I recently had some knee issues, mainly my left knee which seemed to flare up after about four weeks of doing squats three times a week. This was on the back of running three to four times a week and walking at least two miles a day – just to give some background on the amount of exercise my joints were being put through!

Luckily the pain in my knee came in the last week of my training cycle, so I only had to miss one squat session, before having a well deserved week off. It was after I had felt this pain in my knee and having looked at my workout schedule and realised just how much exercise I was doing that I decided I had to do some research into joint supplements to find a good complex that would help to preserve my joints and protect me from the amount of exercise I was doing.

In the old days it used to be a case that if you were having aching joints, you would take some cod-liver oil and that would be the end of it. Nowadays things have moved on and become much more complex, and the new buzz word in joint supplementation is glucosamine sulphate. As well as glucosamine, there are a few other ingredients that have been shown to be beneficial in keeping your joints healthy, such as MSM and chondroitin.

It was through the research I do into products for my other website, Discount Supplements Guide that I discovered there were a multitude of good, blended joint supplements being manufactured by various well-known and not-so-well know supplement manufacturers.

The product that caught my eye was Primaforce Elastamine, mainly because it contained all the key ingredients I was looking for – glucosamine sulphate, MSM, chondroitin - and it seemed reasonably priced. Some blended joint complexes are on sale for upwards of £20 for a months supply, which in my mind is just too expensive, especially when combined with your other monthly purchases, like protein, creatine and any others.

I’ve been using the product for about a week and a half and so far have noticed that my joints are feeling much better. Some of this is simply that I did have a week off following the end of my training cycle, but have been back in the gym this week, training hard and running hard, and thus far not noticed any problems with my knees. I hope this is largely down to the benefits of the Primaforce Elastamine I’ve been taking!
