The Aegend Knee Brace Provides Support in Comfort

I've tried many neoprene knee braces over the years. One thing they all had in common was that after an hour or two they started to be uncomfortable and I had to get them off my knee ASAP. The Aegend Knee Brace is the first one I've tried that remains comfortable enough for all day wear. I've found that it has really helped to reduce the pain from my wobbly knees and decrease their hyperextension. It has slightly longer tabs that wrap around and velcro to the brace. It also has side stability supports, to keep the knee and patella stable and aligned, and a silicone strip at the top to keep it in place so it does not start sliding down the leg. It can be used on the right or left leg easily. I will say that it fits me perfectly, but someone with a larger thigh or knee area might have an issue with the velcro loop side going against the skin, rather than the brace. My thigh circumference is 18.75" and around the knee is 16". The open patella design increases breathability and aids in the comfort. The neoprene is soft and stretchable. I am also able to hand wash it. While your results may not be identical to mine, I do recommend this knee brace to provide knee stability with built in comfort for all day wear.

Maxasorb D3 Vitamin D3 cream, easy to use, effective dispensing


Ingredients: Vitamin D3, Water, Aloe, Coconut Oil, Palm Stearic Acid, Emulsifying Wax, Cetyl Myristoleate, Panthenol, Cetyl Alcohol, Vitamin E, Tetrasodium EDTA, Phenoxyethanol, Sorbic Acid, Citric Acid. It comes in a plastic bottle with a pump. It is made in the USA.

The Product: So, I wondered when I saw this product, why do I need Vitamin D3? I think I'm in the sun enough, but not too much, to get all the Vitamin D I need, and I drink milk, isn't that enough? Well, the answer is that no, it probably isn't enough. Since having cancer my immune system is shot, my osteoporosis has increased, and now I'm worried about heart health. Vitamin D3 has many health benefits, and many doctors are reporting there is a lack of D3 in our bodies. Vitamin D3 is considered to be the better Vitamin D supplement as there are less side effects or toxicity than Vitamin D2. Vitamin D3 has shown benefits for bone health, fertility, reduction in the risk of certain cancers, and improvement in the immune system. It also helps calcium to be absorbed and utilized by the body. The Maxasorb D3 provides 1000 IU of D3 in an easy to apply cream. It absorbs quickly. I apply it to my wrist area as this is one of the better areas to absorb the D3. One pump is enough to provide 1000 IU. This is one of those products where there is no definitive way to determine if it's working, but I know that it is getting absorbed into my system. Within a minute the cream is absorbed leaving a light, fresh scent and even softer skin. I do recommend this product for those who do not get enough Vitamin D. It is great to have an option of this cream, rather than having to take a pill for it.
