I've been having quite a bit of green tea since around Feb 2020 when AMDEDDOC (?) mentioned it. It may have made my renal values better. Post transplant nurse commented on it, and nothing had changed except for green tea intake.
Based on my own experience, I'd say it's a very good anti-inflammatory. Not so much for joint damage, but it seems to really work well in soft tissues.
Bromelian should help some with joint pain if you have it. It acts on the soft tissues in the joints, which get inflamed and are the source of most of the pain of things like arthritis and rheumatism. Natural sources are primarily fresh pineapple. has to be fresh, as cooking it or heating it during canning damages the structure of the bromelian. The problem with that which I have found is that pineapples seem to stay green forever, and when they ripen, it's only a for a few hours before they go to rotten.
I guess timing is everything!
So the suppliments may be just the way to go.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
