First of all, thank's to the team of "Millennium - Sport Technologies" for letting me try the product.
I tried almost any OTC product in the past to alleviate my age related joint problems.
"Joint Mechanic Plus" was the best of all, considering that it had a noticeable positive effect on my joints.
One has to keep in mind that arthritis, arthrosis and other age related conditions are not easily controlled -and a miraculous healing is not to be expected.
Foremost, its important to curb the use of NSAID's to avoid associated side effects from its use.Here is where "Joint Mechanic Plus" comes into play.
To get an idea how it performs in comparison to NSAID's:
It does not start working a few hours after taking it, instead, it has to build up for a few days, maybe a week.
After that it has the potency of about 400-600mg Ibuprofen a day.
I would advise to pre-load with 6 capsules a day (2 x 3 split) for the first days, afterwards the dose can be lowered to 3 caps a day. I noted heart burn when taking without food, so food is a good addition.
The NSAID diclofenac is not widely used in the US -but there is a scientific proven synergy between turmeric (curcumin) and diclofenac. "Joint Mechanic Plus" has "Meriva" as an ingredient, basically a more potent form of curcumin. When I took 3 caps together with diclofenac, it DOUBLED the effectiveness of diclofenac, making this combo very valuable to me, when needed. It knocked inflammation out over night, completely.
I give it a solid 5/5 rating and will buy it in future!
Thanks for the tip on using this with diclofenac, i'm a big fan of diclofenac for joint pain, so if these two combined work even better, i'd definitely try it in the future
Do it! Especially before bed. I took 100mg diclofenac with 3 capsules "Joint Mechanic". I was awe struck by the difference it made.
Where did you get diclofenac? Do you a prescription for it?
I live in Paraguay (near the rectum of the world), here its OTC, like most stuff.
Never heard of it (paraguay I mean.... jk haha)
Do you only dose Diclofenac as neccessary? or do a couple days of it then take a break or something?
I only take it when pain is about 6 of 10, on a scale from low to high. Maybe once every two weeks -or after a heavy workout, when my old joints got badly beaten. I don't use any other supplementation for joints, such as glucosa -and chondrio-crap. Has no effect for me, with -or without MSM and whatnot.
Have you tried high dosing cissus quad? I have in the past like 5-6g, cant remember exactly but it worked really well... only problem is can get expensive at those doses
Interestingly enough, the species of Pseudomyrmex triplarinus has a venom that has been analzed and it seems as though it has some qualities which can be used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (Ward 2002). Its venom has anti-inflammatory properties (Pan and Hink 2000) and analgesic agents useful in treating autoimmune diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis (Sukhwani). The venom has been extracted from the venom sac of the ant and the analysis shows that it has high contents of glycoprotein, heparin, chondroitin sulphate, polysaccharides and other hydrocarbons. It has high activity when it is highly purified, with very few adverse effects, allowing for long-lasting results.
Yes, I did. Also DMSO with arnica, Boswellia...anything. I even injected chondroitin with low molecular weight into my knees (vet meds for dogs).
Now there is only ONE thing I did not try -but will in future, already located the lab in Peru that produces the injectable solution:

This info could also interest Newth .
Cool.
That sounds way better than this...

Injectable chondrioton sounds interesting.

Injectable chondrioton sounds interesting.
The ant poison hurts like hell too, what I heard about it. Have to go to Peru as they don't ship it anywhere.
Neither sound pleasant.
So one of those special remote country things.
I was sent 2 bottles of joint mechanic, so I decided to double dose 1st bottle-1 did 3 caps morning and 3 caps pm. started to feel relief from achy joints in just a few days, by the time 1st bottle was empty I had substantial relief of pain. I have been running the 2nd bottle at recommended dosing of 3 caps per day, this has been working well for me. I am about 3/4 of way thru 2nd bottle and joints have been feeling much better than I would have expected them to from a otc product.....I gave this 5 stars, I won't say I am pain free, but my joints are feeling much better than they have in a very long time....
if you have sore/painful joints I recommend you give joint mechanic a try!!!
