But they aren\u2019t always the answer for joint pain and inflammation. While supplements might seem like a quick fix, not all of them deliver the benefits they claim to. And some may even pose health risks.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you or a loved one have arthritis, here\u2019s what you need to know about which supplements to avoid, plus proven strategies to provide relief.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-5-supplements-you-shouldnt-take-for-arthritis\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> 5 Supplements You Shouldn\u2019t Take for Arthritis <\/span> <\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> 1. Glucosamine <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> According to the Arthritis Foundation, glucosamine is one of the most popular supplements for managing arthritic joint pain.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"1\"\/> Glucosamine is a naturally occurring compound in the body that builds cartilage and helps cushion joints.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"2\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> However, despite glucosamine\u2019s popularity, research reveals mixed results regarding its benefits. And a recent body of evidence shows that combining glucosamine with exercise provides no significant relief for knee osteoarthritis over exercise alone.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"3\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_13-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> There\u2019s another potential downside to this supplement. \u201cGlucosamine supplements can interact with certain medications, particularly blood thinners like warfarin,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/melissamitri.com\/about\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Melissa Mitri, M.S., RD<\/a>, a Connecticut-based dietitian and owner of Melissa Mitri Nutrition. \u201cMoreover, they can cause side effects such as diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain and even allergic reactions in some individuals.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> 2. Chondroitin <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Chondroitin is a natural part of cartilage that has long been used to treat arthritis.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"4\"\/> However, the American College of Rheumatology cautions against using chondroitin for treating knee or hip arthritis, although it may be effective for arthritis of the hand.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"5\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Trouble is, it\u2019s not safe for everyone. \u201cStudies have shown inconsistent results, and chondroitin may worsen asthma symptoms, affect blood sugar levels and interfere with blood clotting,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/foodmysteries.com\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow\">Angel Luk, RD<\/a>, a registered dietitian and co-founder of Food Mysteries. \u201cIts lack of solid scientific backing and potential risks make it a less favorable option for arthritis patients.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> 3. Red Yeast Rice <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Red yeast rice is touted for its potential anti-inflammatory benefits. However, rheumatologists question its safety. \u201cThe use of red yeast rice can lead to side effects such as muscle pain and weakness,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zeba-faroqui-md-028479178\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">Zeba Faroqui, M.D<\/a>., a rheumatologist based in Levittown, New York.\u00a0 \u201cIn some cases, it has been associated with more severe issues like liver injury and rhabdomyolysis, a condition causing severe muscle pain.\u201d In addition, it can interact with medications used for inflammatory arthritis, such as methotrexate and azathioprine, she says.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> 4. Chaparral <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_28-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Chaparral, derived from the creosote bush, has been used in traditional medicine for various health conditions, from skin rashes to cancer. However, taking chaparral could jeopardize your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/article\/7669283\/4-science-backed-ways-to-keep-your-liver-healthy\/\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">liver health<\/a>.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"6\"\/> \u201cChaparral has been linked to liver damage, with over two dozen reported cases of liver injury,\u201d says Mitri. \u201cThe risk of severe liver complications outweighs any potential benefits, making it a risky choice for arthritis management.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_30-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> 5. Arnica <\/span> <\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_31-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Arnica is a traditional pain relief herb that is available in topical forms like creams and gels. While some research supports its topical use, oral consumption may be harmful.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"7\"\/> \u201cOral arnica can lead to nausea, dizziness and more severe complications like heart palpitations,\u201d says Mitri. \u201cIts benefits are limited, and the risks associated with oral use make it unsuitable for treating arthritis.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-tips-for-managing-arthritis\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_33-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Tips for Managing Arthritis <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you\u2019re trying to manage arthritis-related pain, there are some supplements that may be helpful.<span class=\"ql-inline-citation\" data-cite=\"1\"\/> However, many may be harmful.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_36-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> A safer, more effective strategy is a comprehensive lifestyle approach. That starts with exercise, physical therapy and medication if prescribed. Certain foods may also help. For instance, leafy greens, berries, walnuts and fatty fish like salmon, mackerel and sardines are among the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/the-6-best-foods-for-joint-health-8691833\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"internalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">best foods for joint health<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_38-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Also, consider keeping a food and symptom journal.<strong> \u201c<\/strong>Tracking your food intake and symptoms can help you identify foods that may trigger arthritis flare-ups and help you make healthier dietary choices,\u201d says Mitri.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-the-bottom-line\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_40-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> The Bottom Line <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_41-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Managing arthritis symptoms can be tricky, especially when some supplements offer more risk than relief. Products like glucosamine, chondroitin, red yeast rice, chaparral and arnica can cause adverse effects and often lack solid scientific support. Instead of relying on supplements, focus on a healthy diet that\u2019s rich in anti-inflammatory plant foods and omega-3-rich fish. And don\u2019t forget exercise. It\u2019s an excellent way to keep those joints strong, flexible and pain-free!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatingwell.com\/supplements-you-shouldnt-take-for-arthritis-8718160\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019re living with arthritis, supplements might seem like a good pain management strategy.
