Structure plus anti-inflammatory.

Glucosamine supports the cartilage matrix itself, while boswellia's boswellic acids calm the inflammatory enzymes that drive joint pain and stiffness, so one targets the joint's structure and the other the inflammation layered on top.

What to do

A reasonable joint stack for osteoarthritis-type discomfort, often taken as glucosamine around 1500 mg daily with a standardised boswellia extract. Give it several weeks, and check with your doctor if you take anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medication.
