TOPIC: Supplements Pre Game

I went and bought almost all the supplements I read on this board. I got...
L-lysineGlucosamineVitamin CFlax seed oilFish oilHowever, I could not find collagen 1, 2 or 3. Where are you guys getting it? I went to Meijer and CVS. Neither had it. Instead, I picked up a nail and hair supp that had collagen in it. I\'m going to start taking them today, which is a week before the big day. Are you guys taking more than the daily intake on the bottle?

Glucosamine has conflicting reports under reputable clinical journals of medicine. Glucosamine may aid in the synthesis of proteoglycans, which are proteins that make up the collagen matrix. But Glucosamine seems to only affect Hyaline Cartilage production and should not be assumed to treat the production of collagen for other anatomical areas that are known to have elastic cartilage. Our beloved penis would be a candidate for the production of this elastic cartilage. It would be a waste of money to purchase glucosamine for this hobby, plus an over consumption of glucosamine can cause early signs of diabetes by interfering with certain metabolic pathways. Consider supplements with caution. I listed several safe ones in a previous thread.

don\'t take pills just for the hell of it, i admire your zeal but its unsafe. if you are looking for type II Collagen, Now Foods has an excellent supplement that i purchase for one of my parents arthritis. You can purchase it on amazon, but it will not aid in elastic collagen production, its a supplement, it does not provide permanent results, thats why patients keep purchasing it.

is this gone too far?

I wouldn\'t take them a lot for over a month. I would just do it a week before PMMA and during recovery. Anyone talk to Wade or Dr. C about this?
