Can you answer gremlin_mischief’s question about Arthritis?:
I got an Industrial piercing in my ear. I was told it can take 6 months to a year for the holes in the cartilage to heal around the piercing. A few months back I started taking Glucosamine, Chondroitin + MSM supplements to help with cartilage I tore in my hip. I was wondering if such supplements would also influence ear cartilage, and if so would it be in a positive or negative way? Thanks!

Arthritis Feedback: Glucosamine and Chondroitin, as some of the structural building blocks of cartilage, may help with the healing and repair of ear cartilage. MSM provides sulfur for the cartilage structure as well. How much structural repair will be affected by supplementing is debatable, though the combination certainly has an effect on joint pain while taking it. I can’t foresee, nor do I know of, an instance in which these supplements had a negative impact on cartilage growth/repair, like overgrowth. I assume that is what you me by a ‘negative’ effect. They may very well positively affect repair of the ear cartilage
I have tried several brands of glucosamine (with and without MSM) over the past five years, and Dr. Max Powers ‘Joint Support + Vitamin B12 is the best product and the best value I have found.
I recommend taking the full dose as stated on the bottle, daily, if like me you have experienced osteoarthritis, with the accompanying pain and loud popping of joints while climbing stairs, for instance.
I have full relief from those symptoms since taking this product, and I believe the potency speaks for itself in this result. My only regret is that I didn’t know about this simple solution many years earlier.
