What is the best supplement for chronic knee/quadricep tendonitis???

[arizona32]

I've tried glucosamine/chondroitan (for over a month), didn't help. Have done rehab, RICE all that. Still anytime I run, jump or lift heavy, tendonitis above knee caps and lower quad flares up. Anyone have ideas for supplement or anything else which may help? I'm also open to deca etc. too if that would help.
Thanks

supplements like glucosamine/chondroitan needs to be taken for a long time for it to work! I've been reading about nitric oxide, very interesting stuff! here it is from the horses month,

Try some cissus. It helps my knee and elbow.

[arizona32]

Which cissus product do you recommend?

[Narkissos]

Personally, I believe heavily in fish oil megadosing. If you haven't as yet... give it a try.

Right now I'm using Primaforce and I like it.

Sport doctor highly recommends this as well, dosage are from 3g to 6g per day. He as seen some very positive results with this. I have arthritis in the neck C7 and D4 , he gave me a cortisone shot and told me that at my age 38 i can control the inflammation with fish oil. I bought the ON brand you get so much for your $$$ like 200 caps for 11$.

thats not bad, its like 4 caps a day, only 9 grams of good fat! I'll give it a try.

Tablets are 1g each, i also take Universal Animal Flex for joint you got another 1g of flax oil in there. And i just bought some type 2 collagen. Also read studies that low carb diet can do wonders for arthritis and joint rebuilding. Still not sure if i should beleive that or not. Inflammation in the body.

Thanks, what product do you recommend? What daily dose?

[Lnh]

Try doing 5-6g/day of fish oil, or 1800mg total omega3 (same thing). Also look at usplabs supercissus rx...more concentrated than most. NutraPlanet has it in powder form too but it tastes like crap.

How long do you megadose the fish oil, til symptoms go away or is it safe do go longer

[Lnh]

There are people that take even more than 6g/day for years without any issues. The only main adverse effect you would possibly run in to would be diarrhea, which for the average person usually takes much more than 10g/day.

Another vote for Cissus.

[Narkissos]

Hey Nark, what dose do you recommend?

At least 10 grams per day.

I also believe highly in proteolytic enzymes like bromelain.

I used 1500 mg bromelain every 3 hours through-out the day.

I've been as high as approximately 40 grams per day personally. I always consume it with an equal amount of lecithin, so digestive issues don't manifest.

Should they, you can supplement with a lipase product.

10 grams per day is a pretty sweet dose though... 2 grams w/ most meals at the very least.

There are lot of benefits to megadosing (in my humble opinion), so honestly I don't see a reason to cease administration of fish oil (well unless you had a pending surgery... or was otherwise prescribed blood-thinning agents).

You could, however, lower the dose a month or so after inflammation reaches a tolerable level.

Thanks Nark.
