3 Knee Arthritis Supplements BETTER than Glucosamine!

What an excellent video. No hype, no repetitive build up. Just plain speaking with useful information. Thanks!

I feel very differently about glucosamine. My mother had excruciating neck pain about 20 years ago. We thought it would lead to her demise, but her doctor suggested glucosamine with chondroitin and after taking it for 2 weeks, she hasn't suffered any pain since. Today, she is 88 and no mobility issues or pain apart from minor aches and pains that don't really slow her down. She still gardens though tires more easily. My husband had terrible lower back pain, and he too started taking this same supplement. It works for him too. He tested it by stopping to take it. Within 2 weeks the pain returned and back he went taking it again. It takes about 2 weeks before the effects wane once you stop and 2 weeks from starting before effects are noticed. I read it only works for about 20% of the population and it's not known why. To be fair, I don't know if knee and hip pain would react differently to glucosamine. I have only seen it work 100% for neck and lower back pain. I'd give it a go if no other drug contraindications/conditions exist.

[@bigoldgrizzly]

One very important thing to note with turmeric is that it has quite strong blood thinning properties. I found this out after 'shaking hands' with a Stanley Knife and the hospital had a bit of a struggle stemming the flow. Fortunately, one of the Indian Doctors questioned me about any supplements I was taking and immediately spotted the culprit. I still take turmeric [it is very effective for me, particularly knees] but those folks already on blood thinners or who are going in for an operation must discuss matters with their Doctor before starting it's use. I have had it added to my notes at the GPs and at the 2 hospitals I regularly attend. Be prepared for a blank stare from many Doctors, as they will not be aware of this property, but a good pharmacist should have a better awareness of this potential problem.

Each capsule contains the equivalent of a big enough heap of raw turmeric to flavor several family sized meals. The same is true of the black pepper extract added to each capsule. It certainly pays to take these capsules with a meal containing fats/oils, as both the curcumin and pepper extracts are oil soluble and only when dissolved can they be taken up and made available for use by the body during the digestive process.

[@chriseidam7319]

Thanks for the helpful video. I must state that glycosamine has been revolutionary for me. My knees were damaged when I was hit by a drunk driver while I was bicycling back in 1990. For 30 years I suffered knee pain. I was eventually diagnosed with arthritis. By a stroke of luck, I encountered somebody in my line of work that had suffered a terrible list of injuries from a catastrophic car crash and she was the person who educated me on the benefits of glucosamine. Within three days of starting the supplement I noticed a major change in my knee pain. It was gone. I am a backpacker. I hiked through the pain for years. With glucosamine I no longer have to hike through pain. Just the same, I am interested in those other supplements. I already take turmeric periodically but it's good to know that I have to up the dosage. I already knew about the black pepper.

I hope I'm not getting a bunch of pollutants that accumulate in fish. I don't eat a lot of fish because they collect things like dioxin, mercury, lead and PCBs in their fat cells.

Boswellia Serrata extract is also often used to relieve knee OA pain and swelling. Like curcumin it is not very absorbable and so it is best to combine it with piperine (Black pepper) like curcumin or use a formula that is known to be highly bioavailable like ApresFlex. You should make sure to look into the safety of any herbal supplement, tolerable upper limits, etc., and the quality of whatever brand you choose.

