Menopace or Promensil ?

[Charliebean]

Hi. I am thinking of taking a natural supplement for the aching joints etc but am not sure which one would be best. Does anyone have any experience of either of them ? Thank you

I'm just about to start menopace so will keep you posted! X

Vit D3 worked for me. I also take fish oils with omega 3. Keeping well hydrated also helps.

I take sage tablets for the flushes and fish oil for the joints. I've ached all over for 20 years though, so not sure it makes any difference. Hadn't heard of using vit D3 though - does that work?

It worked for me. I had tests for arthritis which came back ok, but low for vit D. I felt much better within 6 weeks, but it comes back if I stop taking it for a couple of weeks.

I'm a bit hesitant about self-administering vits, but I'd feel a fool taking the gp's time up just to ask if this was deficient. I did have a test for ra a few years ago (negative), but I do have a touch of the old Arthur (like most people, I think). Maybe I should just take the plunge and ask.

There are a couple of threads on General Health at the moment.
