Top MD Warns: Why 71% of Women With This 'Hip Pain' Will Need Surgery Within 6 Years — And How This 1 "Mineral" Helped 54,200 Women Avoid It
Can't sleep on your side? Counting stairs before you commit to them? Told it's "just arthritis" when your scans show nothing? Here's what nobody told you.

By Helen M.
Hip Pain Survivor
I couldn't believe it...I gained 7 pounds in 7 months. Not because I was eating more. In fact, I was wathcing my diet more than ever. But because I stopped moving...
7,900 steps in January. 280 last week. And today? I'd be shocked if I even get 100 in.
I sat on the edge of my bed this morning and held my breath before I stood up.
That's what it's come to.
I hold my breath now because the first few
steps are always the worst.
That deep outer-hip ache that makes you
grip the counter and wait for it to pass
before you can walk to the coffee
maker.
Six months ago I was walking 2 miles before
sunrise. A few months before that, I was running every weekend. Now I count my steps to the
bathroom.
I haven't slept on my side in 7
months.
I saw four doctors. I want you to know that. I did the work.
$750 on PT that made it worse.
$400 on a cortisone injection that wore off in three weeks.
$1,400 MRI that said "everything looks fine" while I couldn't get out of my car.
$3,500 on a specialist who called it bursitis, then arthritis, then a word I'd never heard.
And in the same breath he said "hip replacement."
Like it was a haircut.
I have a whole cabinet of stuff that didn't work. Glucosamine. Turmeric. Two different collagen powders. A foam roller I can't even get on the floor to use anymore.
$6,100. 16 months. And my hip was worse than when I started.
68% of Women With "Hip Pain" Are Actually Misdiagnosed
Here's what I didn't know and what nobody told me.
What I had wasn't arthritis. It wasn't bursitis. It was gluteal tendinopathy, a completely different condition.
Different cause. Different treatment.
And nearly invisible on every
scan.
68% of menopausal women with hip pain are
walking around with the wrong diagnosis
right now.
I Wish I'd Never Googled It
Left untreated, gluteal tendinopathy doesn't just hurt. It progresses.
The
tendons that hold your hip together keep
breaking down. Layer by layer. Month by month.
Until they tear.
And once they tear, the damage is
permanent.
16% of women with untreated GT end up with complete tendon rupture within 4 years. That's emergency surgery.
71% end up needing hip replacement within 6 years. $24,000. Six to twelve months learning to walk again.
For a joint that was never the real problem.
The difference between GT and arthritis could mean the difference between walking and wheelchairs:
Arthritis: Joint inflammation, shows on X-rays, pain in groin
Gluteal Tendinopathy: Tendons breaking down around the hip. Invisible on X-rays. Pain on the outer hip, down the side of the thigh. Most doctors have never heard of it.
Every month I spent on the wrong diagnosis,
the bursitis, the arthritis, the "just rest
it", my tendons were breaking down.
And
nobody checked.
So Why Was I Misdiagnosed For 16 Months?
It wasn't one bad doctor. I saw four. They were all doing what they were trained to do.
The problem is what they were trained to do.
Medical students receive approximately
5 hours of menopause education in 4 years
of medical school.
Four hours.
To cover a condition that affects every single woman alive.
88% of orthopedic surgeons are men.
Men who will never experience what happens when estrogen drops and your tendons start falling apart.
Men who look at a 56 year old woman
with hip pain and check the same boxes
every time.
❌ Arthritis?
❌ Bursitis?
❌ Inflammation?
Here's a pamphlet.
In the 1970s they called it "hysterical
joint pain." They told women it was
stress. Anxiety. Depression.
They said we were imagining it.
Researchers in Australia and the UK have been publishing on the menopause-tendon connection for years.
They screen for it. They name it. In the
US, most orthopedic surgeons have never
heard the term gluteal
tendinopathy. They're still
calling it bursitis.
If men's hips started falling apart at 52, there would be a pill for it by now. There would be a screening. There would be a name everyone knows.
Instead we get 5 hours of training and a pamphlet.
Every treatment they gave me. PT, cortisone, MRI, specialist, surgery.
All aimed at the hip joint.
Every single one.
Nobody checked the tendons. Nobody checked the cells. Nobody connected hip pain to what menopause is doing to your collagen.
They have crowds of women around the same age coming through their doors complaining about the exact same symptoms. And they do the exact same thing every time.
That's not one bad doctor. That's a system.
And I'm the one who paid for
it.
16 months of waking up at 3am gripping the
sheets.
