Do you suffer from any sort of pain? Perhaps you have chronic back or joint pain?
Beginning a vitamin regiment may be an answer to pain management.
Below are suggestions for fighting pain and reducing inflammation by adding natural supplements to your daily intake.
Inflammation causes pain. For example, if you break a joint, your immune system creates a protein that travels down to the injured area and causes pain and swelling. The pain you feel is to inform you of the injury or damage. The swelling is protective; it prevents you from moving it and causing more irritation. This is also your body's way of running to the problem with fresh blood, antibodies and vital cells in order to begin healing and repairing the damage.
A natural substance called, Boswellia Serrata, has been extensively studied for its anti-inflammatory properties.
In Auurvedic Medicine, a combination of Boswellia Serrata and Curcumin (turmeric) are often used in a formulation for their synergistic effects.
Boswellia Serrata can be found in a product manufactured by Olympian Labs---called: Inflameric.
MSM is the stable end-product of methyl-S-methane series of compounds that provide all life with a dominant amount of bio-available sulfur.
Methyl-sulfonyl-methane (MSM) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in the human body as well as in many common beverages and foods, including milk, coffee, tea and green vegetables.
In its purified chemical form, MSM is an odorless, essentially tasteless, white, water soluble crystalline solid.
MSM is one of the least toxic substances in biology, similar in toxicity to water.
MSM is a relative to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a unique therapeutic agent used worldwide in the treatment of many painful and inflammatory conditions.
MSM has many of DMSO's properties, but without the oyster-like odor and other side effects.
Naturally occurring sulfur, such as that found in MSM, is not similar to inorganic sulfides, sulfites and sulfates to which many people are allergic.
MSM helps in the building of joint and connective tissues, and may also reduce inflammatory problems.
Diet plays a major role in modulating the risk of development of several diseases and successful ageing.
Edible plants become important factors in that they contain hytochemicals which can control biochemical processes at cellular level of animal organism. Among nutraceuticals, the role of Curcumin is supported by a number of scientific evidence that have confirmed its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant actions. Curcumin is the phytochemical derived from the rhizome of Curcuma longa, present in the spice turmeric and it gives Indian curry its yellow color.
Chronic inflammation is closely associated with the destruction of the arteries in atherosclerosis and of the joints in osteoarthritis and the autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers recently completed a study looking at the effectiveness of Krill Oil on C-Reactive Protein (CRP).
What's C-Reactive Protein (CRP)?
CRP is a special protein produced by your liver during stages of acute inflammation.
For example, during a 'flare-up' of rheumatoid arthritis, you may see elevated CRP levels in the blood.
This indicates there is some level of inflammation occurring in the body.
Other conditions where you might see elevated CRP levels include:
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Lupus
• Cancer
• Connective tissue
• Parasitic infections
In this study, researchers conducted a double-blind study using 300 mg. a day of Krill Oil or a placebo, for 30 days to test the anti-inflammatory potential for Krill Oil.
In conclusion, 300mg per day of Krill Oil appears to significantly inhibit inflammation.
As with any vitamin or supplement, please consult your doctor before taking. Author Beverly Terhune speaks from 35 years of living with Rheumatoid Arthritis and shares her experience, strength & hope on how to lead a healthy, substance-free life.
