(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 04, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Arthritis is one of the conditions that can be extremely difficult to deal with. This is why many sufferers are using a variety of relief alternatives, such as supplements, to help relieve pain. However, since there are quite a number of natural alternatives available today, patients are reminded to practice prudence in choosing a product.
The Arthritis Foundation has provided a guideline for evaluating the safety of supplements. It can sound like supplements are generally beneficial to overall health. However, patients should also understand that if they choose the wrong product, they will not just waste their money, but they will also be putting their health at risk.
"Patients in the United States should look for the symbol from NSF or the blue and yellow USP seal. However, there are also some questions that they should ask themselves before buying a product," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Experts suggest that patients should ask questions that can help them identify the right product. For instance, they can ask whether or not the health claims made about the product are realistic or if it has some side effects. Patients should also try to check if the manufacturer can provide some scientific studies that can support its health claims.
There are certain factors that sufferers should consider before choosing a product. Some of these factors are: the dosage, side effects, intake schedule, price, reputation of the manufacturer and interaction with other medications or supplements. After considering these factors, they should let their healthcare provider know about the supplements they are taking.
"It is also imperative for patients to figure out whether the supplement they are eyeing can in any way affect the result of medical tests," added O'Sullivan.
Healthcare providers suggest that patients should also try one supplement and take note of its effects, dose and brand name. Supplements should only be taken in the recommended amount regardless of how safe they seem. It is also wise to take note of all the supplements and the medications that are consumed.
There are actually many varieties of supplements available today. One of the most popular natural alternatives for arthritis patients is called the glucosamine supplement. The human body naturally produces glucosamine, which helps keep the joint cartilage healthy.
However, the glucosamine levels in the body decrease due to aging and this often results in the development of various arthritic conditions. Many patients who consumed glucosamine supplements claimed that the natural alternative significantly helped with pain reduction (http://www.amazon.com/Glucosamine-Sulfate-Chondroitin-Supplement-Turmeric/product-reviews/B00DUMO9X4/).
