What is the Best Supplement to Take for Joint Pain?
Boswellia
Serrata: One of the best
Herbs for Arthritis
An effective arthritis supplement should contain
natural nutrients that would quickly relieve painful arthritis
inflammation while slowly rebuild degenerated cartilage,
and increase flexibility, mobility, and range of motion.
According to clinical
researches, Boswellia Serrata
is an effective anti-inflammation herb while Glucosamine,
Chondroitin, and MSM are cartilage-rebuilding nutrients.
Boswellia tree is from India and its extracted resin is used not
only for inflammation conditions but also for lung diseases,
diarrhea, reproductive disorders, and ulcer.
One well-designed clinical study suggests that Boswellia and its
bowellic acid constituent have natural anti-inflammatory properties
that may help reduce
arthritis inflammation and
relieve arthritis pain. Boswellic acids have been shown to
support healthy joint tissue, maintain circulation to joints, and
enhance joint mobility in animal testing without known side effects.
Boswellia seems to have the ability to switch off pro-inflammation
cytokines and interrupt leukotriene synthesis. Leukotrienes are
known to cause the initiation and progression of inflammation
symptoms of many diseases.

Another clinical study suggests that Boswellia have great value in
relieving
elbow joint pain, stiff muscle joint, and inflammation in a
natural formulation that includes Boswellia, Turmeric (Curcuma longa), and
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera). At the end of the study, 93
percent of the 42 people taken the preparation in a randomized,
double-blind, placebo controlled reported significant improvement in
pain, disability, and
joint health. |

Unlike conventional anti-inflammation NSAIDs (nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen, boswellia doesn't seem
to cause stomach irritation, ulceration, headache, nausea, and
hemorrhage as well as kidney damage.
In summary, best
arthritis supplements should feature a broad spectrum of high
potency joint-support nutrients such as Glucosamine, Chondroitin,
MSM in combination with complementary vitamins and
anti-inflammation herbs. These potential natural
arthritis
cures should be able to
provide effective relief for:

A study was published in the
February 2007 edition of the Indian Journal of Pharmacology about
the effectiveness of Boswellia Serrata in
osteoarthritis of the
knee and compared to valdecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, in
66 patients over a period of six months. According to Sontakke, et
al., the study author, Boswellia showed a slower onset of action,
but the effect persisted even after stopping therapy. In contrast
the action of valdecoxib became evident faster, but waned rapidly
after stopping treatment.
