Glucosamine takes around 2-3 weeks of dosing to take effect
Things that I've taken to help with tendonitis and keeping healthy joints are. *Bromelain- Helps rebuild tissue and support tendon repair. You can get this from "fresh" pinneapple and popaya's, but avoid canned pineapple which Bromelain usually gets vanished in from all the preservatives they use. I actually take the pill form 500 mg. twice a day, once in the morning and once at night before bedtime. This stuff has helped me alot. *Glucosamine, Condroition Sulfate Sodium- Helps with joints and tendons. Very popular supplement for healthy joints, tendons, and muscle, etc. If your allergic to shellfish stay away from this stuff. I take it twice a day, same dosage as the Bromelain. *MSM-Has alot of purposes but it mainly helps repair tissue, takes down imflamation, helps with skin repair, hair, etc. I take this twice a day as well. *Alfalpha-Helps with toxins cleansing which can often cause tendonitis and bad imflamation. This stuff is also helping my immune system and keeping me well in this allergy season. When your immune system is healthy your able to recuperate alot faster to get BACK to climbing when your sore and having tendonitis you have to recuperate because you can only take so much of the pain and the abuse. *Multi Daily Vitamin- Something like Centrum. *Flax Seed Oil tablets- Great healthy fatty acids and takes down imflamation. Then something my doctor right now told me to do to take down swelling and flarring which I immediately get even just warming up is, NAPROXEN SODIUM (Aleve). I take it 30 minutes before I climb and this takes down alot of the imflamation making climbing more "normal" like it used to be. Over all listen to your body and find what works for you.

- healthspan still seem to be by far the cheapest place for snakeoil etc. Though I was recently told that the days of dirt-cheap Channel Island mailorder (from healthspan and play.com etc) are soon coming to an end - anyone know if there's any truth in it?