Love your program I want to weigh in on some thing I take turmeric I take a half a teaspoon of turmeric powder. I boil the water, put the turmeric in the water, stir it up and then I strain it to get any solids out of it into another cup. I only use one cup of water to boil but I put my half a teaspoon and the turmeric when I get it out of the microwave which is what I use to boil my water. Oh I stir it up real good then I strain it into another cup. I take the turmeric water add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 100% pure, a pinch of black powder a very tiny amount of cinnamon add that to the turmeric water and Sarah real good then I took a packet of green tea and really soak it as good as I can let it sit for at least 10 to 15 minutes then I take a tablespoon of honey. Add that to the drink stir well drink it down. Make sure you wait before you add a honey at least 10 to 15 minutes depending on how boiled the water is are you see running on the microwave? I have a high voltage microwave that’s three minutes if you have a low voltage microwave you might want to go for minutes and it works great and turmeric doesn’t do just what they say it does. It also will clean your liver out if you have a fatty liver over a small period of time with the turmeric, I add a tablet of ginger root as I drink it down that’s pill form, I take that every night and I’ll only helps my arthritis but it also helps me sleep at night ever since I came back from Vietnam I have been restless I’ve never had much of a good nights sleep not until now. Also, you might recommend that people take niacin it’s an over-the-counter supplement just straight niacin it has components in it that will relax your arthritis. You’ll be surprised you won’t have the tension. You won’t have the arthritis pain if you have moderate arthritis, I have moderate arthritis whether it will work on severe arthritis. I can tell you because I don’t have severe arthritis only moderate arthritis in my hands, my hip and my knees, but these are good items to think about because they’re worth it and that is called temp turmeric tea. whatever you do, do not take aspirin with your turmeric. It will have adverse effects and you won’t like it. I had excessive bleeding when I took baby aspirin. Every time I would go to the bathroom I would pour blood out like it’s a gallon and a half then I realize I’ve got a problem and I came to the conclusion finally with the doctors answer that stop taking the aspirin. It’s causing you to bleed a G.I. bleeding in the colon oh that’s the best I can give you sorry to make it so long. Love your program keep it up. I watch it when I can.

To everybody, you can buy cooker man, which is all you need cook a man is what does all the work you could avoid all of the other things that are involved with turmeric and just take Uckermann start with a very low dosage of the supplement and then if you need to work your way up a little higher do so, but don’t stay at a high level all the time try to stay within the medium range too much it can be excessive and you may have problems with gall stones and everything so you want to be careful and how much you use I will stay at the lower figure every day take whatever tablet at a low milligram do that every day and I think you should be all right

I have used DMSO since 1997 and with much success. MSM is a second generation type originating from DMSO. I use 99% pure DMSO. Dimethyl Sulfoxide! Rimso50 is the only FDA allowed type. It's 50% only. Of coarse Rimso-50 is only used for Interstitial Blastitis which is inflammation of the bladder. I've used DMSO for torn Miniscus, swelling in fingers, shoulder pain, and unspecified allergic reactions (I believe it was from allergic reaction to an antibiotic) .... I've treated elderly folks' shoulders and knees also. This is an incredible substance! The military used it for traumatic head injuries in some cases, when DMSO could be introduced into the inner skull areas to help stop, prevent, or/and reduce inflammation in the brain. FDA has balked at allowing DMSO approval since the 1960's. Mainly because Big Pharmaceutical Corporations cannot get a patent on DMSO, therefore they cannot make big money on it!

The supplement that helps most to reduce pain and improve mobility in my arthritic knees is one pill a day containing undenatured collagen type II (aka UC-II) - 40 mg, Boron as boron glycinate - 5 mg, and Hyaluronic acid as sodium hyaluronate - 3.3 mg. I have tried Turmeric with piperine (black pepper) and Omega-3 supplements, but they upset my stomach a lot. Recently, I started taking a supplement containing hydrolyzed collagen peptides to improve the condition of my skin, hair, and nails, which seemed to be having trouble adjusting to the arid desert environment when I relocated from the Alabama Gulf coast to southern Arizona. I have been slathering on moisturizing lotions and sunscreen to protect my skin, but the improvement has been small. After taking the collagen peptide supplement for a couple of weeks, not only did my skin, hair, and nails improve noticeably, but to my surprise there also seemed to be some improvement in my knee pain and mobility in addition to that provided by the supplement I discussed above. It is too early to tell if this recent improvement is just a natural variation in my knee pain and mobility, or due to the hydrolyzed collagen peptides. Since the hydrolyzed collagen peptides supplement is producing an improvement in my skin, hair, and nails, I will continue to take it whether or not it continues to improve my knee pain and mobility. This supplement is a powder, and the recommended serving of 2 heaping tablespoons contains 3 g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides. The recommended dosage is 3 servings per day, for a total of 9 g of hydrolyzed collagen peptides per day.

