Turmeric, Ginger, Fish Oil & Glucosomine Sulphate

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I started taking Turmeric about a week ago and I have noticed an improvement in my aches. Turmeric is supposed to have anti-inflammatory properties, but also 'mops up' free radicals which cause joint damage.

Fish Oil with Omega 3 fatty acids are supposed to help the joints and G.S is supposed to help the regrowth of cartilage.

I'm not currently taking Ginger but I plan on adding that to my supplements as it can be beneficial.

Anyway, I thought I'd let you know ... at least try getting Turmeric capsules (400-600mg) and take 1 after every meal - (2 or 3 times a day).

Whether the Turmeric is acting like an Ibuprofen type anti-inflammatory, or whether its actually reducing the inflammation like Cortisone I'm not too sure, but these supplements are definately making me feel better somehow.

Let me know how you all get on.

Turmeric And Inflammation

Turmeric is also known for it's strong anti- inflammatory properties. A study published in the Indian Journal of Medical Research compared the anti-inflammatory effects of oral curcumin (the major component of turmeric) to two powerful anti-inflammatory medications: cortisone and phenybutazone. They found that oral curcumin was as effective as the two medications without the side effects.

Other studies have found turmeric helps inflammation both directly and indirectly. It directly reduces inflammation by inhibiting or blocking mediators of inflammation. In other words, it blocks important proteins necessary for the body to produce an inflammatory response. Indirectly, turmeric helps inflammation by enhancing the body's own anti-inflammatory ability in three different ways. First, it stimulates the release of corticosteroids from the adrenal glands. Secondly, it prevents the break down of cortisol so more of this potent natural anti-inflammatory stays around. Third, it makes the body's cortisol receptors more sensitive. So when cortisol is taken in by our cells the anti-inflammatory effect it has will be greater than normal.
