Americans spend over 6.6 billion dollars on these types of medications every year. The most common reason they are taken is for arthritis. As mentioned previously nearly 30,000 people a year die from using these medications. The bulk of these deaths are due to bleeding ulcers. There are alternatives to these medications. Ostarplex ®, Black Currant Seed Oil™, For-Til B12 ®, Glucosamine Synergy™ and Betacol ® are just a few of the supplements we use with arthritic patients.
