TUX asked that this piece of advice be posted here for the benefit of all

Due to 30+yrs in the construction trade, my elbows (knees too) had also been shot for a long while BUT a friend once told me to take a few Wine Gums everyday as apparently the body can't reproduce gelatine? This could well be a crock o's***/placebo but all i know is that generally i've felt better for it ever since.
So if anyone here is on HOL then please drop them a line as it may well help others as much as it has me. And lets face it, who doesn't like a Wine Gum.

I am more a fan of eating a cube of jelly a day. Gelatin is rich in protein, and has a unique amino acid profile that gives it many potential health benefits. There is evidence that gelatin may reduce joint and bone pain, increase brain function and help reduce the signs of skin aging.

My missus has whine gums

joking aside, my right forearm is prone to discomfort / weak, so I often use one of those stretchy compression sleeve thingys.
Helps a lot to the degree I can still do gym/weights with it.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

Lord Voltarol to you, if you don’t mind.

Great replies love winegums and always got whisky for pain relief.

I believe that Wine Gums do not contain gelatine any more but a vegetarian alternative as with nearly all chewy jelly sweets.
Therefore not really going to help with joints etc any more!
