Topic: Supplements that strengthen joints/ligaments?

Hi all - I'm wondering whether any of you have any recommendations for supplements that can strengthen joints/ligaments.

My joints are loose, and I am a constant chiropractic patient, for spine and extremities.

Has anyone taken supplements that helped you hold your chiropractic adjustments longer?

I am very interested in this too as I have the same problem.

Any little thing, especially mopping or lifting groceries bags, takes me out of alignment!

Just rolling over on my sides in bed, I can hear my joints and spine cracking and popping.

I believe gelatin is supposed to work for this. It contains the right proteins for collagen/cartilage formation.

Can you exercise at all? Light weights would strengthen the muscles around the joints and help keep them in the right place.

Thx for responses -

So has anyone tried gelatin? I remember cab drivers from Armenia telling me to boil bones and drink the broth - I tried it, but all the paint in the room started coming off the walls from the longterm steaming, so I quit!

Faithful, loose joints don't let me exercise - so I swim - great for stretching and toning.

I have no functioning methylation pathway, so no MSM.

The rest I'll look into.

Anyone else on what has strengthened joints/ligaments for you?

MSM helped me tremendously years ago when I had a back injury. I loved that supplement - as it also is good for your hair and skin. I have stopped taking it because it could dangerously recirculate heavy metals in my body.
