You may buy Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin supplements that work together to ease the joint pain and stiffness due to osteoarthritis, or, degenerative disease causing break down of the protective cartilage between the joints, causing pain and stiffness and limiting mobility.

I have used Phosoplex, Trigosamine, and many other brands. I settled for Cosamin Ds. It is cheaper than the rest at Costco’s. I suffer occasionally from joint pain especially if I play a round of tennis. I used to take pain killers. A friend of mine told me about joint supplements.

I use Move Free Advanced. I also recommended it to a friend, but it didn’t help him. I suggest you try a few different brands and go with the one which suits you best.

Based on your comments across multiple forums where I posted my question, it seems that these products are most recommended for joint health:

Zyflamend
Celadrin
Move Free Advanced
Joint Juice
Osteo Bi-flex

Thank you all for your help, I am going to look into them. Perhaps if the information is useful I can post it for the benefit of all.

I have tried the Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin supplements; they didn't work for me. Three years ago I was told I didn't have anything to worry about when I started feeling joint pain. i was told you barely have any bone spurs and we don't understand why you are in pain. It is three years later and I had a fall because my right knee buckle on my morning walk. I went to a new doctor who told me I will need knee replacement on both my knees soon. I am only 51 years old, the likely hood that I will need another knee replacement is high. I have no other choice my cartilage is all gone on both knees I have the same problem all over my body; I feel a lot of pain
I was told I should have been on antiflamatories a long time ago.

First of all you need to see a reputable doctor that understands arthritis. In the past I tried many supplements, but I only did more damage to my joints. What you need to find out is how much damage have your joints endured. What is the best way to reduce inflamation so that you don't cause further damage to your joints. I am 51 years old and my old doctor ignored what I was saying, told me to do the chondroitin and glucosamine. I tried it continued doing what I was doing running, lunges, etc. and I was in a lot of pain at the end. In reality I needed antiflamatories and as a result of not having a good doctor I am now in the position where I will need knee replacement within the very near future.
See a reputable doctor first and then go from there is my best and highest advice I can give you.

So how do you know a reputable doctor when you see one, PatsytheArtist?
Do they wear a name tag stating so?
I do not feel that one puts oneself in jeopardy by trying alternative products. But be reasonable. It products don't work after a fair shot then find a doctor. You should also have a good diagnosis before using alternative products. How would you know how to proceed unless you know for sure whats ailing you?

There are doctors out there who specialize in treating arthritis with alternative products. Thats the kind I would look for instead of trying to do it all by myself.

One thing not mentioned here so far for joint inflammation that can be quite helpful is fish oil. Some people only need 1 gram a day, others up to 10 or 15.
