Why Haven't You Tried These Two Arthritis Supplements Yet?

Boswellia, derived from the Frankincense tree, has powerful pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies show it significantly reduces pain and stiffness and improves joint function. The typical dose is 100-250 mg daily. Turmeric, with its active component curcumin, also shows strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, comparable to NSAIDs but without side effects. A recommended dose is 1000 mg daily. While collagen and omega-3 fatty acids show potential benefits, evidence is less robust. Glucosamine and chondroitin offer modest symptom relief. It's crucial to choose supplements carefully, looking for NSF or USP certified products due to industry inconsistencies. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

Would you suggest this for hip osteoarthritis?

[freesk]

Boswellia seems to have helped for me. Hard to say because I did a lot of things for my knee stiffness. Chond/Gluc, reducing sugar intake, Omega 3, Turmeric, exercise... That's what I did in addition to Boswellia, and my knee stiffness is gone.

[littlevoice_]

Please speak on the different between type 2 collagen in different forms e.g. undenatured and UC-ii. This seems to affect the results in clinical trials

[angeltsvetkov]

Does turmeric and other similar supplements like the ones mentioned in this video affect PRP's effect?

[jka]

Hi doc, can we consume tumeric 500mg, fish oil 1, 200mg, and red yeast 1, 000mg in a same day? Can it cause blood thinning ?

[jazzyeric]
