I'm only 31 but suffer with a lot of pain and stiffness in my lower back, shoulders, fingers etc

Has anyone had much success from taking various supplements which are marketed as helping joint pain or stiff joints? Or is anyone able to suggest any that may help?

My right shoulder suffers.

I gave Animal Flex a go after reading good things. I was pretty skeptical, but it really does seems to help.

Running both that and Animal Pak at present

I take cod liver oil and glucosamine (both cheapo supermarket brands) and have for years - seem to help my creaky joints a bit.

Placebo or not, they do seem to do something...

Is the animal pak because you work out a lot? Or had you read that best results were from taking both together?

Yeah, Animal Pak is due to training. I've taken just the Flex and had good results with the shoulder pain.

I don't mean this to sound like Dr Google worst case stuff, but have you seen your gp about this?

Do your fingers swell up when painful, restricted movement in the joints?

It's possible you might need more than just some supplements.

Also consider your diet, any correlation between foods and these effects?

I take a combination of things that have helped me, a product called Osteocare, contains calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, and zinc, also cbd oil just before bedtime, and 12mg of boron daily, taken together they have helped my joint pain/inflamation.

I have been suffering a while with my joints so 2 months ago decided to take a kitchen sink approach to it.

Glucosamine
Hi Strength Multi Vit
Cod liver oil twice a day.
Bone broth
Collagen supplement
Turmeric
CBD oil

All of that definitely worked. I am running much more freely and getting up in the morning is a doddle -

I have no idea what worked out of all that lot but I am not changing a thing!

Depends on the joint issues really. I've broken bones near the joints, and these tend to hurt in the cold. I've a dislocated kneecap which is the biggest problem for me, and I found Glucosamine and Cod Liver Oil together helped me with those things. I'm also 31.

I’ve got a rare type of arthritis that makes all my joints sore & inflamed. Only natural supplement that has made a big difference to me is this stuff...

It must be that exact brand though. I was recommended this by Jordan Peters.
I take 2 a day, really helps me.

CBD oil should help... I have a lot of joint pain in my shoulders and knees from 15 years of smashing myself up snowboarding, and it works wonders.
