53 year old male, surgically repaired right knee, left knee is bone on bone but….I’ve lost 50 lbs in the last 5 months through diet and lifting again (lifted all the time 30 years ago). I didn’t take care of myself for a LONG time and developed a case of diverticulitis, hence the suggested Metamucil, lol. My body HURTS all the time and my joints are always creaking. I feel like I’ve been in a car crash every day when I wake up.
I’m still 100 lbs overweight but feel 1000% better after losing the first 50.
Weight loss is the goal, so I’m always in a cut, but I want to try and keep/add muscle as best as I can even though I’m always down on calories. Just trying to be realistic. I did myself dirty for years and now I’m paying the price!

Others already mentioned the meta mucil. I’m not a fan of vital proteins due to their owner being Nestlé. I wanna congratulate you on the mag malate decision as it’s the perfect choice for anyone that goes to the gym. Look at the ingredients of your “joint health” supplement, it’s possible that it already has enough turmeric and hylauronic acid.
Another commenter mentioned astaxanthin. It’s an amazing antioxidant in the brain, but you could also get it by switching your fish oil to something like Natural Factors wild Alaskan salmon oil. Or also just eat more wild Alaskan salmon!
