Research Study - for women over 50 with knee pain
CHAMP STUDY
We are inviting women over the age of 50, who experience knee pain on most days, to participate in a research study investigating the effects of collagen hydrolysate or milk protein on joint comfort (sore or stiff knees) and skin appearance.
Participation involves taking 1 of 3 supplements (collagen, milk protein or placebo) each day for 4 months and attending two visits (4 months apart) to the Human Nutrition Research Unit (HNRU) at Massey University, Palmerston North.
For more information, scan the QR code or contact the research team: 021 764 868 (06) 951 6321.
The study has been approved by the Health and Disability Ethics Committee, HDEC Ethics Reference 2022 EXP 12925

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
