Hi Mduvall, to NT.

I guess first I might ask this question on the Vitamins, Nutrients, Herbs and Supplements forum, and spend some time searching the NT archives. You could also Google: supplement connective tissue Look for credible medical sites rather than those selling supplements, e.g. http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/c...sue-002440.htm

We've been taking a Gluosamine/Chondroitin/MSM supplement (which is one that's supposedly good for connective tissue) for years because of a lot of hype (including some from our doctors) but recently I came across this, which is giving me reason to delve a bit deeper (and maybe save some $ on something that may be doing nothing).

I guess whatever you try, it shouldn't hurt to run it by your own doc/s first.
