As I get older various me+speed+lackofskill=hittingthegroundhard incidents have left me with pretty achy joints, does anybody use any cod liver oil, glucosamine etc? Do you think they work/are worth the money?
Sorry mods, wrong board... me bad 😳
Cod liver oil is generally agreed to be of benefit, glucosamine hasn't faired well in rigorous (valid) testing
Cod liver oil is a good source of fat soluble vitamins such as A,D and E.I've tried it with glucosamine for 6 months and then without,and could not tell any difference personally.It's important to stick to the recommended dose,as these vitamins accumulate in the liver,and are toxic in excess.
Thing I've noticed is that cod liver oil always seems to have extra vitamin d and a in it. I take a multivitamin every day and dont want to foie gras my liver. Do you know of one without that added in?
I wouldn't worry about the added vitamins,as long as you stick to the recommended dose.Morrisons used to sell pure cod liver oil,but with out the gelatin capsule it tastes a bit grim 
thejesmonddingo - you beat me to it!
Take both, from [url= http://www.healthspan.co.uk/ ]Healthspan[/url]. Started taking the [url= http://www.healthspan.co.uk/glucosamine-supplements/glucosamine-gmx/productdetail-p3196939-c142.aspx ]Glucosomine[/url] some years back when I had really bad joint pain after a weekend of riding, (The combination with MSM etc. was recommended on here). Pain has never recurred, (apart from what I might expect at my age). Have only started taking the Cod liver Oil recently. Not scientific, but seems to have worked for me...
Taking both on the specific advice of the consultant who replaced my left ACL some 8 years ago. Low daily dose, no ill effects; whether there's any real benefit - who knows but at nearly 68 I'm still riding rough stuff regularly 🙂
Agree with uphilla. I take 1500 mcg daily and have been since my running days that were many years ago.
