I'm sure everyone reading this topic has already read the article on the front page. I'm not going to say that Ariza is lying. I'm not going to try and scientifically disprove what he's saying. I just want to know why it took him so long to come up with an answer. We've been at bitter odds over this issue that could've been resolved so long ago. Ariza took a very long time to disclose the contents of the specific supplements (about a year) his fighters take (one in particular who's name we won't mention). Now, in 2011, he claims that Glucosamine is helping this fighter train as hard as ever because he is no longer suffering from joint pain. Like stated, I'm not trying to call him a liar. I'm not trying to say the fighter doesn't have joint pains. I AM in fact wondering why he didn't just say this right from the start? Questions will always surround this guy as far as many are concerned. They say PEDs are used to make athletes train harder. Ariza claims that Glucosamine is what fuels the tough training routine for fighter 'X'? Who buys it, and who doesn't? Please don't turn this into a hate fest. This is a civil topic of discussion and it involves all of us because we are the ones shelling out the bucks and making these fighters the superstars that they are today.

I prefer cod liver oil myself, although I believe you can get cod liver oil WITH glocosamine in it. If that's true.....

Glocosamine is actually very well know in my country. Being a small country a company used a couple of arthritic old ex-All Blacks to run a pretty high profile campaign around it. So my father who had had joint pain for years bought some and he said it has worked miracles for him.

Now already I have a left knee that is a little dodgy (old rugby injury) and I'm thinking of giving it a go. I've tried some multi vitamins in the past and cod liver oil like you suggest and to some extent I have seen the benefits of them. However my dad swears this glocosamine he takes is a whole nother level.

I must check if they do the cod liver oil in it as well.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin - needs to be a combination of the two.
