joint pains

[protozoan]

There is no need to freak out. That is really normal. As what others have said, it is a positive sign that what you have taken is a legit one.

First find out how many Red cells you make a second:
2.5 x 10^8 / 86400 seconds in a day
= 2893.5 cells per second. in this case we can say 2894

each one of the 2894 cells we made will have 3 x 10^8 hemoglobin molecules
we need to find how many they make total thus:
2894*(3 x 10^8) = 8.682 x 10^11 or 9 x 10^11 hG molecules

we know that the alpha chain having 146 Amino Acids must have 145 peptide bonds
seeing as there are 2 per molecule we times that number by two
2x145=290
we know that the beta chains having 144 Amino Acids have 143 peptide bonds
seeing as there are 2 per molecule we times that number by two
2x143=286

for every Hemoglobin there are 290 peptide bonds from Alpha chains and 286 from Beta
we can add those together to find the number of bonds per Hemoglobin
290+286=576

We then times this by the number of Hemoglobin made per second to find how many peptide bonds are formed every second.

576*(9x10^11)=5.184x10^14 or 5x10^14

This is the mathematical way to do it. However each bond isn't made at the same time and would depend on the speed of translation. That would be a whole other question and I think is out of scope of your question

what the hell is this? and how it is related to this thread?

As others have already said on the thread, joint pains are one of the most common side effects associated with this so its definitely not worth worrying about.

Some people are lucky and don't get any side effects at all, while others get them all. Either way aslong as its a normal side effect, and this is, just carry on doing what your doing.
