Do Joint Supplements work?Updated a year ago
Two of the most common supplements used to treat joint health are Glucosamine and chondroitin, which are natural compounds found in healthy cartilage. The gradual degeneration of cartilage can lead to pain, swelling and other symptoms, making glucosamine and chondroitin effective because of their anti-inflammatory properties. They also protect cells called chondrocytes, which help to maintain cartilage structure (Arthritis Foundation).
