Guys and Gals, (especially Trouble) I need some ideas on the right dietary aides or supplements I can take to promote tendon health.
I'm coming off of a pretty bad tendon injury in both of my elbows. I would like to take every precaution I can to prevent this from happening again. So, give me some of your best ideas.
I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

The pain that I feel is derived mostly from curls and rows. The obvious solution would be don't do these movements but that's not possible.
I'm looking more towards the nutrition end for a possible solution?
largepkg - this should be in supplements not D&N. I'll move it. However, some helpful things are Glucosamine, MSM, SAM-E, Calcium, Magnesium. Helpful amino acids would be arginine, proline, aqnd lysine.

I got chuckle from the photo of the secretary in that article.
In my minimal 7+ months of training I've had painful tendon problems in my arms and shoulders They are easing now, and more rapidly than expected. I understand tendons take a lot longer to strengthen than muscles.
But, I'm curious also. Outside of the popular hype... anyone had actual success w/ supplements?

The supplements you would need to help your tendons are , particularly , boron 1.5 - 3mg a day , manganese 5- 10 mg (5 is safer as you may get some in foods) and 11 mg daily is a danger level if exceeded , also needed is Silica/ silicon compound ( got mine at holland and barrett ) also lesser needed but needed zinc, calcium , magnesium
