I think you can up the fish oil. A doc/strongman recommended 6000mg for me to help with the knee & joints in general. I believe that Vit C also helps with inflammation, but not sure of doses.

Fish oils up another 1000-2000mgs per day.

I would say gluco was fine at 2000mgs, might be worth your while using the same gluco I use with the added apple cider vinegar & quercetin from zipvit.

Cut the vit c back..imho.. unless youi are using it for a specific reason.

Geletin is also good for the joints etc

Some Fish oils are not as high quality as others. Check the Ratio of EPA/DHA I try to take about 6 x Fish oil and 2 x Evening Primrose.

Maybe add some Coral Calcium 500mg x 2 day.

I have lots of things that i like to use but dont normally
