I have recently been told that my Creatine use has had a negative impact on joint/tendon/ligament strength due to the degradation of the tissue that makes up these structures.
Without going into the validity of the comment (having been told this by my chiro after seeing him with a back issue - "Who said deep squats were good for you?" I would like to know if anyone has any information on so called Joint formulas that are prevalent on the market at the moment.
I am referring specifically to the products that contain Glucosamine / Chondroiton (Shark cartilage). Do these products actually live up to the hype that surrounds them?
It seems, as usual, every manufacturer claims to have a vast array of scientific evidence of the efficacy of their product, and yet none actually display this proof. One product says tablet form is best, the other, liquid form - so I figured I would put this out there on a board with a number of people that could provide an unbiased view of the topic!
Is this gospel or can I classify the claims along with the infomercial stuff?
Thanks
