I probably spend a total of $100/year for supplements which I purchase from Costco. That covers a multi-vitamin, Glucosamine-Chondroitin, a supplement that includes a number of other things, and saw palmetto.
Only thing I don’t get at Costco is DHEA - 50 mg/day.
This stuff does work, and if I don’t take them for a couple of weeks, I really notice it.
No one is getting rich off of me in this area.
I’m 60 and in excellent health.
I had the same results with the glucosamine/chondroitin supplements. Six months ago my knee was so bad that I could barely walk 200 metres. After four months of 1500mg/1200mg of the above daily, I can now easily walk 5 km carrying my grandson. The supplements cost me around US$100 in total, and I never bothered with going to a doctor. All considered, a good deal!
There are some supplements that I’ve found have a tangible effect - melatonin for sleep, DHEA and Tribulis Terrestris for male energy, and COQ10 for general vitality.
DHEA — really, really excellent anti-aging wonder stuff for cheap.
Drug companies would LOVE for that to be Rx-only.
