Pain in Knee joints! Is fish oil the answer?

[elgaringo]

I used to take cod liver oil tablets all the time but stopped about 5 months ago because of severe stomach cramps. I viewed a few sites that supported the fact that taking many fish oil caps "could" be the cause of these stomach cramps, due to the algi that fish eat at the bottom of the sea.

Now when I was taking these caps (about 6 a day) My elbow and knee joints were fine! Now they are a sorry state. I could'nt even do squats today because they were clicking, aching and creaking.

Im now gonna start taking cod liver oil caps again and hope for the best! The ones I took before were very cheap ones from Morrisons. But this time i've gone to Holland and Barrett.. More expensive and I hope it makes a difference. Has anyone got any thoughts on this or any tips of anything else I can do for my knees?

I'd be very interested the the results,as I work with a gent in his early fiftys that has problem knees.
My legs get really tight and knees do a bit or cracking sometimes and need alot of warming up.Ido stepper in between sets,but don't think they are at the level of discomfort that others have.........

Im gonna have 2 caps 3 times a day! It seemed to work for me before. But Ill let you know in the coming months if its making any difference with the aching

Check out the differant brands of msm/glucosamine/chondritin tabs from bodybuilding.com. They have hundreds of different brands even lotions which Im not sure are worth the time but also fish and flax oil. Manwhore posted a new kind, antartic krill fish oil which Is supposed to be the best out there and only available at mercola.com. I ordered me some of that.

Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin, MSM will help some.
Fish oils are one of the best natural Anti-inflammatory things you can take in of any food source.
It works at the prostaglandin level.

But to be effective you will have to take around 20 a day or even more.
I noticed after about 3 months of taking 12 a day I could urinate harder with more volume. I suspect prostate (prostate has the highest amount of prostaglandins in the body) was the cause or cure here.

I love fish oils and they are cheap. If I had to choose of any supplement those would be the ones.

WOW 20! You cant be serious. Even now I burp the taste of cod liver oil. Tastes bloody horrible

I didnt say cod liver oil, I said fish oils.

Cod liver is too high in Vitamin A and can become toxic to get the effects of Omega 3's that you are looking for.

dont feel bad there is more oil in a bag of fries at McDonnalds than in those 20 fish oils.

Omega 3's will raise Prostaglandin 1 and prostaglandin 3, both of those are anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.
Bad diet or a diet too high in Omega 6 fatty acid (vegetable oils), can raise AA in the body which promotes inflammation.


Yes 20 a day and maybe more but look at this on the bright side, your triglycerides will drop hard, possible fat loss due to Omega 3's is possible too.
Don't worry it wont hurt you.
I give them to my dog, I think she has hip problems.

You say 20 a day, I just bought a big bottle and they are 1,000 per pill. How many of those would I have to take?

They will be about a gram each so 20 a day.
You dont have to buy the special (expensive) Omega 3 brand, or the salmon brand that is an arm and a leg. I buy mine at SaVon and I did buy one get one free so I bought about 8 bottles at a time.

They should be refrigerated after opening, but I go through so many of them I dont refrigerate them due to me forgetting as I keep all my supps in one section.

One other thing, a dirty colon will give you stiff joints too.

What do you sugest? Colonic Litigation?

Well that is one way of doing it.
There are a bunch of detox things floating around.
Some involve just juice, some involve just juice, amino acids and some herbal pills that will make you shit 15 times a day some fluid that looks like coffee.

The most effective detox I ever had was the 5 day ab trim. OMG that was brutal, I could not finish it.

Or you can do the old fashon way by using fiber or even psyllium seed, those expand big time and make some impressive logs.

Also adding something that supports your intestinal flaura would be a wise move, a Pro Biotic like lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus salivarius (this one is my favorite but most expensive).

There are many out there in the health food stores, but that ab trim is pretty agressive to say the least, you will drop the size of your stomach too and it is crazy cuz at about day 2 it smells super bad and almost like there is sand in the bottom of the bowl.

I have that phone number of the place that sells that somewhere, I think they are out of like Pitsberg or something.
