My knees have divorced me! But Laura kept me going.... I can now understand why Athletes jump into baths of ice. Bring on WK3 D3 well after the day's rest.

You might want to consider upping the quantity. I take 2000mg 3 times a day now and it has had a marked effect on my joint health. I used to take one a day of regular 300mg but have since discovered tha at those levels it really isnt having much effect.

You do also need to get the high dosage caps - when I first started upping the dose it came out at some ridiculous number of caps - 24 a day or something, which was pretty challenging simply in sheer volume, let alone the 'fishy burp' factor of most brands. Luckily I have since found a brand that has no fishiness about it, just a neutral to slightly citrus taste. And only 1 cap a time.

I do quite a lot of squatting with weights and my elderly knees were really protesting about it but are generally pretty smooth and happy now.

Thanks for that. The ones I've got are 1000mg but I will now do a search for the others as these do have a fish after taste.
