You’ve got osteoarthritis of the knee so
you reach for the ibuprofen. Would you
like more natural choices as effective
as ibuprofen?
That would be curcumin or glucosamine. A
study reported in the Journal of
Complementary and Alternative Medicine
compared the two with ibuprofen. The
research showed that the
anti-inflammatory properties of these
substances gave subjects relief from
knee pain.
If you want to use them, take 1 gram of
curcumin or 1,500 mg of glucosamine a
day. (If you take blood thinners, talk
to your doctor first).
