This limited list is meant as a general guideline. Many additional supplements, herbs, oils, and other products may reduce inflammation and joint pain

If you suffer with inflammatory arthritis, make sure to support bone health and avoid bone loss. Arthritis progresses more rapidly in people with low bone mass.

**If you take a multivitamin, check the ingredient list to avoid duplication. **

Companies promote a variety of bone building products. Some are excellent while others are downright fraudulent. Make sure to purchase supplements from a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified company. These companies use an outside organization to independently test their products for quality.
