Since last time we spoke I’ve modified my daily supplement stack based on the newest studies.

What I was taking before was working fine, but sometimes I’d still have flair-ups. Switching to glucosamine sulfate is supposed to increase the rate it’s usable by the body and there’s some good research now on boswellia.

Thus far, I’d say the most effective supplement is the fish oil. I’ve been using it for years and can almost immediately notice when I stop taking it. The turmeric also seems to have a good effect for me along with the glucosamine and chondroitin.

I’ll give this new stack a few months and then check back in with how it’s going.

For several months, I was taking this mixture of supplements daily. My goal in this mixture was to target imflamation, depression, and increase my energy and metabolism. I saw great results (improved mood, lessened imflamation, & more energy).

For various and sundry reasons, I got off this program. I think I’d partially begun to doubt if the supplements were actually doing anything. Maybe, just maybe, all of my positive results were from exercise alone.¹ At any rate, waves of imflamation and joint pain started to come back. This week it was bad enough, that I had troubles getting to sleep.

So, as of today, I’m back on the plan. I’ll stick with it for the month of May and report back on the results.

Exercise, of course, is a major contributor to improved mood, better sleep, more energy, etc. ↩︎
