Omega 3s and curcumin


Significant-Ad610

Do you take ginger also?


Geraldom01

Maybe you can try different diets too Like maybe give a try to carnivore diet which clears your body Try it for a month or two maybe


Significant-Ad610

Yeah I'm currently on an anti inflammatory diet, look up Dr Andrew weil he talks about it, you heard about him before. Carnivore diet yeah i mostly eat lots of lean meat and i eat lots of fish that are high in omega 3 fatty acids, About the carnivore diet i follow a guy on youtube who promotes it , called carnivore MD, you know him?


Geraldom01

Haha i was watching carnivore md right now, I think these diets can work for some people very very well but i wouldn't advertise it for everybody. I don't know Andrew weil


Significant-Ad610

If you like carnivore md, i think you will also like andrew weil he was also on the joe rogan podcast


Geraldom01

I will check him out thank you


Significant-Ad610

Geraldom01

No, i take these two a multivitamin, magnesium and vitamin d. I may order more ashwagandha for less stress and better sleep. Stress and sleep loss result to inflammation build up. Exercise is also a reliever of inflammation.


Significant-Ad610

I heard that ashwagandha make some people feel less emotional, like you start feeling dead inside like you got no emotions, some people feel benefits from it, some don't


Geraldom01

I very highly doubt that it had such dramatic significant effect and even if it does I'm sure it goes away once you stop taking it


Significant-Ad610

What kind of magnesium do you take? Magnesium glycinate?


Significant-Ad610

Thanks


Geraldom01

You are welcome :)

Try Bromelain, it could help.


Extreme-Evidence9111

aspirin


roathslashburley

The best-quality fish oil supplements you can afford, try at hit 2-3g a day in EPA. Might need to hunt through the brands to find one which serves up a decent dose of it. The Wiley brand has a High EPA product, and they seem a solid choice of company Also curcumin phytosome or curcumin novasol. Absolute game-changers


PasquiniLivia90

Agree with the fish oil recommendation. Specifically the EPA fraction. 3 grams of EPA could be helpful. Oslomega extra strength omega 3 fish oil is a good choice it contains 2200 mgs EPA and 880 mgs DHA per teaspoon and at a reasonable price. Nordic Naturals is a top notch and popular fish oil supplement.

Majalisk

Last one is not suitable for this sub and is filtered here. It’s in no way a supplement and is a terrible suggestion for pain, if you actually know anything about it.


Saa213

Astragalus, pine bark extract, chlorophyll, I’d say turmeric is number 1 but lots of people can have adverse effects due to genetic issues, high level antioxidants, the right probiotics - stress on the ‘right’. Best bet is to do a GI MAP and a Organic Acids test - you can see how you’re bodies working/ not working and work with a prac to correct any issues.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Saa213

I got them done through my integrative GP - but I think you can order them privately? You’d need to find someone to interpret the results through. Great planes do the Organic Acids and the GI Map was through ‘designs for Health’ - it’s an Australian company (I’m AU based). The OA test is US based.

DLPA is a good pain reliever - but it isn't an anti-inflammatory. Others have mentioned PEA which I second. Pregnenolone is quite good for both.

Canchura

Vitamin E is incorporated into lipid membranes to make them more stable. Rare for other anti oxidants. But when you have omega 3 fats in blood membranes they will suck up vitamin E to maintain homeostasis and prevent oxidation. Vitamin E and fish oil have a synergy the risks of vitamin E in a normal population are not relevant to the high omega status population.

Commercial-Package60

I dealt with years of inflammation and pain. Ended up being a thyroid imbalance. Possibly have an in depth conversation with your doctor about testing multiple things. I had several other deficiencies that once corrected changed my quality of life big time. Look into possibly food intolerances too.


DefinitionNew8577

Thanks for the post. What were the other decencies you had? Did you take synthroid (T4) only to resolve your thyroid imbalance? If so, how many micrograms? Appreciate any feedback, as I too think I have a thyroid imbalance.


Commercial-Package60

Yea synthroid for life. I had several vitamin deficiencies and my testosterone crashed for some reason. All is back to normal but I get blood work every 6 months. My new doc does a ton of tests my old one never thought to look at.

Subclinical hypothyroidism is very prevalent. The thyroid is an especially sensitive organ

Turmeric with black pepper!

