Menopause Herbal

Take fish oil supplements. Fish oil is the only supplement that is backed by strong evidence showing it helps RA symptoms.

There are other supplements out there such as thunder god vine that are promising but are not currently available in the US and do not have enough research backing them.

WHICH FOODS HELP OR HINDER ARTHRITIS?