[@maradall]

I have a friend who has knee arthritis from a car crash injury, who swears by gelatine (another source of collagen) - just a spoonful a day, stirred into water. I tried it for a month or so and it did nothing for me (at that stage, I only had finger arthritis) so I stopped. However, it's cheap and readily available, so it could be worth a try for many people.

[@luminiferous1960]

@@maradall According to Healthline, collagen supplements are mostly made of a completely hydrolyzed form of collagen called collagen peptides, and these are easier to digest than gelatin, which is made of partially hydrolyzed collagen. Thus, gelatin is easier to digest than pure collagen, but collagen peptides are easier to digest than gelatin. Also, collagen peptides dissolve in both hot and cold water. In contrast, most forms of gelatin only dissolve in hot water. If one is able to digest gelatin, then like hydrolyzed collagen peptides, it may improve skin, joint, gut, and bone health.

I tried tones of glucosamine and chondroitin, and it did NOTHING for my OA hip and ankle (past injury.) Then I started taking large doses of D3 in early 2020. (Something about a virus? 😉 ) I was pleasantly surprised when, a month+ later, I woke up to find my chronic hip pain gone, along with ankle, back, and deep leg aches and pains. Turns out that immune cells produce less inflammatory agents when 25-D levels get up around 50~60 ng. Reduced inflammation gives the joint a chance to partially heal which, in turn, reduces wear and tear and inflammation. 3 years later, my joints still feel 20+ years younger. As for Omega 3, I just eat one or two salmon burgers a day. I started doing this more recently, and it seems to have reduced BP substantially. Very nice!

For arthritic knee pain, which began in my 30's -- as well as more recent hip pain -- over the years I've read a lot of books and have tried about every remedy and supplement on the market. I am a strong believer in exercise for the reason that it works. But before embarking on an exercise program, I strongly recommend you purchase at least one good book on the knee and exercise for it, such as the books mentioned below. Credentialed professionals who do physical therapy for a living are a great resource. There are some of those with KZbin videos also. I happen to have a Total Gym and have found that doing squats on it and building up my knees, provided I do enough of them and keep this up several times a week, has reduced my knee pain by about 85 percent ... and if I don't do the exercises for a while, I can tell it. For additional strengthening, I use deep knee squats, hanging on to a sofa or something else to help stay stable. As far as supplements, having tried everything, I experience the most pain relief from Type I and III collagen powder, 12 grams once or twice per day; I use Neocell or Anthony's brands, in shakes; on alternate days, Neocell tablets, 6 once or twice per day. I also use and recommend Metagenics EPA-DHA capsules, 720 mg, and I add a DHA capsule with it; can be taken with or without food. Added to these I've lately been using NOW Quercetin/Bromelain capsules, 2 in the morning on an empty stomach and these help also. I am not affiliated with any of those companies mentioned. I've also found that heat works well, I use a wrap-style heating pad ... however with the exercise and supplements I don't need that very often.

I have found listening to this so helpful and informative and added to that you are not from "across the pond"!I shall look into these particular supplements as I am currently experiencing a crippling attack of knee arthritis (2 weeks). GP physio said to do certain exercises which made it worse. Rest and Paracetamol and 10% Ibugel at the moment. I would like to avoid knee replacement replacement if possible. I am 76, on Apixaban, Losartan, 1.25mg beta blocker and Adcal. Have been on Glucosamine for years and thought it was helping, but isn't now obviously.

[@yaxbax9171]

Also Aubergine , Chili, Paprika and many more also in fruits. And Tabak , anyhow better don’t smoke . Everyone can find out more about it online. The nightshade plants usually also promote histamine and therefore trigger allergies. Of course, it is difficult to avoid all of these foods. It can work if you make sure to only have one vegetable or fruit of this type on your plate. So no “ratatouille” , tomatoes with paprika and potatoes, you already have three on your plate.

[@mohammedsalem450]

I am on the keto diet. The only night shade I am consuming is tomatoes. Pain is still there but I am not taking any supplements as I am not sure what supplements would help me.

Thanks for that information Will. Is knee arthritis equivalent to hip arthritis in regards to treatment? In other words, will my hips benefit from your advice?

