Khaberni - Do you often wake up feeling joint pain and stiffness that makes getting out of bed difficult? This could be an indicator that you need to pay attention to your joint health.
Chronic pain is often associated with nutrient deficiencies or ongoing inflammation, and dietary supplements can help compensate for these deficiencies, thereby reducing stiffness and improving mobility.
In a post on "Instagram", Dr. Alicia Rohnilt, an endocrinologist in New Jersey, shared the most important dietary supplements that may help with joint issues.
Joint pain is not always normal
Many believe that joint pain is a natural part of aging, but this is a misconception.
Dr. Rohnilt clarified: "Joint pain is not just a natural symptom of aging; often, it is caused by inflammation."
Understanding this difference is important to prevent quietly enduring pain, and to encourage people to seek treatments and prevention.
Essential Dietary Supplements
Here are the top supplements recommended by Rohnilt:
Curcumin
Derived from turmeric, it is known for its anti-inflammatory properties that are similar to some pain relievers, but without harmful side effects.
Rohnilt says: "When taken in an absorbable form, curcumin can relieve joint stiffness and inflammation in a way similar to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, without affecting the stomach and kidneys."
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
These acids help soothe inflammation pathways and improve joint stiffness.
Dr. recommends taking 1 to 3 grams daily of EPA and DHA combined to improve joint health.
Collagen Peptides
These supplements protect the cartilage and enhance long-term joint strength.
While they do not provide immediate relief, regular intake over 8 to 12 weeks helps improve the flexibility and integrity of the joints.
