When I read the name L-Lysine, it suddenly reminded me that I used to buy it exactly for that reason.

A doctor recommended to have surgery on a joint, but I didn’t have the money or insurance. So I did some research and started taking supplements that contained L-Lysine among other things. Also started doing light exercises just to increase the blood flow to that joint. And some how it was fixed.

I think is the only supplement that has actually worked for me.

Edit : glucosamine was another of the supplements I was taking.

I do physical labor and take two supplements to keep my joints from bothering me: Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex and Instaflex Advanced.

I started the first one many years ago when I was lifting 30-80 pounds shoulder high all day at work. It noticeably reduced the joint pain I experienced after about two weeks.

The second I started using this summer and wow. I'm 50 years old and feel like I can play racquetball again.

With my business my right shoulder was deteriorating due to raising buildings using a handyman jack. I could not lift a glass of water off the nightstand while in bed. Since taking the Instaflex, my shoulder has steadily improved and I'm confident I will soon have my full strength back.
