Since osteoarthritis is the most common musculoskeletal inflammation that causes people to be unable to move with age, a proper diet can be effective in treating it. Therefore, understanding the impact of nonpharmacological nutritional supplements may provide guidelines for the prevention of this disease thereby reducing the costs of medical care. The purpose of this study was to review the effect of various non-pharmacological dietary supplements containing nutrients and micronutrients in the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis. Taking these non-pharmacological nutritional supplements over a short to medium term reduced pain and inflammation, and improved patients' quality of life. However, their impact was low to moderate. To achieve the best treatment results in patients with osteoarthritis, it is recommended that these dietary supplements be taken along with medication and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
