[Revealed] The Root Cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis (And How to Fix It!)
If you have rheumatoid arthritis, you’re no stranger to pain.
Unlike osteoarthritis, which is caused by wear and tear of the cartilage in the joints, RA is an autoimmune disease that occurs when your immune system attacks your joints.
This leads to chronically painful, swollen joints. As the disease progresses, your joints can erode, becoming deformed and unusable.
It’s miserable.
But reserachers recently identified a surprising supplement that can help with the characteristic pain and swelling of RA.
Researchers looked at a meta-analysis of nine studies including 40,000 people.
The consensus was that vitamin E had a beneficial effect on sensitive and swollen joints in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
More specifically, vitamin E was found to…
- Reduce joint discomfort
- Reduce swelling
- Reduce stiffness
- Enhance overall quality of life
Although this study did not look into why vitamin E produces these benefits, the researchers theorized that it has to do with vitamin E’s ability to restore the intestinal barrier and improve the gastrointestinal tract.
What does your intestinal barrier have to do with RA?
Many studies have suggested that changes in your gut microbiome could be responsible for the joint inflammation in RA.
In addition, research has shown that a leaky gut can cause inflammation—and that repairing gut permeability can put a STOP to joint inflammation.
Directly reducing inflammation with nutrients like curcumin or Boswellia can help with the symptoms.
But by focusing on improving your gut health, you could be getting to the true root of the problem.
And that’s where real healing begins.
