Collagen for Joints
Hi,
Since menopause can make joints stiffer and in general it can happen as you grow older - I am considering taking Tendostrong OA as a precaution since it is cheaper than supplements available on Amazon and also regulated.
Please tell me how often I should take it
Thanks

2- Regular muscle strengthening through exercise
3- A balanced diet rich in calcium and other minearls.
Most of these supplements are irrational and lack any scientific research. Some may infact be only harmful.
