Arthritis

Arthritis refers to a range of conditions that involve pain and inflammation in the joints.

These two types of arthritis include osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

OA mainly results when wear and tear of cartilage causes bones to rub together, leading to friction, damage, and inflammation.

RA is a systemic condition that triggers symptoms throughout the body. It’s an autoimmune disease and happens when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissue.

Supplements that may help Arthritis

Turmeric (Curcumin)

Turmeric, the yellow spice common in Indian dishes, contains a chemical called curcumin. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Research suggests it may help reduce arthritis pain and inflammation.

Vitamin D 

Everyone needs vitamin D. It helps your body absorb calcium and allows your bones to grow properly and stay strong.

If you don’t get enough vitamin D, your bones can become soft and brittle. This can raise your risk of bone fractures, deformities, and other problems.

For people with RA, vitamin D can have additional benefits.

RA is an autoimmune disease, and vitamin D plays a role in the immune system. People with RA also have high levels of inflammation, and vitamin D helps decrease that.

Glucosamine

Is a dietary supplement often used to treat osteoarthritis. Scientists are not entirely sure how it works, but studies suggest it may reduce cartilage breakdown.

Fish Oil and Omega-3s (EPA and DHA)

EPA and DHA can reduce inflammation, which causes swelling and pain. Research has indicated that both acids might suppress the body’s immune system.

For the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil to work against arthritis, it’s necessary to consume a fairly large quantity of it each day. Fish oil — or cod liver oil — enclosed in capsules makes this fairly easy.

Probiotics

Probiotics may help reduce the inflammation RA causes and restore balance to the digestive microbiota. Research suggests that compared to a placebo, treatment with probiotics Bacillus coagulans or Lactobacillus casei (L. casei) may lead to improvements
