Tip of the Day--KNEES

You stepped wrong and wrenched your knee (ouch!), taking glucosamine can help fix that injury faster, Research in Sports Medicine shows. Injured athletes who took 1,500 milligrams of the cartilage-mending supplement a day for 28 days could flex and extend their knee 10 percent farther than those who didn't pop the pills. Not only for knees but all injuries at a joint (ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder, etc.)

It's true! The first thing the knee doc told me was to start taking glucosamine. Wal-Mart has Schiff brand in 2000 mg doses, which was recommended by my doctor. Good stuff!

True. It seems like girl athletes usually have some trouble with their knees.
