Q: I cannot take prescription medications for arthritis. They cause me a great deal of gastrointestinal problems. Is there anything that I can take that might help my symptoms of stiffness and pain? - Arminda

A: Feel-Rite Fresh Markets stores have recently added 2 items to their stores that help with your symptoms. The first product, Solaray Ultra-Strength Joint with InflaShield is a formula that rebuilds cartilage, soothes and lubricates the joints and relieves pain.

The ingredient, glucosamine, contains glycosaminoglycans which build cartilage. The sulfur in MSM produces collagen and the chondroitin, which occurs naturally in our bodies, lubricates stiff joints. The blend of bromelain, turmeric, boswellia and hops ease discomfort.

The other new product on our shelves is Solaray Extra-Strength IbuActin, an herbal remedy that our customers our taking in place of Ibuprofen.
