Joints in the body become less supple and more inflamed due to a range of health conditions and growing older – but you don’t have to suffer. While there are medical treatments for joint pain, there’s also evidence a number of supplements can be effective in managing joint pain and help long term conditions.
Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a key component in cartilage around your joints.
Research by scientists has shown that taking a daily glucosamine sulfate supplement could improve osteoarthritis-related joint pain and slow the progress of the condition.
Capsaicin
Capsaicin is most commonly known for being the compound that gives chillis their heat.
But, it can also reduce the release of signals that cause pain in the body.
It’s available in creams, patches and gels, and the effects last a few hours, so you can reapply whenever you need to during the day.
