for their patients and increases drug costs for everyone.”

The goodies dispensed— besides huge honorariums — included travel and entertainment. Prosecutors detailed the pricey feeding and watering holes at which Novartis wined and dined doctors, including: “Masa, Daniel, Gramercy Tavern, Il Mulino, Babbo, Peter Luger, Le Bernardin, and Eleven Madison Park in New York City; Charlie Palmer’s in Washington, D.C.; Morton’s Steakhouse and the Four Seasons in Chicago; Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami; Abacus, Nobu, and the Four Seasons in Dallas; Gary Danko in San Francisco; Patina and Matsuhisa in Los Angeles; Grill 225 in South Carolina; and Commander’s Palace in New Orleans.”

That there are inconsistencies in the studies comparing significant and insignificant improvements is a huge red flag to me. No one can agree and the studies aren't the same. They've been studying it since the 80s and can't come up with the same results twice.

Thanks again.

I'm really interested in quercetin which seems viable in combination with the other two.

Supposedly it's a "performance enhancer" which may just mean increased o2 absorption.

Seems to have arthritis applications.

Mainly I would be thrilled if it solved allergies.

Melatonin is a proven supplement and the pharma alternatives are appallingly awful.

Thanks too for the review on Anabolic Labs.

Lack of sugar. If there is one thing that contributes the more problems than anything, all over the body, it’s sugar- simple carbs.
Good point. I haven't eaten simple carbs for a long time, so I never thought about it. My main worry with keto is that to get enough fat you end up eating relatively low quality fats. And of course everybody's body processes fats differently, but my lipid panels tend to be better when I am very careful about fat quality -- more fish fats, less red meat fats. Bodies are weird in how unique they are, but one constant seems to be that once you hit 35 or so, sugar is going to kill you.

My general .02 on diet is that there is a bigger difference between people who follow a diet and people who don't, than there is between any two reasonably good diets.

Clinical trials to obtain FDA approval typically account for small proportion of total drug research and development costs, study suggests. Clinical trials that support FDA approvals of new drugs have a median cost of $19 million, according to a new study by a team including researchers from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

https://www.fool.com › investing › general › 2016 › 04 › 30 › the-cost-of-developing-an-fda-approved-drug-is-tru.aspx
Based on average out-of-pocket costs and capital costs that were around $400 million apiece, Tufts estimated drug development and approval costs at that time of $802 million (in 2000 dollars).

"After examining 10 pharmaceutical companies and 106 randomly selected drugs that were first tested in human clinical trials between 1995 and 2007, Tufts estimated that the true cost to bring a drug to market was $2.56 billion (in 2013 dollars). This figure includes just shy of $1.4 billion in average out-of-pocket costs to the drug developer, as well as $1.16 billion in time costs, which are essentially the expected returns that investors forgo while a drug is in development."

So you guys in Oz get real sugar?

Here in the US they tax the shit out of sugar, if you want beverages with sugar you have to buy Mexican or Kosher Coca-cola for example.

U.S. Corn Sweeteners and Mexican Sugar: Agreement at Last!

usitc.gov › publications › 332 › journals › corn_sweeteners.pdf
percent tax Mexico levies on beverages that are made with sweeteners other than cane sugar, including high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) (WTO 2005; USTR 2005). These taxes are aimed mainly at imports of HFCS from the United States, the primary supplier of most nonsugar sweeteners used by the Mexican beverage industry.

https://www.vitalchoice.com › article › is-corn-syrup-worse-than-cane-sugar
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a manmade substance that's roughly half glucose and half fructose, not bound together chemically. The ratio of fructose to glucose in most HFCS is very similar to the 50/50 ratio in cane sugar.


"Don't get us wrong. We're not fans of synthetic food, and that's what HFCS is ... see “High-Fructose Corn Syrup Declared Unnatural”.

And when you add HFCS to fizzy drinks, a chemical reaction with its unbound sugars (glucose and fructose) yields high levels of undesirable compounds called carbonyls ... see “Corn-Sweetened Sodas High in Pro-Aging Agent”."


------------------------------

"Rutgers researcher Chi-Tang Ho, Ph.D. tested 11 popular sodas containing HFCS, and found “astonishingly high” levels of reactive carbonyls: a single can contained about five times more carbonyls than the blood of an adult with diabetes."

Omega-6 Fats Drive Obesity; Omega-3s Help Avoid It​

06/04/2012
Last Thursday, President Bill Clinton appeared on CNN's Piers Morgan show.

The former President's Clinton Foundation has become increasingly involved in health issues … especially childhood obesity.

Among other topics, the guest host – film producer Harvey Weinstein – asked him about his remarkable success in losing weight and eating more healthfully.

President Clinton highlighted the issue and his own battle of the bulge in a blurb he wrote for Dr. Hyman's recent bestseller, The Blood Sugar Solution:
“In the last decade, the rise of obesity and diabetes has emerged as a crisis that threatens our families, the global economy, and the success of our next generation. I've made drastic changes to my own diet and exercise routine since my heart troubles surfaced in 2004 and I hope Dr. Hyman's new book will inspire you as he has inspired me.”

Key Points
  • Mouse experiment affirms the fattening effects of America's omega-6/omega-3 imbalance.
  • Study outcomes show the opposite effects of omega-6 and omega-3 fats on the body's marijuana-like “munchies machinery”.
As he told Weinstein, “… when I had my second heart incident and I had to put the stents in, I had passed all my physicals, I was doing great, I was still building up plaque in my arteries. So I just went all the way. Now, I try to eat some salmon once a week … and I feel great, lost a bunch of weight.”

Obviously, President Clinton's battle involved much more than replacing junk food with fish … but that move may have played a part in his success, judging by the known metabolic benefits of the omega-3s in seafood.

The anti inflammatories I refer to are prescription drugs. But please continue. I'm only 26 years into treating the human body, I'm sure you've got more experience than that and I'll wait for you to espouse something I haven't already heard. Not all FDA drugs work, but I'd put even less stock into something not tested and approved. As for your costs theory, apirin and Tylenol are both approved and yet cost so little. You seem to have something to prove that is off the topic of do they work. I'm going to concede this argument, it's just not worth it.

What is it exactly that you have done for 26 years?

Following doctor's orders does not make one "the cutting edge expert", what I'm saying is that you appear to lack foundation.
 
I make a cocktail of fresh tumeric, ginger, lemon juice, fresh peppers, local honey, little coconut or avocado oil and some cinnamon.

sometimes i add some ingredients for shits and giggles, it tastes pretty bad but seems to help. Ginger is cheaper than tumeric and sometimes there is more of that than tumeric, so i will add some powdered form.

Only thing is, my joint pain comes from cancer degraded vertebrae and it's enough to eat your soul.
Even better thing is to just not move, at all, the slightest motion (like raising your arm) affects said vertebrae....and that's bad.

Damn dude that is quite a cocktail. I have a disk that appears to have gone missing due to a climbing accident. I got us both down but it cost me unbelievable pain for the past 30 years. Thankfully, I have a reasonably high pain threshold and I have only needed opiates a few times. Though the amount of ibuprofen I have taken over those years is obscene. I did take an ambulance ride for 5 days in the hospital in 2009. I learned a hard lesson about letting it get out of control.

Thank god I was in really good shape a few times in my life and I think that is really a big help as you age.

Now I do pretty much every thing I want to and just need to be wary of the warning signs of trouble and take swift precise action. Movement/activity is my friend. That said I need to lose a few pounds this year and really ramp up the activity level for my last year before 60.
