Arthritis supplements
While not everybody agrees that supplements are useful, there is quite a lot of anecdotal evidence to support them.
Couple of most hyped supplements for arthritis include glucosamine and chondroitin.
Glucosamine is an amino sugar that may have a major role in cartilage repair, it can also have minor anti inflammatory effects.
Chondroitin is also component of cartilage, it works very much similarly to glucosamine.
They can be very useful when the pain is directly cause by cartilage breakdown.
There's some scientific evidence to back up their usefulness, and they might be worth trying, especially in case of osteoarthritis.
But, remember that
glucosamine & chondroitin are sold as dietary supplements, and supplements aren't regulated with the scrutiny of drugs.
So, make sure to purchase from reputable sources, or better yet buy a branded product, and you'll minimize the risks of ending up with an unworthy product that doesn't even have a change to work.
