I've seen loads of adverts for the above, saying it relieves arthritis and joint pain.
Has anyone on here tried it, and if so, does it work?

Thanks for the link, Chris.
Like most supplements there's no conclusive proof.
Worth a try though, Or get some VitD tablets.
You could also try adjusting your diet. Gluten is also said to cause inflammation of joints. Research...theres not a lot of it yet...is inconclusive. But it might be worth trying removing wheat from your diet.

Mrs B swears by it, Holland and Barrett.
I went to the doctors with joint pain and the first thing she did was order a test for vitamin B. She was right.

How's your balance?

I suppose there's no harm in giving it a try.
I'll call into the chemist tomorrow and get some.
Thanks for your replies

Ummmm, my balance is fine. I suffer from osteoarthritis and I'm seeing a consultant next week regarding a hip replacement.
I'm after pain relief for the rest of my joints.
I hope you get it asap. My uncle had one and the pain was relieved within a few days.

Good luck x

Thank you, ummmm.
I had a hip replacement 3 months ago. Feel fantastic. It's not just the relief from pain, but all your movement is restored.
I have been on it for a year - I don't feel anything different.
turneric is associated with very low rates of ca colon....
before my hip rewplacement
I used not to get out of bed without 2g paracetamol on board
My mums neighbour is an anaesthetist/pain specialist and she recommends it in conjunction with ginger. look for Curcumin and zinaxin as the purified forms. I use a combination of those with glucosamine, chondroitin and salmon oil and I think it has helped.
It's part of nature's medicine chest.
I make a drink of grated ginger and turmeric in boiled every morning and I've been feeling very well, my public health nurse suggested it to me almost 2 years ago and I've noticed I have reduced my pain meds a good bit over that time
^^ boiled water
Morning ducksie xxx That's excellent.
