Joint Supplements

[mdd2]

By the way, around four years ago, I began taking the recommended daily amount of vitamin D. Around 18 months later, I started getting spots and rashes flaring up on my face. I put this down to all sorts of things, like washing powder, soap, sunscreen, shaving foam, hand gel and certain foodstuffs. Spent a bit of money switching to different brands and on cleansing lotions etc in an attempt to eliminate what was causing it, but to no avail. Then I stopped taking vitamin D and the spots and rashes stopped too.

I have no idea why I didn't think of this in the first place. Maybe because I had been taking the supplement for a year and a half without any issues. Funny thing is that I didn't require it in the first place. I'd read articles online about victim D deficiency and the benefits of taking a daily supplement, however, I get enough daylight in the spring and summer months and also have a good diet, so I didn't really need it in the first place.

Well it wasnt the vitamin d but perhaps one of the incipients in the preparation.
If it were vit d you would get spots when you are exposed to sunlight.

Since my age trundled over to 68 earlier, this month I've noticed a lot more pain in my joints and getting in and out of the car has become painful,I'm thinking of giving joint supplements a crack,I know we have a lot of old blokes on here who might be able to help with their experience of pain and supplements any recommendations?
At the moment I'm swithering towards.....

Glucosamine complex with MSM & Tumeric
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Just wondering,
Have you seen your doctor to establish or treat the cause?
Do you take or use any medication, such as antinflammatories or painkillers.

At 70 with two replacement knees My experience of supplements is that they are all useless money wasters.

Nothing more to add really.