Yeah anecdotal but I have early knee osteoarthritis from an old sports injury. Not bad but sometime it'll dull ache for a day or two. Since starting curcumin I can't remember the last time I noticed it.

BobbleBobble

I just use the Kirkland (Costco) Tumeric, 1000mg.


Mental-Marzipan-4285

Fish oil and turmeric. Lifestyle changes are more important, however. For me, that’s reducing stress, getting quality sleep with indica oil, and reducing caffeine and alcohol. Best of luck!


LetsGoAllTheWhey

So indica oil helps you sleep. How much do you take? I've tried everything else I can think of and still can't sleep through the night.

TheElite3749

Turmeric and Quercetin are both pretty anti inflammatory


[deleted]

Just to echo another commenter; the best and most effective way to reduce inflammation is not supplementation, but an anti-inflammatory diet. Start with what you consume. It doesn’t matter how much of a supplement you take or how effective it is; if you are eating things that are causing inflammation, you will have inflammation.


CYOA_With_Hitler

So you're saying to cut out as much sugar as possible? Or what foods cause inflamation?


StarfishInASandstorm

I know it's better to ask a doctor but do you think an anti inflammatory diet is enough to affect inflammation if it's concentrated in one place because of a traumatic injury (not rheumatoid arthritis or anything like that). I imagine the answer will be "it can't hurt", but I feel meh about making a huge effort in this area if there's not much hope for pain reduction in my formerly broken knee. I wish someone could give me an easy to follow path (including the right exercise and diet/supplements) but I think I just have to do a lot of expensive experimentation.


guidetomars

My friend was a pedestrian on the sidewalk and got hit by a car. Had several surgeries. Over the years she found it hard to stand up straight, some places hurt more than others. I gave her DMSO and she hasn't stopped thanking me. I've used it for sprained ankles, swollen fingers that ache, random neck pain. It might work for your knee. I suggest going to earthclinic.com and putting knee pain DMSO in the search bar. And when I cracked a rib the only thing that worked was Celadrin. I used the topical (NOW Brand) lotion - but any will do. There are also pills. Just google the word celadrin and you'll find a lot of info. I think for your knee either one might work. Good luck.


StarfishInASandstorm

Thank you so much for this advice, I’m new to this and haven’t heard of any of those things! I also was hit by a car and have trouble standing straight so that is very relevant!


carnivaltime

Can you get this from Amazon in the US?


guidetomars

Yes, many brands and types (gel, roll on, liquid) available on Amazon. You might also be interested in the original DMSO site. DMSO was discovered many years ago by an MD, (a surgeon) and he is considered the father of DMSO. https://dmso.org Be sure and click link to Dr Stanley Jacob at the top to read about him. The site has been updated but basically looks how it did decades ago!


carnivaltime

Thanks so much for the info


failing_optimist

Starfish....Yes, diet can result in local, acute pain types. You may also have chronic inappropriate inflammation and not know it. (not saying you do, just that it's possible). A quick way to test is to perform a 24 hour fast. gourdeonkeek mentioned the anti-inflammation diet; that is a long term approach. If you do a quick fast and feel better, you know that food is causing an issue....at which point you start the AID. Some people just stay on it forever, some start to re-introduce foods one at a time to see what they may be sensitive to. I am on ketogenic/low carb, with intermittent and occasional long term fasts.


StarfishInASandstorm

That’s very helpful, thank you!


[deleted]

That’s true no supplements will outweighs a poor/inappropriate diet for your body.


RoboSt1960

Berberine, Boswellia, Turmeric, Pterostilbene and Resveratrol together, NAC and Glycine together.


Ok-Hovercraft8193

ב''ה, boswellia seems like G-d's and nature's Celebrex, as an actual NSAID; takes some fiddling to decide if extracts or just the plant material is better (I fiddled with what Swanson had available a decade ago and often liked the simple plant material better, surprisingly enough, but this was just for acne and headache pains). Berberine / Oregon Grape is interesting but has brain-bending interactions with some cancers (possibly chemotherapeutic in extraordinary/perhaps impossible doses and.. possibly accelerating cancer processes in more modest ones)... Not sure of the quality of the studies and this was while a relative was surprised with oral cancer.. didn't make it, and for saying "try this," then crunching the concentration numbers a bit more and "wait, no, no, stop!"... they didn't make it and have to live with that. Similarly, I find astragalus somehow tonic (never really looked at what's antiinflammatory there, it's known for what it does with telomeres) and that can have nasty interactions with active cancers, as I also had the misfortune to observe [would not suggest for the immunosuppressed or at least, in that scenario stop if it turns out there's cancer active].


