It’s called Ganoderma, and it’s known as one of the top joint supplements to fight rheumatoid arthritis and its symptoms and side effects. It is essentially speaking an immunosuppressant drug, stopping the reactions of the immune system that are attacking good joint cells. Basically speaking, gouty arthritis requires that you have a certain concentration of uric acid in the blood. It has been examined in combination with San-Miao-San, and frankly the results did not differ between verum and the placebo. However, they concluded that the combination of these two drugs could “exert a beneficial immunomodulatory effect in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.” This being said, if you have other immune related problems or tend to get sick more easily, you do not take these particular joint supplements for obvious reasons. They can make you more prone to things like the yearly common cold. However, in some, mostly in extreme cases, they have prescribed it and shown quite impressive results in general terms. It mostly just depends on you and your particular situation as to what will actually work for you. In many cases, natural joint supplements like chondroitin and glucosamine do considerably better and still show you the results you are looking for.
