What supplements can I take for muscle and joint soreness?
Oftentimes people have not only muscle soreness from exercise, but joint soreness from working out, just the process of getting a little older, or stress from running down hill perhaps or something like that. There are three supplements I think are very beneficial, and one of those is glucosamine and another is chondroitin, and oftentimes those two are put together in a topical formula or an oral capsule or tablet. This has been proven in numerous clinical studies to be very beneficial to help nourish the joints and actually reduce the pain and soreness. The other thing I would recommend is Arnica, which comes from a root, Arnica montana. When I first learned about this I was training an older gentleman, he was telling me about it many years ago, and I said “Yeah yeah, I'm not sure if I buy into that.” and now I realize that all the research supports it as well. You can get it sublingual. You can get it in capsules. They put it in topical formulas. They have it in gels, and oftentimes in topical formulas where they'll add the glucosamine, the chondroitin and the Arnica all together and it works incredibly well.
