Osteoarthritis Diet - Things to Take
There has been some success with an osteoarthritis diet including food supplements glucosamine and chondroitin in relieving symptoms of pain and stiffness for some persons with osteoarthritis.
These supplements can be found in pharmacies and health food stores, however the purity of the products or the dose of the active ingredients cannot be specified because the FDA does not monitor these supplements.

So more should be known about the effectiveness of these products for osteoarthritis in the near future.
Fish oil supplements have been shown to have some anti-inflammatory properties and increasing the dietary fish intake and/or fish oil capsules (omega 3 capsules) can sometimes reduce inflammation of arthritis.
Osteoarthritis Diet - Things to Avoid

Patients with osteoarthritis taking blood-thinners should be careful taking chondroitin as it can increase the blood-thinning and cause excessive bleeding.
