Rheumatoid arthritis, is it okay to supplement with Omegor Vitality?
My mother-in-law suffers from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. I had heard very good things about krill oil with omega-6 far superior to omega-3 in a 15:1 ratio. Can your supplement Omegor Vitality help my mother-in-law? Thank you, Onofrio.
Dear Onofrio,
For rheumatoid arthritis, I recommend supplementation with Omegor Vitality. In agreement with your mother-in-law’s doctor, she can complement her diet with:
- 2-3 capsules per day of Omegor Vitality 1000 (bottle of 30 or 45 capsules)
- to be taken before a main meal – breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, it is also helpful to provide the body with antioxidant defense: for this reason, I suggest combining Omegor Vitality with Omegor Antiage. Omegor Antiage includes Omega‐3, Omega‐6, and a pool of antioxidants such as resveratrol, curcumin, alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, and vitamin E. Here is the dosage I recommend:
- 2 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000 and 1 capsule of Omegor Antiage per day.
Gradually, this supplementation could help:
- alleviate chronic pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis;
- reduce the use of anti-inflammatory NSAID medications.
However, I recommend you discuss with the doctor before starting the supplementation.
Rheumatoid arthritis: Omega-3s may inhibit inflammatory processes.
In cases of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and generally chronic inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases, several clinical studies have highlighted the usefulness of supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids (particularly EPA and DHA) as a complementary therapy to pharmacological treatment. Omega-3s have been shown to be especially useful in progressively suppressing inflammatory processes related to these conditions. Omega‐3 fatty acids may cause the inhibition of the synthesis of pro-inflammatory molecules, the molecules that trigger inflammation.
I remain available for further information.
