Did you know that over 50% of older women have osteopenia, and nearly 37% of U.S. adults have osteoarthritis (OA)?
This is one of the reasons why I advocate for juicing vegetables to make sure you are getting the nutrition you need.
Recently, a meta- analysis (which is study analyzing other studies) found evidence that strongly supports curcumin supplementation in relieving pain, arthritis, improving joint mobility and stiffness, and shortening medication usage of OA patients.
