Is There A Supplement That Helps With Exercise?

 So, is there a supplement that helps with getting the benefits of exercise??? While the short answer is YES!... let me explain.

First of all, the supplement is glucosamine and chondroitin and let’s explore what it is doing and how beneficial it is. 

This research was conducted by researchers at West Virginia University and published in the Journal of the Board of Family Medicine. 

The researchers examined the health records of 16,686 people over the age of 40. They found that taking one supplement a day of the combination for a year actually reduced the participant’s risk of dying from heart disease by 65% and premature death from any illness by 39%.

The reason that this is compared with people who are regular exercisers is because the reductions in death and dying are around the same. 

This, however, doesn’t mean you should stop exercising and just take the supplement. Instead, why not plus the benefits by doing both exercise and taking the supplement. (The researchers didn’t look at that combination).

I personally take a supplement that has not only glucosamine and chondroitin in it, it also contains MSM and Hyaluronic Acid as well. It’s manufactured by Solgar. Since I’m vegetarian, it’s also shellfish free!
