A variety of complementary health approaches have been studied for osteoarthritis, including some dietary supplements. Here’s what the current science says:
  • Despite extensive research, it’s still uncertain whether glucosamine and chondroitin have a meaningful impact on osteoarthritis symptoms.
  • Not enough research has been done on methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) to show whether it’s helpful.
  • Studies of S-adenosyl-L-methionine for osteoarthritis symptoms have had conflicting results.
