    Is There Anything Besides Deca To Lubricate Joints

    I know that Deca lubricates the joints, but I just want to know what other AS can do the same that have a lower detection time.

    ya, you should try drinking lots of water and you can take glucosamine, the glucosamine will take a couple weeks to kick in but it will work great.

    You say Lots of water, what is considered lots of water? I've been taking glucosamine but It hasn't really done anything for me.

    But doesn't cortisone do more damage to the bones and joints, although it helps, he said it does more damge also? That's what I was told by a pharmacist in Mexico

    winstrol messed my knee joints up pretty bad so I was just looking to take either deca or something else. But the thing is I'm an athlete at a Division II university, and I'm scared it will show up on a drug test

    Glucusamine products are all over the place now, they sell generic types in every wallmart and store, i personally use GLC2000 wich gaurantees its higher quality and results, must use it constantly if you want to see good results though.

    My doc said cortisone works,but weakens tissue,tendons in the long run. I find Eq is also bad on the joints. Any AAS that causes water bloat will help but deca is the bomb.

    The deca metabolite will linger so not a good choice for you Bro - sour cherries by the cupful have a anti - inflammatory effect

    corticosteroids are not good -- break down your tendons. That is why doctors limit the number of injections. Bad plan to be lifting heavy with weakened tendons.

    Yep, you'll be artificially increasing synovial fluid in joints

    Einstein - does it work for hip arthritis? If so, why isn't it a suggested therapy?
