      Hi Lou. the gel is non greasy & absorbed really quickly. something else - i had a blood test in august & my vit d was found to be insufficient. my doc put me on a vit d supplement in september to get my levels up. these last couple of weeks (on the vit d about 2mths now)  i do have noticeably less aches & pains, particularly in my right outer hip/knee/calf which would wake me up every night. so might be worth getting your vit d levels checked. i now buy it myself - my doc said to take at least 1000iu/25mg daily. I'm sure it must be what's helped my chronic pain in my right leg.  x

      Magnesium helps with that, as do flax seeds. I have fresh ground flax seeds every morning on my porridge. I also have them with live yoghurt. I use a pestle and mortar which means they are not all ground. The ones that are still whole go right through the digestive tract a bit like a brillo pad.cheesygrin

      i give salmon oil to my dog and her joints were terrible before it. She is like a puppy on our walks now and her coat is sooo slick and soft compared to the straw like feel it used to have. i know I shoud use it too, it is good for the heart. the flavor is just too much for me to stomach.  i burp it up all day.  yuk is right 😝

    Unflavored beef geletin!  It saves me from a LOT of aches and pains and fibro symptoms.  It is cheap, and I put two level teaspoons in my coffee in the morning.  Your pain should disappear within a week.  Do this for two or three months and then stop and use as required after that ( I find I don't have to use it often anymore, a week here and there.  It also helps with energy and bowel issues.  It has been a lifesaver for me in that area.  Now if only I could find something to stablize my moods!
