Supplements for joint health

[silva]

It's been a year since xrays showed tears on my right rotator cuff. Doc said to do PT and come back for MRI if not improving. Well I did 'improve', and while I stopped going to PT I continued with on line therapists. It's been a year and while I've gotten a lot more mobility and less pain, I'm still not where I need to be. Worse yet, a couple months back I injured my left bicep/shoulder from work, and didn't want to put on workers comp. Seemed like the kind of injury that used to improve in a couple weeks. I'm 63

Anyway, I'm at the point of wanting to try supplements, and would love some feedback, not just supplements, but healing with foods. I've definitely slacked up on wfpb foods, so that should be my first goal. Anything specific?
I presently take algae DHA 600mg daily. Plant based D3 & K2, Tumeric and black pepper I capsule-like 1/2 tsp daily, B12
This one seems to fit the bill, albeit expensive. No where near as much as one PT visit!

Ok, I have to update this when Revive answers. It is listed as vegan friendly, on all sites, but has cartilage and collagen.

Just mixed a Tblsp ground chia seeds with water and a 1/8 tsp of citric acid in a glass of water. I think I'll start doing that in the morning, maybe with a Tbsp vinegar instead. Vinegar is certainly known good for everything from lowering cholesterol (need) and polyphenols
Actually just following How not to Die is what I need

I've not read that book, but I've wanted to.
I haven't had much experience with supplements, just a few vitamins (mostly C, D and B12). I wouldn't mind trying something for arthritis, as it has started in my big toes. It's not awful, but sometimes it's annoying, lol.

I do agree that eating better overall can likely have some curative/preventive properties. I have not done a good job avoiding junk the past few weeks, as I've used the holidays as an excuse to overindulge.

I just love Dr Greger! It's easy to see his stance as rigid, extreme...but he really just puts out the evidence based -and referenced- research, and provides his best recommendations. Like he'll grade foods into good, better and best and it's up to you to choose. His Daily Dozen eating plan is a guide to what foods, and how much of each, will provide a days complete nutrition. I have followed it, ticking off the checks on my phone, and actually felt better than ever. Stamina improved, seasonal allergies were gone, more flexiblity.... Just like a junkie I woke one day and felt like I'd never left junk foods. And I pay for it, but, knowing does keep me on track. I have it burned in my brain that a sweet potato rules over white. I should eat dark leafy greens every day for calcium, vinegar is good.
Most libraries have it, and I love the audio book, I find him to be funny and like his weird voice

The book How not to Diet is even more detailed, delving into history, genetics, culture....
