Vitamin D deficiency can worsen bone and joint pain, so it is important to correct it along with arthritis treatment. Folitrax 5 and Gemicol help with general health and arthritis, but you may also need vitamin D and calcium supplements, along with pain management and physiotherapy. Talk to your doctor about adjusting your treatment to reduce pain, improve strength, and support joint health.
