Hi MisterGnar "Bear wrestling?", no, I concertina'd my neck crashing my hang glider. It's amazing how loud it is when it happens. Crushed bone noises very close up. I wouldn't recommend it. 3 years to get 95% better.
And Simnon
"couldn't you believe in something cheaper ?? Doesn't tapwater contain massive homeopathic doses of everything ?"Ha, yes it does. - but also sadly more than homeopathic doses of many other things besides. Still, placebo is the effective basis behind much of medicine. Millions of pounds are spent by us as taxpayers on drugs which work only because people think they will.

Thanks chaps. I believe I'll be purchasing some to keep me going. Not saying I'm an athlete by any stretch, but if you look at the diets of some elite athletes they take masses of (legal) supplements for all aspects of their diet and performance, so it won't do joe bloggs any harm to give my diet a helping hand.

but is there any evidence that training as an athlete is good for the body in the long term ? Taking the body to its limits may require dietary supplements not required in normal life. They may well be risking harm for short term benefit

I'm taking about 3000mg a day of glucoamine, condroitin and some other magical remedies, no idea if it works, but its only a couple of pence a day, so no worries if its not.
Condroitin is th eimportant bit, its what keeps the joints full of moisture, glucosamine is the cartilage itself.

I got some from Wilko, though I admit the more I read about them here the more sceptical I become :o)

boffins have looked at glucosamine supplements;
http://www.scottishsport.co.uk/running/glucosamine.htm
this is proper science, with double blind trials, references, and everything.
(summary: "there is evidence to suggest it works, we're not sure how or why yet, but someone clever is looking into it. There isn't much to suggest it'll do you any harm. It's probably worth taking if you've got creaky joints, it's probably worth taking before you get creaky joints)

You know what this thread reminds me of? Roy Batty in Blade Runner creasing his hand over and saying 'not...yet, not yet'..
