Seeking Supplement Advice for Neck IssuesPosted By Leenie (Keego Harbor, Michigan) on 09/17/2016
My father died at 70 with dementia because there was not enough blood getting to his brain because of the thinning of his arteries. I feel I'm on that path and I WANT off! I know yoga and exercise and eat right but I well take any advice on supplements. Thank you for reading this....

Wishing you well with all that but hey, DO check out Ted for his wisdom and the disc section on this site (under "Ailments").
Oh yes Leenie, and take a good quality (not rancid), fish oil supplement OR a good flax seed oil if you prefer (for the Omegas etc! ). There are also tablets that have just come on the market that have boron, collagen and vitamin D in them that could be just the thing for you. Keep you posted. Still being trialed by some!
Cheers,
Michael

Many have been on the quest for the Holy Grail of joint cartilage regeneration for years, while the medical fraternity said all along that it couldn't be done. Has anyone cracked this hard nut yet I wonder? I know two deserving people who are trialing this one and they hold out some hope for benefit and a lessening of their nasty symptoms at least. Will keep you posted.

That product I mentioned claims to contain (& I broadly quote here)"A type of un-denatured Type 11 Collagen to work on the immune system, to help preserve joints and support the regeneration and maintenance of healthy cartilage, Boron to help healthy bones and Vitamin D to support optimal cartilage production". If that bold claim proves to be true we have a winner on our hands! I know there are similar products "out there" and it can be confusing to sort through and expensive to "trial and error" many of them. We move from a situation where we basically had no help to one where there is too much (apparent) choice! Ha! Even so, I am pretty excited about this one at the moment. Keep in touch/watch this space! I reckon improvement could be noticed as early as three weeks if the stuff suits your particular condition and body type! Wouldn't that be pleasant! Then, you could commence those gentle, neck exercises. Good luck.
