What do you older guys take for joint inflammation?

That sounds awesome! Never given myself a shot before. Is it very painful in the knees?

I have not either. I do not know if I could.

SubQ in the knees is not bad at all, I would imagine IM would hurt a lot. But subQ you can just grab a bit of skin around your knee and inject into there, subQ injections are not deep and you're not injecting into the actual kneecap.

No worries, we learn by asking. I'd also recommend before buying any products or supplements to do some research on it yourself (i.e. Google), look at every ingredient and ask "what does it do?". Us supplement companies are all bias towards our own products, so it's always a good idea to go out and do your own independent research.

You will get buried in forum posts and anecdotal evidence when searching. My strategy when looking up supplement or even medication from my doctor is to to find ncbi or pub med studies on the compound. Usually the summaries are not that difficult to digest.

It will give you a sense of the target the compound effects and how it impacts the system as a whole. Then once you get a general understanding of why it works then you can determine if if it is for you.

Great suggestion, my main point was to always do some independent research of your own.

I have a friend that has to get two shots every 3 months in both knees from an issue due to a car accident 5 years ago. He says they have to strap his legs down...thats all I needed to hear.

I think those are more along the line of cortisone injections into his knees, which are more of an intramuscular shot because it's going into the joint. For peptides like BPC, you usually inject them subQ, just under the skin. This usually isn't very painful, people will do HGH or insulin injections subQ near that area.

Yes now that you mention it that is exactly what he is getting...I think once I heard inject/knee I shut all the other explainables out...I cringed!

I have had injections into my Knee Cap very painful !!

 

[nicksox15]

I've had a few cortisone shots, pretty much just some temporary relief from an underlying problem. They don't hurt much but I'm pretty tolerant to pain. The worse pain was when I got a dye injection in my shoulder and they hit the bone, ouch!

Not painful at all and very effective on day 6 of BPC for elbow joint pain and its already 100 times better going to run the full recommended course of 14 days.

Also nice to have a very knowledgeable company helping out welcome again, hope you stick around!!!
