Using frankincense or Boswellic extracts to treat inflammatory diseases is still in its infancy. Many more studies are needed to clarify whether Boswellic extracts can help with rheumatic diseases.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid
SUMMARY Hyaluronic acid is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, especially in association with knee joints. Early research has focused on intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid and achieved positive results. The advantage of using hyaluronic acid to minimise osteoarthritis symptoms is that it doesn’t present the same side effects as NSAIDs. This make HA more [...]

How amino acids can help treat osteoarthritis SUMMARY Foods can both help to reduce but also aggravate symptoms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other forms of joint aliments. Some amino acids such as l-arginine and l- methionine (among others) may help to combat the negative symptoms of these diseases. These amino acids can help to slow the progression of joint [...]

vitamin D
Vitamin D plays an integral role calcium absorption and utilisation, hence it’s vital role in supporting healthy bones and joints.

Glucosamine
Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance (amino sugar) in the joints. Multiple studies have shown that when glucosamine is consumed for a minimum of two to six months, it seems to have anti-inflammatory and cartilage-building effects.
MSM
MSM
MSM has a pain-relieving and detoxicating effect. The sulfur contained in MSM is an important building block for cartilage tissue. Cartilage tissue should therefore be positively affected by an increased consumption of MSM.
