As we age our bodies face more and more health challenges that demand we place more attention on proper nutrition, physical activity, and preventative wellness. The good news is that scientifically-proven at-home remedies are becoming increasingly more accessible and affordable to implement into our daily lives.
One of the conditions seen increasingly as we age is the onset of osteoarthritis (OA).It is estimated that approximately 20% of individuals before reaching the age of 45 years will be affected by OA and that radiographic signs of OA are estimated to be present in the majority of people by 65 years of age, affecting 80% of those over 75 years old, according to an epidemiological study held by Arden and Nevitt in 2006.(1)

Is there an effective, safe supplement of herbal extract that can also be of benefit for OA patients?
