(NC)-”You can find natural help for the pain and stiffness of osteoarthritis,” explains Dr. Joyce Tellier-Johnson, a naturopathic physician. “Every body reacts differently to nutrition and nutritional supplements. Educate yourself and determine what YOUR body needs, and look for quality dietary supplements from a trusted manufacturer for joint support that works for you.”
According to research scientists at WN Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (wnpharmaceuticals.com) report that the top-selling natural products for joint support are:
Glucosamine & Chondroitin – this combination of two “sulfates” is a dietary supplement found to both lubricate and help repair damaged cartilage.
Celadrin is a natural compound containing “esterified” fatty acids. Esterifying stabilizes the fatty acid to prevent reaction with oxygen. Three clinical studies on Celadrin topical cream showed improvements in both joint pain and flexibility in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. In one double blind study, published in the Journal of Rheumatology, 100% of the osteoarthritic patients who used Celadrin cream showed significant improvement in just 30 minutes, as well as cumulative benefits. Celadrin is also sold as an oral dietary supplement in capsule form.
Omega-3 essential fatty acids – fish and flaxseed oils are the two best dietary sources of omega-3 fatty acids that support healthy circulation, brain and heart health and also lubricate stiff joints and ease pain, thanks to their anti-inflammatory action.
