Here are my top 10 Chronic Pain Supplements for the United Kingdom:
- Sam-e (S-adenosylmethionine) Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, helps cartilage and neurotransmitters
- Bromelain (Pineapple enzyme) – Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and has positive implications in cancer and other diseases and syndromes.
- Artic Cod Liver Oil (With NO added Vitamin D, note the product will show a small amount of naturally occurring D.) Omega-3s block inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins, and are converted by the body into powerful anti-inflammatory chemicals called resolvins. Contains DHA and EPA, which have positive implications in dozens of diseases and syndromes.
- Turmeric – The curcumin (active ingredient) blocks inflammatory cytokines and enzymes.
- Boswelia (Indian Frankincense) – Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, may help cartilage
- White Willow Bark – Acts like Aspirin, a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory or NSAID
- Capsaicin – Reduces pain tramsmitters (Capsicum frutescens)
- Ginger (Zingiber officinale) – Has anti-inflammatory properties similar to NSAIDS and Cox-2 Inhibitors.
- Glucosamine/Condroitin – Good for Cartilage
- Boron – Helps rebuild bone, relieves osteoarthitis, see my blog: Boron-A Mineral that can do so much for chronic illness
