weak joints

Kalanchoe Posts: 400 Joined: 2003/02/18	2003/04/30, 10:15 AM Can anyone recommend a supplement for safeguarding against arthritis and protecting the joints that is suitable for vegetarians? So, cod liver oil is out, but what about evening primrose oil? any others? Cheers! Katie -------------- *My body only feels good when it burns! *Little voice telling you to quit?

I am working very hard, especially for a 55 year old new to all of this, and I am "feeling it" in my knees. It is not painful, it is just that I can tell I have been working out. So do you think the Joint Maintenance would be a good choice for that? -------------- Gramma

I told him I think I am strictly running on adrenaline when I am at the gym. He told me to start using the elliptical for "at least" 15 minutes and build up to 30. My first day I did 25 and could have done 30 except that I was sweating so bad and did not have a towel!!! -------------- Gramma
