Creaky Knee Syndrome (And Other Joint Problems)

December 12, 2008 · 4 Comments

Cartilage is the shock absorber for where our bones meet each other at our joints.  Over time our cartilage breaks down, so our bones become more susceptible to rubbing and bumping against each other.  This in turn leads to sore and swollen joints along with stiffness.  This usually comes with age and sometimes to younger athletes who put great demand on their bodies.  Having done much karate training in younger days, I suffer from “creaky knee syndrome” myself.  It must be the karate because at 46 years young, I’m far too youthful to have age related problems :)

Urrrm . . . . no . . . . that’s not me.

The most successful nutrient for treating  joints is glucosamine.  It is derived from the shell of ocean shrimps and is the basic building block for the larger molecules in cartilage.  Numerous studies demonstrate that glucosamine stimulates cartilage cells to produce protioglycans and collagen which helps to repair cartilage.  This in turn soothes aching joints and helps to keep them strong.  Who’d have that the the humble shrimp would save the world.

Many baby boomers, senior citizens and even athletes already regularly use glucosamine for joint relief, whilst a growing number use it as a prevention. 

Knee joints are particularly vulnerable as the average able bodied person walks every day, even if they do not work out.  The knee joint is actually a bad design that is load bearing and in constant use, no decent engineer would ever design a joint like it.

Apart from glucosamine, keeping the muscles strong around your joints can help too, as strong muscles stabilise the joint.  However, you need to be careful what exercises you chose though.  For example if you do squats with a weights to strength you thigh muscles, the extra weight can actually make your bones grind against each other more than normal.  Get advise from a qualified trainer, preferably a more mature trainer as they may be better able to relate and have personal experience compared with a youngster straight out of college.

nuflexNutronix provide an advanced glucosamine product called NuFlex, which combines glucosomine with 7 other nutrients to maximise easing and possibly recovery of aching joints.  This includes MSM, boswellia extract, chondroitin sulfate, tumeric, quercetin and methionine.  To find out more go to the main Nutronix website, click on “Products” near the top, then click on “Joint Health” in the left have column
