Man this would be great. I have it in hips and knees
I included ‘sports’ as a topic because many athletic types eventually develop osteoarthritis from the ‘wear & tear’ on their joints.................
Ankles and hips for me. I have needed a cane since. I was 40.

The paper that references speaks to a study that had a reduction of pain and movement for severe osteo arthritis patients:
In the severe OA group, average pain reduction was 47.9% at 4 weeks and 64.5% at 8 weeks. In the first 4 weeks, 40% of subjects with severe OA reduced or eliminated their analgesic (ibuprofen) use. By week 8, 75% had quit using their NSAID medication (ibuprofen). Joint rigidity disappeared in one-half of the severe OA patients in the first 4 weeks. In the remaining one-half, joint rigidity decreased significantly, an average rigidity reduction of 50%. Mobility and flexibility were significantly improved in 50% of severe OA subjects at 4 weeks and in 62.5% at 8 weeks.
The amount being given was 12 mg/day for the severe group. 20 mg/day is the Upper Tolerable Limit.
The form used was calcium fructoborate, but a common tri-boron capsule should be absorbable in a similar way.
Each pill of the following has 5.5 mg of calcium fructoborate:
Try the carnivore diet. It’s been shown to reduce inflammation. I’m 74 and have been on it four years. I was starting to get arthritis in one of my little fingers. It has not progressed, and the sharp pains are gone.
Me too. Where’s the downside though, kills the liver with prolonged use or shuts other systems down?
Me too, but if this is going to restrict joint replacement and other remedies (and the gravy train they provide sectors of the medical community) watch this be filed under “yea, so?”
“Man this would be great. I have it in hips and knees”
Hands for me.
