Abstract
The use of nutraceuticals and supplements is common in the management of joint pathology. Due to this popularity, it is important that clinicians are aware of these therapies and have a basic understanding of them. Scientific studies examining the effects of nutraceuticals in joint arthritis are increasing. This short update aims to provide a commentary on the recent developments of these therapies commonly used in rheumatoid and osteoarthritis aiming to summarise their characteristics and efficacy.
