I've always been a bit suspicious of supplements, but a few years ago I was talked into trying Collagen Hydrolysate as a possible way to ease my chronically achy joints. Especially my fingers. A remarkable coincidence maybe, but I haven't suffered from joint pain since. (Apart from a day or two of discomfort if my grips have been unceremoniously ripped off my opponent's gi during a training session.) Placebo effect? Unlikely after such a long period (2+ years). Maybe Mr Tade has some thoughts on this.

Collagen can help for joints for sure. It nourishes connective tissue (like cartilage) and skin elasticity. I take a lot, cause it's basically in my job description. - Collagen, Fish Oil, Probiotics, a Multi vitamin, B12, D3, Calcium, K2, Biotin, Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM. Sometimes Turmeric, sometimes Saw Palmetto.
