Yes, it has been used in people with arthritis. In fact, it does so well that the European drug companies have studied it. It is safer than the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories and heals better than nonsteroidals do, but cost is the problem. So, they are licensing it for use in liver disease and other things where it's an antioxidant. It's extremely important and used for so many things, its versatility reminds me of CoQ10.
Cost is the only drawback.
