6 Supplements That Fight Inflammation
When inflammation sets in many of us will go for a common NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) like Ibuprofen or Advil. What a lot of people don’t know is that NSAIDs have some nasty side effects over time.
NSAIDs can lead to indigestion, stomach ulcers, and in rare cases an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Is it time for you to find a natural supplement to manage your inflammation?
Here are some good, safe, natural products that can provide baseline help with inflammation.
Benefits Of Tart Cherries
Tart cherries are a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that have shown the ability to reduce pain and lower inflammation.
You can either eat 100 to 120 tart cherries or take an extract supplement that contains concentrated tart cherry extract for a standard dose + optimal benefits:
Palmitoylethanolamide
A naturally occurring compound in the human body, PEA (palmitoylethanolamide) reacts
in a similar fashion to CBD when regulating inflammatory responses.
Recent studies of this natural molecule have demonstrated it has strong anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving,) and neuroprotective benefits.
QUERCETIN & ECHINACEA
Quercetin is a flavonoid found in grapes, berries, apples, etc. Studies have shown that quercetin can prevent chronic and acute inflammation.
A natural anti-inflammatory, Echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower) has been used for centuries to fight inflammation and improve immune system responses by supporting white blood cells in fighting off foreign bacteria and viruses.
Our Herbal Immunity Defense supplement contains both of these supplements and others – handpicked to deliver optimal immune defense.
CURCUMIN
Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric and has been proven to reduce inflammation and relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Curcumin is not very bioactive on its own, but its bioactivity can be increased by taking it with piperine, a chemical found in black pepper.
Curcumin is a polyphenol that also has antimutagenic, antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Curcumin is one of a group of curcuminoids; these are the active compounds of the turmeric root.
