hi im not too sure if this is the correct place to put this..

so sorry in advance if it isn't..

I've just found out my sister has been taken jointease tablets from natures range for her rheumtoid arthiritis.. i just wanted to know if anyone can give feedback - if it works or not?

or can anyone recommend a better product?

all suggestions would be greatly appreciated..

thanks

Jointease website

From the above website you can find out some of the main ingredients of this product but reputable companies are able and willing to give a precise breakdown of the active ingredients in their products.

Glucosamine and chondroitin do have a scientific backing to their effectiveness in joint problems. However the amount of Glucosamine which has been shown to be effecitive is 1500mg so it is likely that as the Jointease product doesn't claim to have this amount it probably doesn't. I would be happier if she used ZIPVIT Joint Genie which does state the amount of active ingredient.

You may also want to read the information at Supplementation of fish oil and olive oil in patients with rheumatoid arthritis Where you will see that those who received fish oil omega-3 fatty acids (3 g/d) and 9.6 mL of olive oil showed a more precocious and accentuated improvement. 2 teaspoons of Zipvits Omega Juice would provide 3g of Omega 3 and 2 teaspoons of ordinary olive oil would help with the speed and effectiveness of the improvement.

I had a mailshot from natures range this week about jointease, and as I suffer from a dodgy back and arthritic hip I read the leaflets which seem quite impressive.
Any up to date thoughts on the effectiveness of jointease?
