PremiumConnecting the evidence…
Hydrolyzed collagen
“More extensive clinical trials also demonstrated that hydrolyzed collagen improved symptoms related to rheumatoid arthritis. A study of 274 people between the ages of 18 and 80 years with active rheumatoid arthritis found that hydrolyzed collagen reduced pain, stiffness, and disease activity.”
Cold exposure
“There is currently no cure for arthritis, but some treatments include pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, exercise, and joint surgery. Cold exposure may effectively reduce inflammation and pain associated with arthritis.”
Quercetin
“Quercetin and chronic diseases Quercetin's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may be beneficial in preventing many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, and others.”
Aliquot #54: Dietary and environmental factors that may impact autoimmune diseases
“Autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis occur when the immune system mistakes the body's own proteins for those released by invading pathogens.”
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation)
“Researchers have conducted many reviews and individual studies on the effects of photobiomodulation on rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis in cell lines, animal models, and humans.”
Vitamin C
“Some studies have tested the effect of intravenous vitamin C in reducing inflammation and pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis due to its capacity to modulate the immune system and decrease oxidative stress.”
Thymic involution
“Autoimmunity – Immunosenescence reduced production of naive T cells (which react to new antigens) and increased production of clonal T cells (which react to previously encountered antigens), increasing the risk of developing autoantibodies, which are central to the development of rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune diseases.”
FOXO
“A reduced inflammatory response may be beneficial in some diseases, such as those closely associated with inflammation (e.g., Crohn's disease or rheumatoid arthritis), but may be harmful in others (e.g., malaria).”
Autophagy
“In rheumatoid arthritis, upregulation of TNF-alpha, a proinflammatory cell-signaling protein, induces autophagy, promoting the differentiation of osteoclasts, a type of bone cell that breaks down mineralized tissue in the joint, destroying the joint architecture.”
