This week on Joint Action, we explore the potential of natural ingredients in relieving knee osteoarthritis pain. We start with a short introduction to the ATLAS study, a clinical trial by Professor David Hunter and a team of researchers at The University of Sydney. The ATLAS study is testing a groundbreaking supplement combining curcumin, boswellia serrata extract, and more. Can this blend offer pain relief for people with knee osteoarthritis?

To help unravel the complexities of supplements and complementary medicines for osteoarthritis, we welcome Dr. Joanna Harnett, a Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney's School of Pharmacy. Dr. Harnett discusses the most commonly used supplements for osteoarthritis, the evidence supporting their use, and important safety considerations. She also provides practical advice on selecting the right complementary medicine and emphasizes the importance of consulting healthcare providers.

Whether you're curious about natural supplements or looking for guidance on managing osteoarthritis, this episode offers valuable insights to help you make informed decisions.
