Creaking, aching joints? I drink A LOT of water. Herbs or vitamins?!
Question: You can also try to browse at mamaherb, you can get many natural treatments for joint pain and you can sort each and everyone to see to how many people each treatment actually helped; you can get ratings of each treatment; a survey is attached to each, to know what to expect and comments which create a conversation about each treatment. In addition, you can chat with the publisher of the treatment and ask him direct questions and talk to people who suffer from the same problem. I hope it can help you.

What do you mean, "creaking, aching joints?" If you're referring to weak, aching, inflamed, arthritic, or injured joints, the treatment may be different in each case. Generally speaking, if you receive some sort of manual therapy, like massage, physical therapy, osteopathic therapy, even chiropractic therapy, this can help to reduce stiffness and inflammation and and improve range of motion and flexibility. Regular exercise can also improve the condition, along with a healthy diet.
"Herbs or vitamins?" The answer is "Yes!" Both should be viewed as medicine, and not taken lightly. Most people should increase their consumption of Vit. C to about 3g per day (that's 3,000 mg) or more, unless they are sedimentary. Then only take about 1.5g - 2g per day. As for the rest, you should consult a nutritionist, Naturopathic Doctor, or a therapist who has studied nutrition extensively. Some health food personell are only looking at selling product, and may not have the knowledge to truly help you. Some people end up taking an over dose or under dose of many kinds of vitamins and minerals, then wonder why it doesn't help their condition.
When taking herbs, you want to be extra careful. Herbs can be a powerful medicine when used correctly. Know what you're taking and why. Don't just grab a hand full of something and pop it in your mouth just because someone told you it was good for you. Do you research, or ask someone who is knowledegable about the herbs in question.
MSM Works for me. It helps you make more joint fluid. I'm young, but if I don't take it every day I creak.
