Rheumatoid arthritis: can omega-3 supplements help?

Suffering from rheumatoid arthritis treated with methotrexate and biologic drugs, I have often heard about the benefits that taking omega-3s can bring (obviously without replacing drugs, but only in addition to them) to those with this condition. 

I would like to know which Omega-3 supplement you think is most suitable in my case and in what doses it should be taken to have the greatest benefits. 

I am 43 years old, after I was also prescribed biologic drugs the disease is fairly controlled, in recent years it has caused cartilage damage in my knees and slight bone erosion in my wrists, I am not overweight and despite a few "aches and pains" I lead a normal life. 

Thank you for your helpfulness.

Dear Simonetta, 

true, numerous scientific studies have demonstrated theusefulness of Omega-3 EPA and DHA in improving the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in combination with traditional drug therapy. 

This effect is due to the powerful anti-inflammatory capacity of Omega-3s, which can thus reduce the'chronic inflammation that occurs at the joint level in those affected by the disease.

The most suitable supplementation for you, if your treating physician also agrees, is with 2-3 capsules per day of Omegor Vitality 1000 to be taken before a main meal.

Each capsule of Omegor Vitality 1000 contains. fish oil concentrated and purified of any pollutants, and provides 750 milligrams of EPA and 420 milligrams of DHA, in the form of triglycerides natural which are easily absorbed at the level of the intestinal mucosa.

In addition, each capsule contains 10 milligrams of vitamin E natural contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to maintain the characteristics of fish oil.
