This section covers joints, bones and everyday pain. It is split into Joint Pain Relief, Back and Neck Pain, Bone Health, and Nerve and Neuropathy.We check common ingredients such as glucosamine, chondroitin, turmeric, collagen, calcium, vitamin D and alpha lipoic acid against human study doses. Every review also covers side effects, interactions and refund terms.Ask your doctor before use if you take blood thinners, have diabetes or kidney disease, or are pregnant. Severe or sudden pain needs medical care.Which joint supplements have been studied in people?Glucosamine and chondroitin are the most studied joint supplements. NCCIH says large studies have found mixed results for knee osteoarthritis pain, with many showing little or no benefit. Other ingredients such as turmeric and fish oil have smaller amounts of research. Exercise and weight control are well supported. Ask your doctor if you take blood thinners.Source: Glucosamine and Chondroitin for Osteoarthritis, NCCIH
Boswellia extract and collagen have the best evidence for joint pain, with small but consistent benefits for knee osteoarthritis in pooled trials of 545 and 2,856 people. Turmeric, ginger and chondroitin have limited support. Glucosamine, fish oil and vitamin D did not beat placebo or a low dose in large trials. Exercise and weight loss still come first.
