After gimping around for the last couple of years, I remembered that Sophie (my cat) had benefited from glucosamine and chondroitin. As luck would have it, Michelle had recently bought a bottle of OsteoMove from Sprouts. She doesn't notice how much things cost so I've no idea, but as they say at the Ferrari dealership "if you have to ask, you can't afford it."
While discussing it with Michelle and surmisaling it might've been $25, I glibly remarked that I'd've paid $50. That'll teach me; she got the 240 tablet bottle and though she doesn't remember how much she paid, she doesn't think it was $50. But I'm here to tell you, even if it is, this is astounding and definitely worth it (note price in lower left of image above). I'm thinking of heading up to the gym.
Regardless, when I woke up this morning instead of moaning and groaning and taking 20 minutes to get into position, I swung my legs over the side and stood up; cavorting into the hall, I did a pirouette, mimed shooting several baskets just to see what I could do on one leg, and, in general, made a fool of myself. It was great! I'm rejuvenated!! If only St. John's Wort worked so well!

But first a nap. I mean, this is just the first day.
Hannah - ready for a naaaaaap.
Well well, what a nice result. Good news.

DeleteNice to have you stopping by.
I took another at 3 pm. Now 8:41 and just starting to feel its effect. Will have to determine optimal times.
Hmm. I took one big one (recommended dose) every morning for about 6 weeks and didn't notice anything at all. Maybe I should have tinkered. Well some things work for some people, etc etc etc.....

DeleteThese things, supplements, do seem to be particular to the individual. There also seems to be variation in the format and/or brand. I had no reaction to melatonin in pill form but even the teensiest bit of an Olly gummi (purple!) knocked me out.

DeleteI found this...
The approximate half-life of CS and its derivatives in plasma in humans is 15h. The steady state is attained after 3–4 days and 3–6 months of treatment may be needed to obtain the maximal effect.

The Wife as been taking glucosamine (for dogs since it's less expensive and manufactured to the same standards as the human version) for years. She probably wouldn't be able to move at all otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWhat brand does she take? I was astonished at the cost. I don't remember it being this expensive when we gave it to Sophie 20 years ago. Of course, labor was much cheaper then. 🤔
