Joint pain: can supplements reduce it?

Good afternoon, I am 42 years old and already from the age of 14-15 years I always had pain in my knees, I had visits upon visits, but no explanation for these sudden pains that some times were so severe that they prevented me from walking so much that I was forced to quit the volleyball team where I played. Then at the age of 26 I had surgery on the patella of my left knee, which according to the orthopedist, I had worn out cartilage. Cmq to make a long story short, another 16 years have passed and I often with the change of time experience severe pain in my legs and lately also in my elbows. My question is this, can I find benefit by taking any supplements?
 

Dear Katia, 

fish oil can be helpful in limiting joint, rheumatic and muscle pain where there is a strong inflammatory component. In fact, the omega-3s in fish oil reduce the production of molecules that promote the inflammatory state, thus contributing to joint function. 

Indeed, some scientific studies have shown that a diet rich in omega-3 and low in omega-6 can be helpful in other inflammatory disorders, and that consumption of EPA and DHA supplements can improve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis when consumed in conjunction with traditional drug therapy. I recommend supplementation with 2-3 capsules per day of Omegor Vitality 1000 (packs of 30 and 45 soft capsules) to be taken before a main meal. 

Each capsule of Omegor Vitality 1000 provides 750 milligrams of EPA and 420 milligrams of DHA.
