Seems to be a rather comprehensive supplement plan. Some comments:
1. DLPA (d-,l-phenylalanine) may be more beneficial than l-tyrosine. A substantial portion of phenylalanine is converted to tyrosine, but some is also available as a precursor to PEA, a feel-good chemical. You could probably go to 2g/day.
2. That's a lot of turmeric. Total inhibition of COX is probably not a good idea.
3. Given your osteoarthritis, you might want to add some bromelain. It's quite a good anti-inflammatory, and has been shown to promote soft-tissue healing. Osteoarthritis is in some respects recurrent joint injury. It might help you maintain your current joint function, or even improve on it.
