I would highly recommend glucosamine, chondroitin, & MSM you can find it all in one as a pill, powder or liquid for joint health. Plus fermented cod liver oil for joints as well, bonus it’s good for brain health too! Last thing, trace minerals power paks year round for electrolytes, all the good stuff you need w/o the bad, like sugar, dyes, etc.

For years now glucosamine, chondroitin & MSM, wild salmon oil pill and an orange a day. After a big work session or middles in a soccer tourney, (people will hate this) some ibuprofen to keep inflammation down (but not a steady diet of it). Stay away from all sports drinks - after a thrash session - chocolate milk or even plain milk and lots of water. Eat healthy and don't smoke - everything in moderation. Daily stretching, especially achilles helps wonders as one gets on in years.
Something folks haven't mentioned above is the importance of keeping your lungs healthy - use respirators if doing dusty work or working with chemicals or paints or insulation, etc. Can't beat carrying a good set of healthy pink flexible lung tissues into old age. Good sunglasses and even sunscreen with uv block. Look after your choppers too - later on sore bleeding gums are a major source of inflammation and a spiral downwards in a lot of patients. Oh and don't forget to laugh with your kids and grandkids daily. Good thread. Cheers.

I think that’s paraphrased from C.C. Deville

58 yr old climber here....I mix a few nalgenes of honey, chia seeds and lemon juice. It helps me a lot...mostly I skip lunch when in the tree....Only sometimes I have cramped up real bad...my hands turn into hooks and I can't open them up...once I get there I'm done...nothing will bring me back...water, salt gatorade, etc.. Quite a drag when I'm mentally into it and the physicality just breaks down...and the meter keeps running...

Supplements aren’t a fix for a poor diet and lifestyle. While they can certainly help and have benefits, what is even more important for general health and your performance is diet, sleep, exercise, and also paying attention to your stress levels.

I don't suffer from stress. I'm just a carrier.

Diatomaceous Earth, its one of those things that benefits a lot of things in the body. also it has so many other uses. get a 50 pound bag of that stuff and do some research on it!

often its more of what can we eliminate to help us exist better and healthier; rather than what magic thing should we add to our lifestyle.

yoga is freakin awesome. any stretching is probably the most ignored but crucial thing every human being should be doing. especially when working as an acrobat in the trees with dangerous physics happening all around.
