Collagen and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an auto-immune condition that affects up to 1% of the population worldwide and 1.2 million people in the US alone. In recent years, studies have focused on how liquid silica and its relationship to collagen production in the body can help manage the condition and ease symptoms. Let's find out more about the relationship between collagen and rheumatoid arthritis.
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an inflammatory disease and is an auto-immune condition. It is an inherited genetic condition that can be triggered in a healthy person by a virus infection, stress, or trauma; the answer as to why it occurs is unknown. Auto-immune conditions happen when the body’s immune system attacks healthy cells by mistake - causing an inflammation response. In the case of those with Rheumatoid Arthritis, the immune system attacks a protein in joints that it mistakes for the enemy, and this causes painful swelling and joint degradation. Over time, this condition can result in bone erosion and joint deformity. There is no cure for Rheumatoid Arthritis, but research does indicate that the correct supplements can help manage pain and slow down the progression of the disease.
Does collagen help ease the pain of rheumatoid arthritis?
There is ongoing debate as to whether a collagen supplement can assist those suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis – so the scientifically informed jury is still out on that! However, testimonials from those who have Rheumatoid Arthritis and use a daily collagen supplement provide insight into the value that such a supplement can offer. Research points to un-denatured type II collagen found in chicken cartilage yields the best results. However, it is safe to say that most collagen supplements will provide some relief and slow down the progression of the disease; as long as you continue to use the supplement. When you stop using the supplement, the positive outcomes of help – don’t last.
