I take turmeric pills, too. I think it’s the essential element in curry.
Also, I don’t run because as you get older it’s bad for the knees. But I walk the dogs every day, and work around the place clipping branches, raking, and so on.
I was having an awful time with my knees. Found out I was low in vitamin d. Doc gave me one of those mega dose pills..and now i take about 2 to 4 thousand a day . Knee pain went away
