When I was in my 50's (I'm now 75) I began having knee pain. It was difficult going down stairs. I was advised to go to the pharmacy and purchase some glucosamine and chondroitin tablets. These tablets quickly eliminated my pain and did so for 20 years, when suddenly in 2020, the pain in my knees returned and also in my right shoulder and right hip.

I was fortunate to stumble upon a YouTube video of a fellow talking about Moringa Leaf Powder and how it eliminated his joint pain caused by a rare form of arthritis he had. Moringa leaf is a super food you can learn about on the NIH website. It's used to help feed poor populations. I was in constant pain and forced to go down the stairs one step at a time, like a two-year old. So, I gave it a try. You can order it on Amazon. I recommend the capsules, as the powder is not all that tasty, although I have found one powder that does not taste too bad. Private message me for the brand if you would like it and how I take it.

It worked pretty quickly, I'd say within two weeks my joint pain was gone. Within 6 months I had lost over 30 pounds.This was an added bonus I hadn't known about. Fast forward to 2024 and I'm still pain free and I've kept most of the weight off.

I recommend you take more than the recommended amount. The usual dose is one or two capsules twice daily. That worked for quite awhile, but I've doubled my dose in the last year or so. It's considered a super food, so it's safe.

Wishing you good luck.
