Key Supplements

  • Glucosamine Sulfate 1500mg/day (PROVEN effective—multiple studies show reduces pain, slows progression, as effective as NSAIDs, sulfate form better than HCl), Chondroitin Sulfate 1200mg/day (often combined with glucosamine—synergy, reduces pain and progression), MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) 2-4g/day (sulfur—joint cartilage, anti-inflammatory, reduces pain), Collagen Peptides 10-20g/day (Type II collagen specific for joints—reduces pain, improves function), Hyaluronic Acid 100-200mg oral (lubricates joints, or injection—viscosupplementation, conventional offers but oral also helps), SAMe 800-1600mg/day (S-adenosylmethionine—joint health, anti-inflammatory, also antidepressant effect), Boswellia 500-1000mg 3x/day (anti-inflammatory, as effective as NSAIDs), Curcumin 1-2g 3x/day (anti-inflammatory—proven effective for OA pain), Omega-3 4g/day (anti-inflammatory), Ginger extract 1-2g/day (COX-2 inhibitor—reduces pain), Vitamin D3 5000 IU (deficiency linked to OA pain—optimal 60-80), Vitamin C 1000mg 2x/day (collagen synthesis—cartilage repair), Vitamin E 400 IU (antioxidant), Selenium 200mcg (antioxidant), Zinc 30mg (cartilage health), Avocado Soybean Unsaponifiables (ASU) 300mg/day (slows cartilage loss—proven in studies), Devil's Claw 600mg 3x/day (traditional for arthritis pain), Boron 3-6mg (joint health), PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) 600mg 2x/day (pain relief), CBD oil 25-50mg 2x/day (pain, anti-inflammatory)

Key Lab Markers

  • X-rays of affected joints (joint space narrowing, bone spurs/osteophytes, subchondral sclerosis—diagnostic), MRI (if X-ray unclear or considering surgery—shows cartilage, meniscus, soft tissue better), Inflammatory markers: ESR, hs-CRP (usually normal/mildly elevated in OA vs RA—but some OA patients have systemic inflammation), CBC, Comprehensive metabolic panel, Vitamin D (optimal 60-80—deficiency linked to OA pain), Omega-3 Index (optimal >8%), Joint aspiration (if joint swelling—rule out infection, gout, pseudogout), Rheumatoid Factor and anti-CCP (rule out RA if inflammatory arthritis suspected), Uric acid (rule out gout), Body composition (if overweight—track visceral fat), Metabolic panel (diabetes/metabolic syndrome associated with OA)
