Arthritis is not a natural part of aging. There are more than 100 forms of arthritis. Some forms of arthritis are caused by wear and tear of cartilage and bones while others are caused by inflammation and autoimmune responses. Whatever the cause, many are potentially preventable and curable while the severity of some forms can be minimised or controlled. While drugs are effective in many cases, the long term usage brings about undesirable side effects. This is where dietary supplements can help. Supplements can be used as adjunct or complementary to drug therapy. In some cases supplements can replace drug therapy. Choose a supplement that contains the following ingrediants: SAMe, Cetyl Myristoleate, Celery Extract, Phellodendron Bark, Boswellia extract, MSM, piperine, tumeric and ginger.
