Dare I Dabble?
With thousands of supplements on the market - and little government regulation - it's easy to be baffled by choices. We've attempted to make the decision a little easier by placing icons by each supplement to indicate important information and the level or significance of studies related to each. A well-studied supplement, particularly one that has been studied in relation to arthritis, is usually a wiser choice, because safety, proper dosage for a specific use and effectiveness are better understood.
