    I've heard chondroitin (sp?) helps with achy joints. I take it when I run and I start to get aches. I think it helps...

    I had problems with my knees and ankles some times when I work out. I started taking Omega-3 everyday and I haven't had as much pain or any at all in those joints. O-3 is also good for your heart and mind! Hope this helps!
