Cycling really does seem to be helpful, and after all: I worked damn hard for these muscles, I don't want to loose them now. I resent keeping to the flat routes and low gears, but thats what seems to work at the moment<BR/><BR/>Steve, the supplement you mention seems to be very similar to the one I am taking, I really appreciate the tip, they seem to be helping a lot!westwindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03426303468231092890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736635.post-1170530101054560952007-02-03T11:15:00.000-08:002007-02-03T11:15:00.000-08:00In case it helps, here's a complete list of what's...In case it helps, here's a complete list of what's in the stuff I'm taking:<BR/><BR/>Tablets:<BR/>Glucosamine Sulphate (333mg)<BR/>Dicalcium Phosphate<BR/>Methyl Sulfonyl Methane/MSM (133mg)<BR/>Chondoitin Sulphate (100mg)<BR/>Cellulose<BR/>Bromelain (66mg)<BR/>Ascorbic Acid/Vit C (35mg/58% RDA)<BR/>Papain (16mg)<BR/>Zinc Citrate (11mg/22% RDA)<BR/>Magnesium Stearate<BR/>Silica<BR/>Niacin/Vit B3 (3mg/16% RDA)<BR/>Curcumin Extract 10:1 (3mg)<BR/>Copper Gluconate (2.5mg)<BR/>Pantothenic Acid/Vit B5 (2mg/30% RDA)<BR/><BR/>Capsules:<BR/>Omega 3 fish oil (500mg - 33% EPA and 22% DHA)<BR/>Gelatin<BR/>Glycerol<BR/>Vit E (4mg / 40% RDA)<BR/><BR/>The dosages given on the packaging are 2 capsules and 3 tablets a day for "maintenance", or 4 capsules and 6 tablets a day for recovery after surgery or periods of hard training.<BR/><BR/>I had pretty severe cravings for <A HREF="http://www.marmite.com/" REL="nofollow">Marmite</A>, which is extremely high in folic acid, thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and vitamin b12. It's a bit of an acquired taste, though! I was drinking mugs of it (a teaspoon of the stuff dissolved in hot water) as well as putting it on cheese/ cucumber/ mayonnaise/ lettuce sandwiches.<BR/><BR/>As Dave said, spinning in the low gears is good - it definitely helped me. Good to hear you're getting a bit more pain free, hopefully some of this information dump has something useful in it for you!stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653896968477021636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736635.post-1170512555203951142007-02-03T06:22:00.000-08:002007-02-03T06:22:00.000-08:00sending you all the best. i'm glad your back out o...sending you all the best. i'm glad your back out on the bike. these things can take long to heal so be patient - getting back on the bike will probably help with that. perhaps try to stay in the easy gears as often as possible. <BR/><BR/>good luck.that davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826481517451200786noreply@blogger.com
