New research indicates that having unbalanced gut flora may be the #1 cause of arthritis.
And one common supplement may completely counteract this cause, significantly improving and indeed healing arthritis.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, new studies show that people with arthritis have low levels of the mineral selenium, which contains antioxidants that help control inflammation.
They also found data from mice to support that gut flora indicated their likelihood of developing arthritis.
The digestive track often becomes inflamed in patients with arthritis, resulting in a leaky gut (also called increased intestinal permeability).
This permits toxins, pathogens and incompletely digested proteins and fats to “leak” out of the intestines and into the bloodstream, which can trigger inflammation to spread to other parts of the body.
Probiotics can inhibit inflammatory biomarkers caused by this bad gut flora that lead to inflammation and cause joint pain.
In the double blind placebo-controlled study published in the journal Nutrition, the probiotic Lactobacillus Casei was given to 46 patients with arthritis for a period of 8 weeks and compared to a placebo treatment.
Disease activity scores and levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly decreased at the end of the study.
This lead researchers to state that probiotics should be used as an adjunct therapy for patients with arthritis.
