I have arthritis in my hands. I had been taking glucosomine and chondroitin but had only mediocre results. I tried turmeric instead and the pain and swelling in my hands has been reduced dramatically. I have been taking it for approximately a month and am very pleased with the results.

My OA affects my hands and big toes. Turmeric doesn't seem to reduce the knots but is a big help in reduction of pain.
