My mum was giving me cod liver oil and multi-vitamin tablets from when I was a kid. I have severe osteoporosis. () I took the strongest Turmeric available for 12 months. Never noticed the slightest difference (glad it helps many people but certainly won't help anyone with severe joint inflammation/arthritis)

I have several prescribed vitamins, there's a D, B and strong this and strong that. Apparently they're needed because I can't absorb food properly.
I tend to agree I’ve been taking various things for years and notice little effect. I think the beats are the first I’ve noticed a rather strong reaction to but I’ve tried numerous things for pain over the years and found little benefit.
Maybe your tolerance level to pain is increasing so you have to take stronger doses?
