Arthritis / Joint Pain

Arthritis is one of the leading causes of pain in the US. It takes more than 100 different forms, but the two most common are osteoarthritis, the wear-and-tear kind, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease.

WHATS NEW
Glucosamine sulfate. This nutritional supplement may relieve the painful symptoms of osteoarthrifis. Studies show that it can reduce pain and slow cartilage loss, though it may only work in those with mild to moderate arthritis. The typical dosage for glucosamine sulfate is 1,500 mg daily. Allow 8 weeks before deciding if it works for you.
