Top 10 Chronic Pain Supplements

Here are my top 10 Chronic Pain Supplements:

  1. Sam-e (S-adenosylmethionine) Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, helps cartilage and neurotransmitters
  2. Bromelain (Pineapple enzyme) – Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and has positive implications in cancer and other diseases and syndromes.
  3. 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.
  4. Turmeric – The curcumin (active ingredient) blocks inflammatory cytokines and enzymes.
  5. Boswelia (Indian Frankincense) – Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, may help cartilage
  6. White Willow Bark – Acts like Aspirin, a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory or NSAID
  7. Capsaicin – Reduces pain tramsmitters (Capsicum frutescens)
  8. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) – Has anti-inflammatory properties similar to NSAIDS and Cox-2 Inhibitors.
  9. Glucosamine/Condroitin – Good for Cartilage
  10. Boron – Helps rebuild bone, relieves osteoarthitis, see my blog: Boron-A Mineral that can do so much for chronic illness

I've suffered from many chronic illnesses for over 23 years. In researching my various conditions, I've improved the quality of my life. It's not perfect due to things like Fibromyalgia, but I'm thankful to still be able to do some things. My approach is very out-of-the-box as many doctors have been unable to help me and only provided me with symptom treatment, if that. Finding our triggers and root cause is essential to getting our lives back. We can't fix it by popping Ibuprofen. Chronic illness requires a multi-pronged approach to improve the quality of our lives. I am not a medical professional and am merely sharing my opinions and experiences, please find a good G.P. or Functional Medicine Doctor.