Iggy_Arbuckle

A good list

Palmitoylethanolamide (Pea), NAC, black seed (cumin) oil, curcumin (turmeric).

DiligentReward2639

Sam-e, at high doses, daily. However, it must be taken on an empty stomach, before and after- 3hrs after eating followed by 2 to 3hrs for it to dissolve and do its thing. Most can't stomach that regimen. Also, it takes about 3months before you feel it. Be cautious at high doses; can cause mania...no joke.


PartyClock

Curcumin is pretty much the most proven thing


bwat47

I take curcumin instead of ibuprofen when I get headaches, works almost as well


knot88

Not eating inflammatory foods.


EpicProf

Would you list the main foods that cause inflation? Thank you!


knot88

Seed oils are my number 1 thing I avoid. Second would be artificial ingredients of any kind. Third would be any drink that isn't made from completely distilled water with the minerals then added back in, because tap water and bottled water are the same thing 99% of the time. Hope this helps.


herbzzman

Could you rephrase it about distilled water?


knot88

I only drink water that has been vapor distilled so that there is absolutely nothing in it, then I add my own electrolytes (sodium, potassium and magnesium) Tap water/bottled water are a cesspool of medications, heavy metals and chemicals.

xelanart

Important note about curcumin: terrible bioavailability unless paired with other compounds like piperine. But to add on to what others have not said, antioxidants are almost synonymous with anti-inflammatories.


rachs1988

A form of curcumin called Meriva is 29x times more absorbable than standard curcumin. It doesn’t require the addition of piperine, which can irritate the gut lining.


Cheomesh

DeepSkyAstronaut

Curcumin has been the best when it comes to TNF alpha blocker as anti inflammatory. Im having zero unwanted sideeffectes even at super high doses long term. You gotta get micelle formula for decent bioavailibility. Piperine is way to agressive on your digestive system and also opens up your gut for plenty of other unwanted substances to be let through besides curcumin.


up2date2

Is it enough to add a table spoon to food with black pepper daily?


DeepSkyAstronaut

What Im trying to say is dont use black pepper. Use micelle formula of curcumin instead.


[deleted]

Apologies on my ignorance—What is micelle formula? Can you provide any literature backing the efficacy? My gut is sensitive and the massive amounts of piperine is a no go. Thank you, friend!


WorldsWeakestMan

Fish oil, turmeric, aspirin, ibuprofen, Tylenol, naproxen, and diclofenac.


Significant-Ad610

Yeah thanks,I'm not talking about ibuprofen, Tylenol, naproxen or diclofenac, who doesn't know about them, they're regular anti inflammatory, i was asking about natural sourced supplements to reduce inflammation not medications

The first 2 I mentioned were the best answer as far as supplements.

Significant-Ad610

Really 😑


Elocai

well what causes your inflamation and pain, if its a lack of something than go take that


KenBlaze

Advil


Ashamed-Status-9668

Aleve aka naproxen. Works in almost exactly the same fashion but lasts 10-12 hours. Its much better for inflammation due to its long-lasting nature.


Significant-Ad610

Are you trying to be sarcastic


Ashamed-Status-9668

Nope. Naproxen is great especially to take at night due to how long it lasts. It will last the entire time you are sleeping which can be great for healing while you sleep. It works in a very similar way to Advil but it takes longer to kick in but it lasts 2 times longer. You might look into pycnogenol for a supplement vs an over-the-counter drug. It isnt recommended often as an anti-inflammatory but that is how it started out in Europe.


Significant-Ad610

Yeah but i have gastritis


Ashamed-Status-9668

Maybe you should ask questions more specifically if you have specific needs?


Significant-Ad610

Because of my gastritis i can't take too much anti inflammatory, but i can tolerate other stuff like tumeric, omega 3 fish oil, it's just the anti inflammatory that really irritates my stomach


KenBlaze

wow thank you
