Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Modern snake oil, with no proven efficacy. It may have a placebo effect, if you believe it will work, but the FDA hasn't ever proven if it really is effective or not.

Personally I'll stick with plain old fish / fish oil.
Lyprinol—is it a Useful Anti-inflammatory Agent?
https://ecam.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/c.../full/nep030v1
The Food and Drug Administration have recently warned Lyprinol USA about their extravagant anti-inflammatory claims for Lyprinol appearing on the web. These claims are put to thorough review. Lyprinol does have anti-inflammatory mechanisms, and has anti-inflammatory effects in some animal models of inflammation. Lyprinol may have benefits in dogs with arthritis. There are design problems with the clinical trials of Lyprinol in humans as an anti-inflammatory agent in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, making it difficult to give a definite answer to how effective Lyprinol is in these conditions, but any benefit is small. Lyprinol also has a small benefit in atopic allergy. As anti-inflammatory agents, there is little to choose between Lyprinol and fish oil. No adverse effects have been reported with Lyprinol. Thus, although it is difficult to conclude whether Lyprinol does much good, it can be concluded that Lyprinol probably does no major harm.
