A great many people around the world suffer from joint pain on a daily basis. Joint pain is basically inflammation of the surrounding tendons and ligaments.

There are also dietary supplements that have been touted to relief joint pain. The two most commonly recommended of these supplements is Rumatone Gold and Chondroitin. For many years Rumatone Gold has been the number one selling treatment for joint pain in the United States with Chondroitin a very close second. The use of these two supplements by arthritis and other joint pain sufferers has had mixed results.

Many people have found relief from their joint pain through herbal remedies, natural type pain relief that has none of the adverse side effects that some drugs can have. In fact, there are many doctors that will recommend a more natural approach to joint pain relief.
