COULD SUPPLEMENTS AID MY ARTHRITIS?

My doctor says I'm likely to need knee replacement surgery at some point in the future as I have arthritis in both my knees. I'm keen to delay this for as long as possible. I have been reading about glucosamine and there seem to be mixed reviews, but I'm happy to give it a try if you think it's worth it.

Some studies have shown glucosamine to reduce pain and slow down the progression of arthritis, but the NHS feels there is insufficient evidence to support its widespread use. If you would like to try it, I would recommend using glucosamine sulphate at a dose of 1.5g a day for three months to see if it eases your pain.

Is timing everything with acne cream?
