Jason Homan	Hi Rain bow, yes, nutritional supplements like glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin sulfate, niacinamide (vitamin B3), S-adenosyl-Methionine (SAMe), and Vitamin E may also be useful in treating knee pain due to osteoarthritisNutritional supplements like glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin sulfate, niacinamide (vitamin B3), S-adenosyl-Methionine (SAMe), and Vitamin E may be useful in treating knee pain due to osteoarthritis. But, exercise the joints to strengthen the muscles supporting the joints. This will help in the process of pain alleviation. Stronger muscles mean stronger joints. Some of the most common exercises you can do are swimming, biking or rowing. These are useful for your health without straining your knees.

Kris10Heck	There is an herbalist/iridologist that has a website that has an herbal treatment plan for arthritis. The plan for osteoarthritis is not too different from this, but I believe that he adds one more product: Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice. I have posted links below. Hope this helps (by the way, his success rate is very very high, but your mom's success rate depends on if your mom would do the herbs or not.) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
