Chicken Collagen
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the animal kingdom. There are 16 types of collagen, but nearly all the collagen in your body is type I, II, or III.
- Types I and III are found in your skin, tendons, organs, and bones.
- Type Il collagen is found in your cartilage - and is therefore focused on regarding arthritis. The reported benefit of adding collagen is to give the body the amino acids needed to protect and rebuild joint cartilage.
Chondroitin
Chondroitin is a substance that occurs naturally in the connective tissues. As a supplement in higher doses than is found naturally, chondroitin is a popular choice for arthritis. Chondroitin is often paired with Glucosamine and/or MSM. The evidence seems to be mixed. Researchers have found that chondroitin appears to reduce pain, increase joint mobility, and decrease the need for painkillers.
Devil's Claw
Devil's Claw has a long history of being used to help with arthritis, including gout. This flowering plant has a number of properties, but it is primarily thought to have anti-inflammatory effects in the body. For these reasons, devil's claw supplements have been studied as a potential remedy for inflammatory-related conditions, such as arthritis and gout.
Boswellia
Boswellia is a tree native to India, Africa, and Arabia. The resin from the bark is considered to be a potent anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, and analgesic agent that may be helpful with managing arthritis. Some research shows that taking certain extracts of boswellia can reduce pain and improve mobility in people with osteoarthritis in joints. Other research shows that taking combination products containing boswellia and other herbal ingredients can also reduce pain and improve function in people with osteoarthritis.
MSM
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a naturally occurring sulfur compound found in many foods. MSM has also become a popular supplement among people with chronic pain. The main benefit of MSM is as an anti-inflammatory that offers some relief to peo with arthritis and other types of Inflammatory, muscle, or joint pain.
MSM is also believed to protect cartilage.
Glucosamine
Glucosamine is a natural amino sugar produced by your body. The highest natural concentration of glucosamine is in joints and
cartilage, where it makes up the structure of glycosaminoglycans, compounds essential for joint health. This supplement is normally processed from crustacean shells or produced by the bacterial fermentation of grains. The way glucosamine affects arthritis isn't completely understood. Researchers believe that naturally occurring glucosamine helps protect the cartilage inside your joints. Additionally, several studies suggest that taking glucosamine supplements may reduce collagen breakdown and inflammation, which are the main causes for joint cartilage breakdown.
Curcumin
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric and is the main focus of the research as it's the source of many of turmeric's beneficial health properties. Research has shown that curcumin has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and several other beneficial properties.
Some studies point towards curcumin as being among the most effective anti-inflammatory compounds, even when compared to certain anti-inflammatory drugs used for joint pain.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring mucopolysaccharide. Hyaluronic acid acts primarily as a cushioning and hydrating agent, with a high water absorption capacity. This gel-like molecule is found naturally within the cartilage and synovial fluid of the joints, HA helps with lubrication. However, as the availability of HA decreases with age, so too does the lubrication. There has been a lot of research investigating the effect of HA on patients suffering from osteoarthritis. Due to the important joint cushioning characteristics of HA, it's been theorized that increasing the availability of this molecule may help to minimize joint pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis.
Bromelain
Bromelain is a protein digesting enzyme derived from the stem, fruit, and juice of the pineapple and some other plants. Bromelain has been used for many ailments, including skin, digestive, and joint issues. In assisting joint pain, bromelain has been found to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties that reduce pain, soft-tissue swelling, and joint stiffness associated with arthritis.
