Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2005What arthritis supplement works best?
Hi, my wife's been encouraging me to start taking a natural supplement for my arthritis, what would you folks recommend? Shark cartilage? Glucosamine? Collagen? Thanks, Adam >Hi, my wife's been encouraging me to start taking a natural supplement >for my arthritis, what would you folks recommend? Shark cartilage? >Glucosamine? Collagen? You need to find out 1. if you have arthritis, and 2. if you do, what kind is it? My RD recommended Glucosamine for osteoarthritis, but I have RA as well and take some of the DMARDS for that. Diagnosis is an important first step. --- Joan > You need to find out 1. if you have arthritis, and 2. if you do, what kind is > it?

Well, I've been taking Arthri-Zen for MY knees, and its worked fantastically for me, much better than the two others I took previously. I understand it works for most any arthritis, but I'm no doctor... http://www.zenrelief.com/ is where I order it, although its in stores too. I take the kind with Glucosamine and Chondroitin. -- Jeff > Well, I've been taking Arthri-Zen for MY knees, and its worked > fantastically for me, much better than the two others I took previously. > I understand it works for most any arthritis, but I'm no doctor... > http://www.zenrelief.com/ is where I order it, although its in stores > too. I take the kind with Glucosamine and Chondroitin. I think I read of Arthri-Zen somewhere... what kinds were you taking before? Welll ,,,, you have the ping and their is the pong and what you smell is spam. >> Well, I've been taking Arthri-Zen for MY knees, and its worked >> fantastically for me, much better than the two others I took previously.

I was first taking just your regular NSAIDS, Motrin I believe, and then switched to a product I saw advertised on TV called Lakota before I made the final switch. So I guess that's really one other "supplement," not two. -- Jeff > Welll ,,,, you have the ping and their is the pong and what you smell is > spam.

I have been taking Osteo Bi-Flex about 6 or 7 years, and know that it has helped me. It is a combination of glucosamine and chondroiton.

Is it just glucosamine and chondroiton, or other herbs too? Does it stop pain as well, or just rebuild the joint tissue and then your pain stops once the joints are healthier again? Also have you tried any other supplements? Adam, you can get Osteo Bi-flex with MSM, but I don't use that; I just get the one with glucosamine and chondroiton. Don't take any other supplements for OA but do take Milk Thistle for liver protection (I have some meds that affect the liver) and grape seed extract to prevent hair loss.
