OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Joint pain improvement vs.
To answer TrialNerd_Beth: my doctor and I discussed the options and went with brand.
Quick update: I have noticed more improvement since posting this. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

+1 to Dr.RheumBOS. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Joint pain improvement vs.

Slightly tangential to Joint pain improvement vs but kate.chem reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?
I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
