Tom,

I have been taking that supplement for about 10 years now.

In addition to my Triumph habbit, I also did alot of rock collecting which is 
similar to hard rock mining with hammers and chisles.

Anyway I was always sore, joint pain etc. So I started taking the supplement.

About 5 years ago started running to get in to better shape, etc.

Joint pain is a thing of the past for me.

But my diet has not changed. Always plenty of veggies etc. All kinds, colors 
etc.

As far as the nightshade theory, so far that is what it is. May help some but 
everyone is different. And as far as I can tell, most plants do their growing 
at night. THey make sugar during the day and burn that sugar to grow at 
night.

But biology was a very long time ago.
