Can Turmeric Supplement Be Taken For Osteoarthritis In The Lower Legs?

My wife s friend said her husband recently started taking turmeric for pain, including arthritis pain & has experienced relatively quick relief. I have osteo arthritis in my lower legs & am taking vitamin D, C, glucosamine as well as fish oil. Might I be advised to try turmeric also? Thanks, Bob
