Joint pain resolved.
I very rarely leave an Amazon review, but when something comes along and improves my quality of life this much, I think it deserves a recommendation. I'm a 35 year old male and pretty active. Calesthenics, rock climbing, hiking, ect. But some dumb decisions (and poor form) weight lifting in my twenties has left my with stiff, sore joints for years. It was getting particularly bad these past few months. It seemed that no matter what I tried (stretching, altering my diet, drinking more water) climbing out of bed every morning was a chore. Seriously. I'd roll out of bed, stand up, and just take five minutes to let my shoulder girdle settle in, wincing as my rotator cuffs complained about gravity. I'd gotten into the habit of running a scalding bath first thing in the morning just to make my crunchy wrists and elbows calm down. I'd been hearing about gelatin for a while, one of the more interesting facts being that your body accepts supplementation really well - - almost acts greedy for it. So I'd tried mixing powder into broths, which, for me, is a habit that's just cumbersome enough to be insustainable long terms (plus, ingesting it is no walk in the park). Two weeks ago I bought these capsules, and have been religiously taking three a day, first thing in the morning (along with 1 fish oil and 2 glutamine). It feels strange to forget what waking up in pain feels like. It takes me a few minutes during my morning routine to realize that only a few weeks ago, I dreaded getting out of bed. But there you have it. My pain is gone, and it's been replaced by a feeling of deep calmness. For the first time in recent memory I can hop out of bed, stretch, and even attack a workout. it's good to feel normal again, and if you're considering this for the same reasons, I hope it works for you too
