I'm almost 60 now (dang, how did THAT happen!?) and love to hike. My knees started to ache a few years ago; eventually the aching started keeping me awake at night even when I hadn't done anything that day. It gradually became so bad that I worried about doing my job as a photojournalist, which requires doing some pretty weird contortions and climbing on top of stuff from time to time.
I began taking Glucosamine Chondroitin tablets and within weeks the aching completely disappeared and never reappeared! I've taken a variety of brands and they all work pretty well, but the Kirland Signature pills are smoother (not chalky like some), slightly smaller, and have a pleasant vanilla flavor. That, and their reasonable price, has earned a lifetime fan!
NOTE: Glucosamine Chondroitin works for many people, but not everyone. Buy one bottle and use it for a month. If you don't see a significant improvement, you might as well save your money for more radical treatments. My sincere wishes for good results--knee pain is no joke
