Contrarily, the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis (ESCEO) suggests that pharmaceutical grade — or crystalline — glucosamine and chondroitin can be used as a first-line treatment for knee osteoarthritis ( 4). A 2017 double-blind, randomized study in 604 participants with knee osteoarthritis compared the effects of taking 800 mg/day of chondroitin sulfate, 200 mg/day of a popular NSAID known as celecoxib, and a placebo on osteoarthritis pain management ( 10). Dosage: Most capsaicin products – such as Zostrix,ZostrixHP,Capzasin-P and others – contain between 0.025 to 0.075 percent concentrations. Apply regularly three times daily. Claims: Reduces inflammation and treats rheumatoid arthritis (RA),osteoarthritis (OA)and bursitis symptoms. In addition to using boswellia serrata for arthritis, it’s also used totreat symptoms of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.

Turmeric? Which Medications Should Not Be Taken With Turmeric?

Curcumin present in turmeric is effective at being an anti-inflammatory, which is a natural remedy for the symptoms of arthritis and gout. Taking turmeric in combination with blood thinners can strengthen their effects and increase the risk of internal bleeding. Blood-thinning medications include

Studies: In people with lupus, DHEA treatment may reduce disease activity and flares. Studies found it allowed doctors to lower women’s corticosteroid dosages. DHEA also appeared to counteract bone loss caused by medication and increase bone density. Long-term safety, overall effectiveness and appropriate dosages have not been established. In the same study, 1250 mg/day of glucosamine hydrochloride, 1,200 mg/day of chondroitin sulfate, 100 mg/day of diacerein, 300 mg/day of avocado-soybean unsaponifiable (ASU), and a placebo didn’t change NSAID use ( 8). What we know: A potent antioxidant, melatonin regulates sleep/wake cycles. It appears to treat insomnia and sleep disturbances related to conditions likefibromyalgia and depression.Aspirin and other NSAIDscan decrease melatonin levels.

Curcumin tea or latte may be effective in fighting cancer. Some researchers hypothesize that it can reduce a cancer patient’s risk of metastasis (tumor spreading to other body parts).

Glucosamine vs. Turmeric: Which is Better for Joint Health?

What we know: Applied as a topical cream, gel or patch, capsaicin activates specific nerve receptors causing local heat, stinging and/or itching sensations. Prolonged activation of these receptors causes them to lose their ability to function properly (and process pain signals) for extended periods of time. Capsaicin must be used regularly to keep the nerve receptors from working properly and processing pain signals. Claims: Relieves pain and inflammation, improves joint mobilityinosteoarthritis (OA),rheumatoid arthritis (RA),juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)and scleroderma, and manages amyloidosis (excessive build-up of protein in organs as seen in RA). Increases blood flow to skin. Researchers have indicated that the curcumin content of turmeric helps stabilize blood sugar levels. Since curcumin may help manage blood sugar levels, it can help with fat loss. Curcumin also boosts metabolism, which means burning more calories.When taken in combination with these drugs, turmeric increases the body’s production of stomach acid. This may cause nausea, bloating and stomach pain, and damage to the esophagus. Glucosamine may cause mildupset stomach,nausea, heartburn, diarrhea and constipation, as well as increased blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride and blood pressure. In a 2017 analysis in 1,625 people with hip or knee osteoarthritis, glucosamine supplements did not significantly improve osteoarthritis pain or function compared with a placebo ( 6). MSM is a naturally occurring compound and its effects on inflammation have been extensively studied. Similar results were observed in a 2018 analysis, where combined glucosamine and chondroitin didn’t significantly improve pain or stiffness. Meanwhile, chondroitin alone led to minor improvements in pain ( 13).

Origin: One of numerous compounds known as cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, it does not have an intoxicating effect. What we know: Harpagoside, the active ingredient in devil’s claw, appears to reduce pain and inflammation in joints. Some studies suggest stomach acid may counteract benefits, so take devil's claw for arthritisbetween meals when less stomach acid is released. Turmeric helps boost immunity. Curcumin present in turmeric has antimicrobial properties that allow it to act as a natural antiseptic, which helps protect wounds from bacterial infection. It may be beneficial, especially when recovering from a cough and cold. Boosting immunity with turmeric tea may help fight infections. It also has an action on acne and boils. Studies: In 2002, the Journal of Rheumatology published a randomized double-blind study of cat’s claw for the treatment of RA. Researchers foundthatin 40 people with RA,the supplement reduced joint swelling and pain by more than 50 percent compared to placebo. Studies: Animal studies indicate that CBD may help temporary reduction in pain and inflammation, but these findings have not been validated in human studies. One study showed that a synthetically derived CBD product was effective for osteoarthritis knee pain.Studies: Many studies have shown that capsaicin for arthritis effectively reduces pain fromosteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA)andfibromyalgia. In a 2010 German study, joint pain decreased nearly 50 percent after three weeks' use of 0.05 percent capsaicin cream. Pizzorono JE, et al., eds. Glucosamine.

It can also increase bile production and help balance gut bacteria levels, giving the body a healthy digestive system.

Dosage: Tea, capsule, tablet, tincture, extract or whole leaf; capsules, up to 1,300 mg daily; tea, 1 cup, three times a day; tincture, 1 ml to 4 ml three times a day; nettle leaf applied directly to the skin. On the other hand, a 2018 analysis showed small improvements in knee osteoarthritis pain with regular use of glucosamine sulfate, though the authors suggested that higher-quality data is needed ( 7). Some chondroitin tablets may contain high levels of manganese, which could be problematic with long-term use.Studies: Results from a 2002 double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of ginkgo for arthritis, specificallythe treatment of Raynaud’s phenomenon, showed that the supplements could reduce the number of disease flares by 56 percent. What we know: SAM-e is an effective anti-inflammatory and analgesic for people with OA. Results may be felt in just one week but could take more than a month. SAM-e works closely with vitamins B-12, B-6 and folate, so it is important to get enough of the B vitamins when taking this supplement. One meta-analysis found that products containing glucosamine hydrochloride don’t do much to improve joint pain caused by osteoarthritis. Another study shows that glucosamine sulfate does improve these symptoms, so it may be a better option that glucosamine hydrochloride. What we know: Flaxseed is high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid that can be converted to EPA and DHA (the active ingredients in fish oil). Flaxseed is a good source of fiber. Dosage: Capsules, tablets, liquid and tea bags; 250 mg to 350 mg capsule daily for immune support. Buy only products that containuncariatomentosa; at least a dozen unrelated plants are also called “cat’s claw.” Look for a brand that is free of tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids (TOAs).
