I just had my first jui-jitsu class this weekend. It was an eye opener to say the least :o And today I am very very sore. I am wondering if anyone here takes glucosamine for there joints, or any other type of supplements. Hopfully the sorness will get less and less with each lesson. So anyone have any input?? Thanks!

I take Glucosamine on a fairly regular basis. You will find if you are training hard, then injuries will occur. The best advice I could give you is tap out the second you feel pain. If you are going to take Gluc. take one with Condroitin and M.S.M. Be careful with the MSM, it can elevate your blood presure.

I have chondromalatia patella (CMP) in both knees and take a Glucosamine Sulfate complex called 'Arthrocine' 3 times a day. It has helped with my knee but not so far as making it better, but keeping the pain under control. I also ice my knees for 15 minutes after MT training which I attend 3 times a week and after any other knee-joint intensive activity like roadwork, lower-body weights or aerobics.

 

As far as other supplements, I take a whole heap of other stuff from BCAA to women's toning protein, Cell-Tech (creatine supplement), Chromium, Gotu Kola and a whole range of other vitamins and minerals.

Sounds like you spend a fair bit of money on supps :o

Yes, i guess i do but that's because i need them and don't (and can't) eat enough to be able to get all the nutrients from real food.

 

Actually, that's only a portion of what i take - on a daily basis I also take chitosan, gingko biloboa, max energy, ECA stack (sometimes), C complex, iron, calcium, super lecithin, B6, brahmi and a variety of multi-vitamins...my fiance also takes some of these too so we buy in bulk from either an Australian vitamins store on the 'net, or our local health food store where we are members (and the manager is a competition body-builder)...

 

All I can suggest YS, is that you give the Glucosamine a try. At a minimum, you need to take it regularly for 3-4 months before you will notice any results. I was told to start off taking it 3 times a day for the first month then, 2 times a day after that. (The bottle says to take 1 a day). The best type of Glucosamine for conditions like mine where it involves damaged or rough cartilage, is the Glucosamine Sulfate complexes....

 

Good luck,

 

BB.

Nope, I don't take any supplements..

 

Is this your first lesson in MA for some time, or have you been doing other MA besides JJ? I am sometimes a little sore after BJJ, nothing like when I first started MA, but I like it, tells me I've been training hard. :D

 

I had my arm hyper-extended a little at one stage, so I agree fully with tapping out - it means you're learning. :)

I've been taking it for the past three or four months, but not sure if it helps. I still have crappy knees.

 

KickChick,

 

Do you know anything about the condition commonly known as Jumpers Knees? I read about it in a newspaper a month ago, but it didn't go into much detail.

It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
