Joint Supplements for Athletes

Competing in biathlon (a Winter Olympic sport combining skiing and rifle marksmanship) involves one of the most rigorous training schedules of any sport. It is not uncommon to have training weeks consisting of over 25 hours. Although biathlon competitions can take over forty five minutes to complete, they are often won and lost by tenths of seconds. This is why every minute that I train is so important to my success. You can imagine my surprise when at the age of twenty I found out that I was suffering from arthritis. I knew something was wrong because I had been getting very sore in my joints during longer workouts but I never expected my pain was due to arthritis. The pain was bad enough that I nearly had to cut running and other activities out of my training regimen. I have been taking Syn-flex for only a short time now but I have already noticed a huge difference. I started taking one quarter ounce twice daily for the first ten days and after about 5 days I could already feel the difference. Over the past year I have tried numerous glucosamine products but I never had the results I hoped for. Syn-flex is in a league of its own. Never again will I be caught training without Syn-flex. Since being on Syn-flex I have really put my body through the paces and I could not be more pleased with the results. I have included three plus hour runs back into my training schedule and it is comforting to know that I can train as long as my muscles, not my joints, will allow.

After training twenty years in gymnastics and competing at a Division 1 school, my joints ached and popped. I received my commission in the USMC in 1995 and the pounding on my body just continued. Then, three years ago, I took up the Ironman Distance Triathlon (an incredibly demanding sport). I had begun to accept the pain in my knees and back as part of life, until I tried Syn-flex. I doubled the dose for the first ten days and now take the recommended daily dose. The aches and pains are gone and my joints don't crack the way they used to! Syn-flex made my joints feel as young as I do!

I started the Syn-flex as recommended (double dose for 10 days) and I noticed a little improvement but it was more around the 2 to 3 week area that I noticed a big difference. I still have intermittent dull pain, but nothing like before. My shoulders have been the problem area, and lifting weights was very painful before. I plan on continuing with the Syn-flex, to relieve the pain obviously, but also to ensure my joints stay healthy for my lifting program.

The Ironman (2.4 mile swim 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run) I'm doing is OCT 19th. I've started my distance training. Saturdays consist of 100 mile bike rides and a run while Sundays are 15+ mile runs and a 1 hour bike. Working out 20+ hours a week would cause, In the past, my knees to be very swollen after only 10 miles of running. I'd spend the afternoon Icing and the next 2 days with "water on the knee", taking anti-inflammatory just to bring it down. Since taking SYN-FLEX I have not had ONE pain or swollen joint, it's amazing. The performance of my training and racing have gone way up because I can put in the hard workouts that pay off on race day. The only down side is that there are no more excuses on why I can't perform. How I used Syn-flex - On long training days I use the initial load amount, 1/2 oz. (6 hour workouts) I also use this amount after races due to the pounding on my body. On Normal days or days off I take the suggested amount. On long rides I also put a serving into my fuel bottle (carbs and protein) for preventive maintenance. I've used all kinds of Joint complexes in the past but I know this is the best. I was skeptical when I saw the web page because it was marketed for older people, but being an avid label reader, I knew it was the amount I needed. After trying it I was positive Syn-flex is the best.
