Two of the most popular joint support supplements are Glucosamine, an amino sugar naturally concentrated in joint tissues, and Turmeric, a superfood spice rich with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory curcuminoids. MSM is a naturally occurring compound and its effects on inflammation have been extensively studied. Naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn) is in the class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Naproxen is prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever. Side effects, drug interactions, and pregnancy information should be reviewed prior to taking this medication. On the other hand, another 2018 analysis observed a significant improvement in pain scores when glucosamine and chondroitin were taken together, while no improvements were found when the supplements were taken separately ( 14).

Involved in the immune response, COX-2 is upregulated in inflamed joint tissues, where the enzyme’s proinflammatory effects may detrimentally impact joint health, whereas MMP weakens connective tissues by degrading extracellular matrix proteins.

Glucosamine Dosage: some preliminary research notes improvements at dosages as high as 3,000mg, yet high glucosamine dosages may also increase insulin resistance; rather, a daily dose of 500mg works for sustainable joint health enhancement.Another 2015 study also found that combined glucosamine and chondroitin supplements were comparably effective as celecoxib ( 16).

But compared to Boswellia, Devil’s Claw or any other supplement, turmeric usually works faster (at least in my case). Also, a 2-year cohort study found a 36% reduction in nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use when taking 1,500 mg of crystalline glucosamine daily ( 8).Turmeric has gained popularity as both a flavorful spice and a health supplement that can be used for a wide variety of conditions, including arthritis, diabetes, high cholesterol, heartburn, and even cancer. Pitting oedema and itching are uncommon with turmeric, but have been reported in people who took turmeric orally. Donelli D, Antonelli M, Firenzuoli F.
