Question
What should I take to prevent or slow down Osteoarthritis?

Answer
Hi Ann,

You should take the only thing proven to reverse it, glucosamine sulfate with MSM.

Take 3 grams/day, make sure it is a good brand. The only way you will know is by going to consumerslab.com

Many supplements don't have what is listed on the label since there is no FDA oversight.

It only helps if you have cartilage left, if it's bone on bone you will need surgery, the sooner you get to it the better.

One more thing, don't take prescription anything for osteo, Celebrex and company will only mask the symptoms while accelerating the disease, nice huh?

I'm glad you asked, now it's up to you.

Google it and you will know what I am talking about.


Good Luck!