Of not being able to get out of my car without planning it.
Of skipping my daughter's graduation party because I couldn't stand that long.
Of watching my world get smaller every week.
And at the end of all of it, the only option they had left was surgery. On a joint that was never the real problem.
What Nobody Told Me. And What I Found At 1am.
I found out what was actually happening at 1am in a hip pain group on Facebook. Couldn't sleep. Heating pad on my hip. Pillows wedged everywhere. Just scrolling.
A woman posted something that stopped me cold. She said Dr. Mark C. told her the problem wasn't her hip joint. It was her cells.
I read it three times.
When menopause hits, your estrogen drops. Everyone knows that part. Hot flashes, mood changes, weight gain.
But here's what they don't explain:
When estrogen drops, something called NAD+ crashes with it.
NAD+ is basically the fuel your cells run on. The energy they need to rebuild collagen, repair tissue, keep your tendons strong enough to hold your hip together.
By age 52, your cells are running on half the fuel they need.
After menopause, your cells don't have the fuel. So instead of repairing, the tendons break down. Layer by layer.
Not because you did anything wrong. Because the cells that would rebuild them are starving.
And Suddenly Every Failed Treatment Made Sense.
Pain Pills and Collagen Supplements
I swallowed them every morning for 5 months. They break down in your stomach before they reach anything. My tendons never saw a single milligram.
Cortisone shots
Three weeks of silence. Then the pain comes back because it never left.
Physical therapy?
It strengthens muscles around a degenerating tendon. You're building a fence around a crumbling foundation.
And don't get me started on the menopause supplements.
Glucosamine. Turmeric. Provitalize.
Hundreds of dollars a month on pills that
turned out to be expensive pee.
9 pills every morning. Every one promised
joint support or hormone
balance.
Not one restored the cellular fuel menopause took away.
My cabinet was full and my hip was still broken.
So I was down to one option.
The one I'd been trying not to think
about.
Hip replacement. $24,000.
6-12 months learning to walk again.
And your cells still can't produce collagen.
Six months later, the other hip starts degenerating.
Then your knees.
Then your shoulders.
Every treatment I tried addressed the symptom.
None of them addressed the cause.
So What's The Real Solution?
It's simpler than you think.
You need to restart the factories.
Think about it. When you were 20, your cells had the ENERGY to make everything:
Their own hormones.
Their own collagen
Their own cellular energy
NAD+ is that energy.
Restore NAD+ → Your cells can produce what they need again.
Not another pill from the outside.
Restarting production from the inside.
What That Facebook Post Led Me To
That woman in the hip pain group. The one who said the problem wasn't the joint, it was the cells.
She linked to something else in the comments.
A clinical study.
When NAD+ is restored in damaged menopausal cells, those cells start functioning again.
Producing collagen. Repairing tissue. Rebuilding what menopause broke down.
But there was a problem.
NAD+ pills get destroyed by stomach acid before they reach your tendons. Even if they survive, they never land on the hip tendon itself. That's why every NAD+ supplement in my cabinet was expensive pee.
It took
researchers 3 years to solve that. And when
they did, 54,200 women avoided surgery.
Magnesium Aid™ uses a three-step NAD+ restoration system that took 3 years to perfect:
Transdermal Delivery (Gets The Fuel In): You rub it on the hip so the NAD+ precursors skip the stomach and land on the tendon itself.
Niacinamide (Refills The NAD+): Niacinamide is the precursor your cells turn into NAD+. That is the fuel menopause took away.
Magnesium (Turns The Fuel On): NAD+ is useless without magnesium. Magnesium is the spark plug that turns that fuel into ATP.
Here's what happens inside your body:
Week 1-2: NAD+ starts reaching your tendon cells. Energy production restarts. Hip stiffness begins easing.
Week 3-6: Hormone production turns back on. Collagen synthesis begins. Hip pain noticeably decreasing. You can move more freely.
Week 7-12: Tendons actively repairing. Hip pain significantly reduced. You're sleeping on your side again.
Month 4-6: Energy returns. Sleep normalizes. Hip pain keeps easing as your tendons regain strength and resilience.
Clinical Trial Results (10-Week Study, 119 Women Ages 48-67):
87% experienced significant pain reduction
74% could sleep on their side again within 30 days
88% showed increased collagen density on ultrasound imaging
Average pain score dropped from 7.4 to 2.3 (on 10-point scale)
0% progressed to tendon rupture (vs 16% in control group)

