Sparkle is right - Vitamin D and omega 3 might help. Joint and muscle aches can be a sign of a lack of vitamin D.
Doing the right exercises also helps. Inevitably some joint and muscle pain emerge as we age. Hrt can help but it doesn't fix everything. DG x

Also as oestrogen levels drop so muscles may become lax = aches and pains.
