What types of arthritis will Joint Relief "work with"?
What factors might affect efficacy?


As we discuss on our general arthritis page, Joint Relief is a recommended "nutritional supplement" for both osteoarthritis and the more serious rheumatoid arthritic condition. This is not meant to infer that Joint Relief is a treatment or cure for arthritis. About 50% of our users report back quite favorably; however, it should be noted that statistically, that about 30% of arthritic sufferers claim that the straight MSM capsules they purchase in their local health food stores is helpful. (MSM is one of Joint Relief's ingredients.) We asked users who had used both which they found more helpful and the vast majority indicated Joint Relief; however, we were not able to find any correlation among users as to why one benefited greatly, and another very little at all.
One thing we discovered very early on was that products like Joint Relief are very cumulative in their effect. If you are the kind of person who is apt to take the product for a day or two and then forget to be regular, don't even buy it. We spoiled our customers in the early years with products like Cansema salve, where most users just apply the product once and forget about it. Joint Relief, and this includes any of the other support products on the market that address arthritis, does not work in one application. Many of our customers report back to tell us that they saw tremendous benefits, but only after taking the product regularly for two or even three weeks. Aside from pH balancing, we know of no other single product or protocol on the market today that will address arthritis. If we did, we would carry it.



What are its active ingredients?

We cover this on the main Joint Relief page. The main ingredients are: Chicken Collagen Type II, methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM), glucosamine sulfate. On this same page we provide a description of what each does.



What are users saying about effectiveness?

We covered this in Question 341 (above). About 50% report back quite favorably, regardless of arthritis type. The effects, again, are cumulative. You should be prepared to take the product for at least two to three weeks in many your assessment as to whether or not the product works for you.



Are there contraindication or toxicity issues?

Absolutely none, when the product is taken according to instructions.



What kind of clinical trials have been done on Joint Relief?

None have been done on Joint Relief, per se, but scores of studies have been done on its active ingredients. We provide references to these studies on the Joint Relief page.



What is the shelf-life of this products?

At least one year. This product, like most capsulated supplements, is fairly stable, with its low moisture, A(w) factor, and the low reactivitiy of its ingredients. Just keep in a cool, dry place.
