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 much higher than omega 3 ratio 15:1, can your supplement omergor vitality help my mother-in-law? Thank you, Onofrio.
Dear Onofrio,
For rheumatoid arthritis, I can recommend supplementation with Omegor Vitality. In accordance with medical advice, your mother-in-law may supplement her diet with:
- 2-3 capsules per day of Omegor Vitality 1000 (30- or 45-capsule pack)
- To be taken before a main meal-breakfast, lunch or dinner.
In cases of rheumatoid arthritis, however, it is also useful to offer an antioxidant defense to the body: for this reason, I recommend that you combine Omegor Vitality with the consumption of 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. This is the dosage I recommend:
- 2 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000 and 1 capsule of Omegor Antiage daily.
Progressively, this integration could be useful for:
- Relieve chronic pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis;
- Reduce the use of anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs.
However, I recommend that you talk to your doctor before embarking on supplementation.
Rheumatoid arthritis, omega-3s could inhibit inflammatory processes.
In the case of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases in general, several clinical studies have highlighted the usefulness of supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids (particularly EPA and DHA) as an adjuvant therapy to that of pharmacological therapy. In fact, omega-3s would have proved useful especially in being able to progressively suppress the inflammatory processes related to these diseases. In fact, omega-3 fatty acids could causeinhibition of the synthesis of molecules with pro-inflammatory activity, the molecules that trigger inflammation.
I remain available for further information.
Sincerely, Dr. Rosaria Ramondino Pharmacist and pharmaceutical chemist
