i.e vitamins, minerals etc on a regular basis?
Approx two years ago I twisted my left knee whilst climbing a steep hill, we were touring France at the time and so I just used ibuprofen to manage it, and eventually started wearing a knee support thingy. I was advised to rest it and keep taking the painkillers.
I followed this advice for while, but really didn't want to stay on painkillers for too long. I searched online to find info re the best minerals and supplements for a knackered knee. The one supplement that was often referred to for joint problems was turmeric, as it is a strong anti inflammatory.
I have been taking a combined turmeric, curcumin, ginger and black pepper capsule, for about 18 months now and my knee is almost 100% again
. I also take an Omega 3 oil capsule with it. I do think that you do have to persevere with the supplements and not give in after just a few weeks. I really did think my knee would be ruined for good. We have lots of stairs at home, the house is 3 storeys, hardly causes me a problem at all now. 
I have also got all of us as a family on Vit D3 supplements as there is increasing evidence this is very effective in warding off C-19....David Davis (remember him?) is even advocating D3 should be available on prescription.
We have a healthy diet, we don't eat much meat, mostly fish, I do think though sometimes the body needs an extra helping hand....mine does most days
