5/5
I'll preface this by saying that yes, I do rep for Antaeus. That said, I'd like to think that I, and Antaeus in general, are well known for our transparency and sincerity. I'm posting this because while I had used this product before, this time I was able to compare it to the same injury without supplementation, and specifically was able to asses the anti-inflammatory properties.
This is a short note on my experience with Achilles and a torn ligament in my wrist. I used to play national level sports (let's say it was tennis, for privacy's sake). A couple (3) years ago I partially tore a tendon in my playing wrist, and haven't played much since, in great part to avoid further injury (as this is the type that will never fully heal), and have been focusing on bodybuilding instead. I was recently offered the opportunity to join a team and start playing again, and I took it and have been playing again for 2 months. A couple weeks ago, I took a spill when a pedestrian crossed in front of me biking around campus and my wrist took all of the impact. Sure enough, the injury flared right back up, and I couldn't even pick up a plate with that hand for a couple days. Knowing that I had a tournament two weeks after the injury occurred, I decided to rest it up and starting taking the recommended dose of Achilles. Last time the injury flared up a year ago, it took MONTHS to get back to normal, and I was out of the gym for some time. This time, I just took it easy in the gym, did some BFR and two weeks later I was able to play (with some wrapping for support). I continued to dose Achilles during the tournament, which consisted of one weekend of intense playing. To my amazement, not only was I not worse when I came back (I expected to make it worse and be out of commission for another two weeks), I was actually BETTER. Three weeks later, I can't even tell I reinjured it. Needless to say, I'm impressed, and would like to reiterate my recommendation that anyone with joint injuries give it a try.
