An estimated 23 percent of American adults suffer from arthritis, and as a result suffer limits on the activities they can enjoy because of it. For some, this means a lifetime of using NSAIDs to manage the pain, but experts don’t recommend chronic use of these over-the-counter solutions. Fortunately, there may be a dietary solution.

It found that the group who took the real capsules needed fewer NSAIDs to manage pain than the placebo group.
