Joint Support Help

[TheBenchPusher]

Hey guys. I was just wondering what you all thought was the best joint support out there? Looking to go heavy soon and want to give my joints all the help I can get. Thanks guys.

I believe fish oil will help if you're not taking it already. Glucosamine is also supposed to help although I've never used it.

Here's a pretty good example.

Cissus is the way to go IMO. I stopped using chond & glucosomine after reading some contradicting studies on them. Promaforce Cissus is what I take, it works great and is very high quality!

Please post the studies you refer to.

I like Cissus, a topical cream called Blue Emu, up your fish oil to 10 grams per day and Glucosamine/Chondro/MSM works as well if dosed high enough.

Please post the studies you refer to.

haha, you are right, silly me for not posting them! the msm i screwed up, it was glucosamine. The two I read mentioned that:

Large-scale, methodologically sound trials indicate that the symptomatic benefit of chondroitin is minimal or nonexistent. Use of chondroitin in routine clinical practice should therefore be discouraged.
(Reichenbach S, and others. Meta-analysis: chondroitin for osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. Annals of Internal Medicine 146:580-590, 2007.)

and another publication reported that

The GH/CS [glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate] group was not superior to the placebo group in function, pain, or mobility after both phases of the intervention (pill only and pill plus exercise).
(Messier SP and others. Glucosamine/chondroitin combined with exercise for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a preliminary study. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 15:1256-1266, 2007.)
