Some cultures have used reishi mushrooms to treat conditions like diabetes, hepatitis, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, however there is insufficient data to show that it is actually effective for those applications.<\/p>\n<p>Reishi mushrooms have been shown to potentially have toxic effects when taken orally more than once a month, which can lead to severe liver damage. Short-term side effects possibly associated with ganoderma lucidum consumption may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Dry mouth and throat<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Itchiness<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Upset stomach<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Nosebleeds<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Bloody stool<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tongkat Ali:<\/strong> An evergreen plant commonly found in Malaysia and other parts of southern Asia. Tongkat is frequently used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction in males because of its effects on blood circulation, and it may boost testosterone levels as well.<\/p>\n<p>ED treatment is the only application for tongkat ali that has been verified clinically, however it has also appeared in home remedies for conditions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Malaria<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Ulcers<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>High blood pressure<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Tuberculosis<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Syphilis<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are no known side effects related to tongkat ali consumption, however that may only be due to lack of testing.<\/p>\n<p>There are also some concerns about the long-term sustainability of tongkat ali plants. The fad status of the herb have led to serious over-farming, and at the current rate of consumption it is estimated that tongkat ali will be extinct within 20 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cayenne Powder:<\/strong> A spicy food additive that has also been shown to have some medicinal applications. There are a number of unverified uses for cayenne, however there is actually some clinical data to show that it can help relieve the pain and stiffness related to inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>It is possible that it is more effective for these conditions when applied topically as opposed to ingested orally, however data show that it may be useful for patients with psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, shingles, and diabetic neuropathy.<\/p>\n<p>Cayenne powder is thought to be likely safe for most people when taken in small doses.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">To see the complete master list of all of the top joint health supplement brands as compiled by our team of wellness experts, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h5><strong>Provailen<\/strong><strong> Quality of Ingredients<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>When our team of nutritional scientists were shown the list of ingredients in <strong>Provailen<\/strong> some were confused about why it was described as a joint health supplement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Provailen<\/strong> doesn\u2019t choose to use any of the traditional ingredients that are found in joint health supplements. There is no glucosamine, chondroitin, or any of the other additives that have been clinically shown to improve collagen production, cartilage health, or any of the other core-level factors that are important for joint functionality.<\/p>\n<p>They have one ingredient \u2013 cayenne powder \u2013 that has been shown to be helpful for reducing joint inflammation, however it is generally more effective for that purpose when applied topically than taken orally.<\/p>\n<p>The other two ingredients, GanoUltra and tongkat ali, are not really indicated for joint health in any way. They may improve circulation, or immune function, or other bodily functions that are indirectly related to joint health, but they don\u2019t provide any kind of health benefits that could be called joint-specific.<\/p>\n<p>It is also strange to see GanoUltra in a daily oral supplement as it has had some serious health consequences linked its daily consumption. Our experts do not currently recommend any daily supplements that uses GanoUltra or other forms of gandoderma lucidum as additives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">Follow this link to see which brands of joint health supplements scored the best in our experts\u2019 clinical trials measuring flexibility, mobility, and pain reduction.<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Price and Quality of <\/strong><strong>Provailen<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Provailen <\/strong>is sold directly through their website, or it is available from a number of other third party distributors online. Generally it falls somewhere in this price range:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>1, 60-count bottle of <strong>Provailen <\/strong>capsules: $19.99<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This price seems to be very low at first, however <strong>Provailen <\/strong>recommends 3 doses per day in order to see results, so each bottle is approximately a 20-day supply. This makes <strong>Provailen <\/strong>about average for a joint health supplement.<\/p>\n<p>Given that <strong>Provailen <\/strong>does not contain any glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, Omega-3 fatty acids, or any other ingredients found in most over the counter joint health supplements, it is possible that some users would like to add a more traditional secondary supplement into their daily regime. This would make <strong>Provailen <\/strong>a much less cost effective option.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">Click here to see which joint health supplements are the best at improving range of motion and reducing the stiffness and swelling associated with inflammation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Business of <\/strong><strong>Provailen<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>A company called RDK HOLDINGS, INC distributes<strong> Provailen<\/strong>.

Most decent supplements tend to get around 70-80% 5-star reviews, and the best ones are in the upper 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s. <strong>Provailen <\/strong>has a brutal 49% 5-star rating on Amazon, one of the lowest ratings that our reviewers have encountered since they began rating joint health supplements. Some of the complaints that customers had with the products were similar to these:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI\u2019m fairly certain that <\/strong><strong>Provailen is a placebo. I ordered two bottles of the stuff, I\u2019ve taken them both now, and my knees still hurt as much as ever.<\/strong><strong>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI saw ads for <\/strong><strong>Provailen and thought I\u2019d try switching over from my old joint supplement. What a mistake that was \u2013 within days my old pain was back and I had to go right back to the old stuff.<\/strong><strong>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cNot only did <\/strong><strong>Provailen not help my shoulder pain, it started giving me nerve irritation up and down my arms.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most frequent complaint about <strong>Provailen <\/strong>was its lack of effectiveness at ending joint pain. Other complaints about the product were related to some mild side effects including stomach discomfort, flatulence, and nerve pain.<\/p>\n<p>There were also quite a few accounts online about customers who were upset with their billing and returns policies. Some customers report being charged larger prices than were advertised, and there were several reports about <strong>Provailen <\/strong>failing to live up to their promises about refunding dissatisfied customers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">Click here to see how all of the top joint health supplements measure up
