Does anyone know if these work? Does anyone currently take or have you taken them in the past and what was it like? Is it worth it? I'm more specifically wondering about joint pain and whether or not there is a noticeable difference in pain.

    A few studies showed an improvement, but most studies don't. A summary of the studies is here:

    Do you know the cause of your joint pain? Some issues can be improved with physical therapy.

    My joint pain is caused by arthritis and deterioration of cartilage. I'm currently working with my physical therapist to increase strength in my core and hips, so that all of the joints are supported. I guess I'm just always wondering if there's more I can do!
