Milk: Provides protein and, depending on the type, calcium and vitamin D, which help support normal bone health.
Turmeric: Contains curcumin, a compound studied for its potential anti-inflammatory effects. However, evidence for turmeric as a treatment for joint pain remains limited.
Ginger: Contains compounds with potential anti-inflammatory properties. Some research suggests ginger supplements may help certain people with osteoarthritis, but the evidence does not establish that a small amount in a drink relieves pain overnight.
Cinnamon: Adds warmth and flavor, but it is not a proven treatment for joint pain.
Honey: Adds sweetness but does not treat joint inflammation.
Black pepper: Contains piperine, which can increase the absorption of curcumin. However, concentrated piperine supplements can interact with medications, so black pepper should not be considered necessary for this recipe.
