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.

I hope this helps with my RA and OA. I take other things, but always looking for something better it seems. This rainy season doesn't help a thing!
Just ordered my bottle from Amazon.
You know you're old when you get excited about trying a new "drug" for pain.
