Can Eating B Complex Cure Arthritis?
Q: There are rumors on the Internet that eating B complex can treat degenerative arthritis. Is it true?
Physician Chen Jiongyu said that this is actually a misconception. B complex is the general term for 8 kinds of vitamins, including niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid, etc. The vitamins will cooperate with each other to help the body function and normal metabolism. It can also help convert carbohydrates directly into glucose, which becomes energy that the body can use.
However, there is still no research to prove the treatment of osteoarthritis. Therefore, you can take B complex as a nutritional supplement, but it is definitely not a cure. If you have joint pain, you must seek the assistance of a professional physician.
