Researches of Boston University School of Public Health have proved definitive link between vitamin D and the risk for rheumatoid arthritis.

Early researches have suggested that the disease is brought on by air pollution, which is what the researchers were originally looking into. However, upon further investigation, it was foun that having a vitamin D deficiency may increase one’s chances for developing the condition.

It was noted that individuals who live in more northern latitudes had lower levels of vitamin D because they were exposed to less sunlight. This group of individuals showed a higher prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis.

“A geographic association with northern latitudes has also been observed for multiple sclerosis and Crohn’s disease, other autoimmune diseases that may be mediated by reduced vitamin D from decreased solar exposure and the immune effects of vitamin D deficiency,” the authors wrote.

Inflammation in the lining of the joints and pain are caused by antibodies that attack healthy joints. If inflammation becomes chronic and uncontrolled it leads to damage and destruction of the cartilage and joint tissues (bones, tendons, and ligaments).  People with severe arthritis often suffer with deformity, reduced joint mobility, and pain that limit normal daily activities.
But particular lifestyle modifications and vitamin and mineral supplements can help to relief the pain and inflammation of arthritis and improve quality of life.

curcuminTop Recommended Supplements

Celadrin: Celadrin is patented blend of fatty acids. Celadrin noticeably reduces inflammation and pain, lubricates joints and encourages healing. Several clinical studies have proved benefits. Celadrin is available in capsules and cream.
Fish oil:  Contains beneficial omega-3 fatty acids. It reduces the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. These “good” fats work in part by boosting levels of prostaglandins, which are hormone-like substances that have anti-inflammatory activity.
Multivitamin and minerals: Studies have found certain nutrients are depleted in those with arthritis including antioxidants, B-vitamins, copper, selenium, and zinc. These nutrients help to reduce free radical damage and inflammation; and support cartilage, bone, and joint health.

Complementary Supplements

Boswellia: It is a tree resin used in traditional Indian medicine; some studies show that Boswellia reduces pain and inflammation.
Bromelain: An enzyme with anti-inflammatory activity and improves joint mobility. Bromelain is well tolerated, and may thin the blood, so use cautiously along with blood-thinning medications.
Capsaicin: A hot pepper extract that reduces pain, capsaicin is available in creams; look for product with 0.025–0.075 percent capsaicin (Zostrix or Menthacin); wash hands after application to avoid getting in the eyes.

Curcumin: A spice from the turmeric plant, curcumin is an antioxidant and has been shown in studies to have anti-inflammatory effects comparable to cortisone; has no side effects.
