Iceland Health...a miracle or I'm a head case.

I'm a hard-science girl. I've never been the type to do the crunchy, whole-body-earth-spirit, eat shark testicles and live forever thing...but I think it might be time to change my tune.

I've been battling some lingering foot/knee issues for the past 6 months that have kept me out of my running shoes. Despite rehab, resting, etc, things just didn't seem to be getting any better, and I was getting mighty frustrated. I was voicing said frustrations to my mom when she was out here a month or so ago, and she told me about this new "miracle supplement" she'd been taking. I rolled my eyes but kept listening while my mom told me about her experience with Iceland Health Joint Supplement (stupid name, yah?). She told me how a golfing buddy of hers with chronic back pain started taking it, and his back pain immediately decreased by 75%. She said that she'd started taking it a few weeks ago for the nagging pains associated with being middle-aged and playing 4 rounds of golf a week (tough life, I know), and that she hadn't taken a single Advil since she started popping IH. I nodded while she talked, and with only one last eye roll, I filed this information away and moved on to more important matters (like dessert).
Well, a few weeks ago I vowed to start running "for serious" again, and after run #1, it was obvious that the knee/foot issues were still around. Overcome with frustration that was quickly morphing into desperation, I high-tailed it to the nearest Walgreens for some IH. Who would have guessed that a mere 2 weeks later, I'd be writing a blog post about my virtually pain-free 8 mile run on Sunday (which is the longest I'd run since February, FYI). Yep, after 2 weeks of gagging down 2 nasty, fishy, olive green pills a day, my joints and ligaments have apparently been adequately supplemented, and I'm running like a normal person again. Maybe it's all in my head, but whatever the cause, I'm feeling much much better. I definitely recommend this bottle of omega goodness to anyone suffering joint related pain/injuries. Hopefully you won't be disappointed.
