I started taking Serra Gold for its anti-inflammatory properties

because I was having swelling problems in my hands. I am a musician

and my hands bare the brunt of the work and so my hands and wrists get

inflamed when I practice more than usual. The swelling got

progressively worse the more VS I added. Interestingly the swelling

has gotten better since adding OLE/Lysine. I am at 1500mg of each 3x

per day. If I miss my regular time to take the next dose of OLE my

hands start to swell again.
