6-7 years ago, my left hip was giving me a lot of pain. I started taking
three things, and within a month, great pain reduction was achieved. I was
taking fish oil, Glucosamine and Chondroitin , and vitamin d. I later
concluded it was mostly the vitamin d that helped me. This was dead winter
when I started. Today, I'm almost free of any pain in the hip, and I don't
take Glucosamine and Chondroitin, and rarely fish oil. I do take a bit if
extra calcium, tums, and magnesium at times.