[@vivianastridge2167]

It is quite understandable that all or most videos on the subject have only the interest of the person afflicted with a particular condition. Over here turmeric and black pepper are essential elements to all meals, whether vegetarian or other. Despite the claims made for healing effect of turmeric and black pepper, there are more arthritics over here than in other countries. Of the four people living in my building two of us are arthritic one of them being myself and another who is very severely afflicted and turmeric and black pepper are essential to our food. The one element that really and truly helps is the use of knee braces. Not just any knee brace but a genuine off loading type of which there are just three types manufactured in the world. Strangely I have not found one single video putting forward the case for off loading knee braces .My personal experience would seem to indicate an extension of ten years to the active life of an arthritic using off loader braces. I am in no way , even remotely, connected or associated with knee brace manufacturers but I do feel very strongly that this method of dealing with a crippling affliction has not been given near enough coverage.

[@4UStevePerry]

You need to look at the peer review evidence for consuming Extra Virgen Olive Oil and the effects on both types of arthritis. The results are very positive. As a dipping oil with balsamic vinegar, it has to be the most effective best tasting medicine money can buy. Also good for heat health etc.

[@cinthy664]

Excellent video, just what I needed

[@newyorkguy158]

You have good information in your videos, but not in this one. Glucosamine for osteoarthritis of the hips and knees has been around and effective for much longer than 10 years. I started taking it in 2000 for OA of my right hip. At that time, I had severe pain in my groin and a very bad limp. My rheumatologist said I would need a hip replacement within 5 years. He asked me if I wanted a referral to a surgeon at that time. I told him that I had started taking glucosamine a few days earlier and I wanted to see if it would work. Within a week, my pain was gone in all normal activities, walking, standing, sitting and sleeping. My limp was also gone. I used to sprint to catch a bus or race down a flight of steps to catch a train without pain. Once in a while, I might have a moment in which I experienced some pain, but it was fleeting. I was basically free of pain for 15 years. I never felt that I received any benefit from a product containing chondroitin with the glucosamine. Also, I used high quality glucosamine products, some of which also included proprietary ingredients like boswelia, but most did not. Glucosamine is a large molecule. A special formulation is required to make it absorbable in the joints. It is not broken down in the stomach. Typical pharmacy houses brands were ineffective. I had to pay more to get a high quality product that worked. After a few years, some brands that were effective began to become ineffective and I would have to change brands. Fortunately, there were a few brands that worked. After 15 years, I felt that the glucosamine was beginning to become ineffective. After 18 years, in 2018, I had a hip resurfacing which restored my hip to new without a hip replacement. I was lucky. You are mistaken about studies. There are studies that show that glucosamine is often effective for pain relief. Many people have had the same experience as myself. Maybe the numbers are in the millions. I don't believe that it grows new cartilage, just brings pain relief. I don't think it is well-understood how it works. Maybe it gets between the bones and buffers them, something like that. I tried turmeric and fish oil in the past, but neither reduced my pain. Turmeric is not well-absorbed. As with glucosamine, you need a special formulation to make it more absorbable. I tried such a product but it didn't produce results.

[@rredding]

Very well described, thank you. Please see my own effective solution for my arthritis elsewhere in the comments, 4 of my friends and acquaintances benefit also from it, and cost is low. (Boron, prepare it as a low dose solution in water at home. You only need a low cost electronic scale, preferably with reading in 0.1 grams)

[@newyorkguy158]

@@rredding Thanks. I will look into it. I think that plums are known to have a good amount of boron. I quickly scanned the comments but didn't see yours. It's probably in the replies. It would help if you could cut and paste it here.

