Man, I was going to mention Turmeric as I've just starting drinking it myself for the past couple of months. I usually mix it with purified warm water, black pepper (or just eat 2 or 3 whole black peppercorns) and sometimes lemon (depending on whether or not I have any). It seems pretty good so far. I try to stay away from almost anything pharmaceutical. I tried it because I saw/read that it was a natural anti-inflammatory. Seems to be good for me so far. Not sure how stuff like that would work with NBA level athletes, though, as their wear and tear I would assume is a lot higher than mine.
