Protect your joints from the damage done by weightlifting with this robust supplement stack

Before you turn the page because you think this type of stack is only for those “old” guys who read m&f, consider this: Heavy lifting has been shown to initiate inflammatory processes that not only cause destruction of joint cartilage but also inhibit its rebuilding. So even if your joints move like well-oiled machines today, too much heavy lifting could make you move like the Tin Man well before old age sets in.

Sure, you can lighten your lifting load to protect your joints, but doing so will limit muscle growth. Instead of sacrificing your muscularity in favor of your joints, alternate your workouts between heavy and light days, and consider taking joint-health supplements regularly to protect them from the trauma brought on by heavy lifting. The following three supplements are well-documented for their ability to enhance joint health, regardless of your age.