[@rredding]

Yes, I understand.. It was in a reply. I removed the non-relevant texts. There is a lot of info to be found in fora, like "grassroots" and I found first references in a forum for preppers that caught my interest. I started searching and discovered many more sites with experiences from people using it. I use 10 milligrams of elemental boron per day. I may add to the text below that boron has some detoxing priorities, like removal of heavy metals, fluor and molds (Candida). So, if your body has toxins, a Herxheimer reaction may occur. This means that you may encounter some reactions, please look up the subject if you are not familiar with it. In such a case you may lower to e.g. 2 or 3 mg daily for a few weeks. Ok, I posted some text below. I got rid of my pain in wrists and fingers, and I can say that four of my friends repeated it. One of my friends has a mother who is able to climb stairs up and down again after she started taking it also. Unknown to most MDs, but some pharmacists perhaps know it.. In countries where the soil has no BORON (an element with properties close to Silicon), like Haiti, arthritis is abundant. In areas where Boron is mined, and it is in drinking water and vegetation, almost no arthritis occurs, like in Israel, Turkey and some areas in the USA. I make my own supplement, a low dose of boron in water. After 4-8 weeks of use I was pain free and could open jars again and this works for 70-80% of people. You may search and download pdf's "Nothing boring about Boron" and "The Boron conspiracy". On KZbin you can find some presentations by Dr Jorge Flechas on boron and other supplements like iodine and silica. I found them very interesting! Even if you type his name they won't turn up as firsts, but you will find them eventually. As said, I use Boron, which is a great supplement for bones. It regulates calcium, magnesium and phosphor. It supports hydroxylation and this increases free vitamin D3, regulates testosterone, estrogen, and helps your brain. It is anti-inflammatory, and anti-mold. May help sleeping better. *Very good against osteoporosis, when combined with vit D3, K2(!!), magnesium* I make my own Boron supplement. I purchased borax on the internet. Some $10=€10 per kg, this amount is good for 30 years of use! Dead cheap! On this dose, it will cost you $0.001 per day. Now you may understand why nobody will perform a clinical trial and why MDs are not reached about it. Nada pecunia.. No-one will earn one cent from it. The recipe: *I dissolve 10 grams borax in 500 ml water. 1 ml solution contains 2 mg of active Boron. I take 5 ml daily, that equals 10 mg elemental Boron.* The solution tastes quite bad, so I put orn a glass of water, in coffee or in food. I wish you a healthy life! 🙏🏻💚

[@newyorkguy158]

@@rredding Thank you for the information. I knew that boron was good for the bones. I have seen it added to some formulations of glucosamine. Borax is well known as a cleaning agent, not something to ingest. I have known about it all of my life. It's a sodium salt, so when you say are taking elemental boron, I'm not sure what you mean. Look at this: "According to the NLM’s Toxicology Data Network, borax is easy for the body to break down when either inhaled or swallowed. However, if inhalation or ingestion occurs, both serious poisoning and organ damage can result. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned borax as a food additive1. While borax may be natural, that doesn’t mean it’s completely safe. Borax often comes in a box with a caution label warning users that the product is an eye irritant and that it may be harmful if swallowed." Just from this alone, I would not take Borax. However, it's possible to buy boron supplements. Life Extension has a product on Amazon, 100 capsules of 3 mg. boron for $5.63, a very low price and probably without any risk. It may be necessary to take some other mineral with it. That I would have to research.

[@rredding]

@@newyorkguy158 I wanted to know more about risks and benefits and did a deep dive in available literature. Btw, please search and read "nothing boring about Boron". It all depends on the dose. With elemental boron I mean the amount of pure boron, the element, in the borax salt. Borax contains 11.3% Boron, so 88 mg borax has 10 mg of boron.. The capsules that you buy ("3 mg boron") often contain borax with fillers. From the top of my head, I remember reading about toxicity: Compare the LD50 values for borax and eg table salt, NaCl. They are comparable.. (LD50 is the "lethal dose" where 50% dies or is serously harmed after a single dose. For rats it is 2.66 g/kg bodyweight). Other values you may want to look up for yourself, like for aspirin, paracetamol or ibuprofen. Toxicology studies found that in lab animals effects were found (eg in testicles) at certain doses. In humans this translated to 1200 mg daily. After applying a safety factor of 60, the upper level in USA is 20 mg of elemental boron per day (177 mg borax). In EU: 10 mg. If you do a search yourself, you may find that mold, like Candida requires higher doses, like,70-150 mg of elemental boron daily. I am not a medical doctor and I don't want to go advising doses higher than what's considered as supplemental, so I mention the 10 mg value. From own experience I know it's effective and doesn't harm, and it's extremely cheap.
