Joint pain supplements?

[KatyMac]

I have a lot of joint pain and I tried rose hip which worked quite well

I've been told about glucosamine and turmeric as well

Is there something I can take with everything In or do I need to buy multiple tablets?

This qas supposed to be in general health so I've reported it to see if it can be deleted or moved

Bump

There is no magic fix supplement. I take turmeric and omega 3, as well as vit D all the time (there is some evidence they help). At the moment I am in quite a lot more pain than usual so supplementing w vit C (some evidence), and throwing in glucosamine as well (less / no evidence) because I’m prepared to give it a go for a short while.

Do you know what is causing the joint pain? Physio/ medical help also advised! I am using a tens machine at the mo which is really helping with pain control.

The official line is fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue (diagnosed in 1996)

Plus I had bilateral hip dysplasia as a baby so I walk slightly sque wiff which puts the wrong pressure on my hips back and knees

But ir all got worse with menopause and again after covid

I take regular vit d. Magnesium, zinc, iron,methyl folate, uniquinol, b12, potassium and vit k so it has to be realistic if I'm going to add it - several of those are companion supplements and I have diagnosed low levels of b12, d, zinc & folate

I take the standard Seven Seas jointcare supplex & turmeric. It's got glucosamine, omega-3 and turmeric. I don't have any specific condition, just age related aches and pains and it's definitely improved these.

That's good to know, thanks

I have RA and was told by my rheumatologist not to take fish oil as they can raise cholesterol.

Joint pain can be a real bother, but it's fantastic that rose hip has been working well for you! As for combining supplements, you might want to check out a joint supplement with turmeric. It often comes with other goodies like glucosamine.

Some folks find it super convenient to have everything bundled up in one tablet. It could be worth a shot! Of course, you can also experiment with individual supplements to tailor your approach.