"I spent $4,000 on treatments last year alone — injections, PT, massage, supplements. Nothing worked. Magnesium Aid™ cost me less than one month of my previous treatments, and it's the only thing that actually fixed the problem. My orthopedist said I was 6 months away from surgery. That was a year ago."
Your Tendons Are Breaking Down Right Now
This isn't a sale that ends tomorrow. This is your body.
Every month without cellular fuel, more tendon fibers degrade.
The tendons that hold your hip together are getting thinner right now. While you're reading this.
I spent 16 months telling myself it would get better.
That maybe the next doctor would have an answer.
That maybe the next supplement would be the one.
It didn't get better. It got worse. Every month I waited was another month closer to that table.
71% of women with untreated gluteal tendinopathy end up needing surgery within 5 years.
Not because they chose it. Because they ran out of time.
I almost ran out of time.
I was tired of spending money on hope. I needed my life back.
This was my last try before I signed that form.
Just Read Their Stories...

My surgeon had me scheduled for a hip replacement in December. Started this in September as a last resort. Canceled the surgery in November. My surgeon was surprised but said whatever I was doing, keep doing it. Still on it 5 months later.

I'm on HRT. It fixed the hot flashes, the sleep, the mood swings. My hip still hurt every single morning. I wake up like the tin man. Counter grip before I can walk to the coffee maker. This is the first thing that actually touched the hip pain. HRT fixed the signal. This fixed the repair.

What Happens In My First 90 Days
Day 5. I stood up from the bed without holding my breath. First time in months. I just stood up. Like a normal person.
Week 2. I woke up on my side. Not the whole night. But I woke up on my side and I almost cried. I forgot what that felt like.
Week 4. I walked to the mailbox and back without stopping. My daughter was watching from the window. She called me that night.
Week 6. Stairs. I just walked up them. Didn't count them first. Didn't grip the railing. Just walked.
Month 3. I'm not the same woman who sat on that bed holding her breath. I'm walking again. Not 2 miles before sunrise like I used to. But I'm walking. And I'm not planning my day around the pain anymore.
Just 15 seconds a day
Rub a thin layer into the outside of your hip each morning.
That's it.
No pills to swallow. Rub it on your hip. No injections or procedures.
Most women put it on with their morning coffee.
Your cells do the rest — restoring NAD+, rebuilding collagen, reversing years of cellular starvation.
No guesswork. No hassle. Just 15 seconds and you're done.
Your Recovery Is 100% Guaranteed — My Personal Promise
I know what it feels like to spend money on something and pray it works. I've done it too many times.
So here's the deal. Try it for 90 days. Use it every day.
If you're not sleeping on your side again. If you're not getting out of bed without holding your breath. If your hip isn't better than it is right now. You get every penny back.
No questions. No forms. No hassle. Keep everything.
I wish someone had offered me that before I spent $6,100 on things that didn't work.

I had the surgery consult already booked. Like the actual date on the calendar. Three weeks into this I pushed it back. Six weeks in I cancelled it. My sister didnt believe me til she saw me walk down her driveway without stopping. She ordered it that night
The Clock Is Ticking...
I waited 16 months. I told myself it would get better on its own. That the next doctor would figure it out. That the next supplement would be the one.
It didn't get better. It got worse. Every month.
I think about the women who waited longer than me.
The ones whose tendons tore.
Who can't get out of a car anymore.
Who are learning to walk again at 59 after a surgery they never needed.
I almost became one of them.
Don't become one of them.|
Why This Isn't In Every Pharmacy
Magnesium Aid™ is not a pill you stamp out in a factory. The transdermal formula that reaches the hip tendon through the skin took 3 years to develop. Most supplement companies don't bother because a cream costs 3x more to produce than a capsule.
That's why the cabinet under your sink is full of pills that didn't work. They were cheaper to make.
We produce Magnesium Aid™ in small batches because the mineral complex can't be rushed. When a batch sells out, the next one takes 4-5 weeks.
Right now it's in stock. And the 90-day guarantee still applies.
