Question
ginko can be taken to help in rebuilding cartilage?&what's its role in any combination in O.A. (i.e.,with glucoseamine SO4)

There are many unproven claims made in the world of supplements. If you decided to take a supplement for OA use pain and function as your measures of success and understand that there is no guarantee that these supplements are safe,
