Hydrolyzed collagen or Glucosamine?

[sheriff_carter]

Hi everybody.
I'm trying to find some additional help to my joints, besides o3 fat in fish and so on, maybe it would help my joint recovery. I'm on diet now and my wrists are aching often, shoulders joints.. I've read that there are basically two things to help with this: Hydrolyzed collagen or Glucosamine.
Second one you can buy in supplement stores (for example, ON Glucoasmine + CSA Super Strength), haven't found Hydrolyzed collagen though anywhere yet in supplement stores. Maybe it goes as a part of content with something else.
So, my questions are: what's best from the health and joint matter from these two and where I can buy collagen if this is the choice?
Thanks!

I would go with Collagen, taking something now, but I'm at work, will let you know what I'm taking that has helped me.

kindof depends on what the cause is.

If its inflammation, try Turmeric 2g-10g depending on quality/concentration

If its degeneration, try weekly Hyaluronic Acid injections

or daily supplementation of
Glucosamine Sulphate 10g
MSM 2g
2g glycine 2x/day

Another things thats more work than popping supps but works great is
homemade bone broth (store bought is crap). Most of us eat plenty of meat, save the bones from
chickens, steak, etc (or buy them from a butcher cheap) and put them in a slow cooker for a day.
You can make soup with it or just drink the end product. Super rich in proline, glycine, minerals, etc
which your body to uses to make collagen. A cup a day and you will see the benefits in your skin
and feel it in your joints. Like i said, it takes some work but homemade bone broth is awesome stuff.

Do you think any of the below would work for tennis elbow?

kindof the same deal, depends on the cause of the pain
(tennis elbow seems to be a blanket diagnosis for elbow pain)
if its tendonitis (inflammation), turmeric/curcumin is suprisingly effective,
if the joint is 'dry' big doses of glucosamine/msm or hyaluronic acid are appropriate.

bone broth seems to help with a lot of joint repair/nerve situations... rotator cuff, carpal tunnel, etc
a bag of "dog bones" is $1-3 at any butcher shop, super cheap, just takes some time/effort to make it.
broth will only last a few days in the fridge, so freeze it in small containers. lots of recipes/directions on the web.

p.s. in the above post i mention HA injections. The powdered/capsule form does give results, but tends to need
a pretty good dose (several bottles at $25-35ea) to see/feel it, so injections into the joint from your doct
are the way to go ......or you can find some at the horse track ;) JK

if you've got the teeth to chew the bones like a dog, go ahead.
otherwise, boil the bones to make broth. :)
