Too strong on the stomach. for joint pain use omega 3 fish oil, msm (methylsulfonylmethane) and glucosamine sulfate. you can get this blended together or purchased seperately. all these items can be purchased in a health food store or a pharmacy. these 3 items really help with inflammation. make sure you get the fish oil is liquid. these is what my doctor has me using. dale alexanders is a good brand. forget the aspirin. good luck sheila.
