Osteoarthritis
In inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, the presence of unusual fatty acids, Omega or n3 fatty acids in the cartilage cells reduces the activity of specific enzymes that are responsible for cartilage damage.

This inflammation of the joint lining is prevalent in osteoarthritis patients. A recent study published in the highly regarded medical journal, Arthritis & Rheumatism, found that synovial tissue samples from 97 (93%) of 104 patients with osteoarthritis showed mild, moderate, or severe inflammation. 31% showed severe 1 inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids have been well-known for a long time for their anti-inflammatory properties. The Eskimos of Greenland and the Japanese have a high dietary intake of Omega-3 from seafood and a low incidence of chronic inflammation, even when 2 compared to their Westernized ethnic counterparts. New research is driving forward our understanding by which Omega-3s work their anti-inflammatory powers. A 2005 study by researchers at Brigham and Womens Hospital and Harvard Medical School state: Clinical assessment of dietary supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids indicate their beneficial impact in certain human diseases, particularly those in which inflammation is suspected as a key component in pathogenesis. The Harvard team identified a new class of fats in humans, derived from a fatty acid found in fish oil, which they showed can control 3 inflammation. Lead Harvard researcher Dr. Charles Serhan was stated after the study, Since we obtained these results I started to encourage my own children to eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Many other respected academic and health institutions have also concluded from the scientific literature that Omega-3 is a natural and effective anti-inflammatory. Arthritis Research Campaign, for example, states: A number of studies have suggested that oily fish can help people with inflammatory arthritis and this new [Harvard and Brigham and Womens Hospital] study appear to confirm this. Our charity has also funded a small preliminary study which shows that oily fish or fish oil capsules can also play a part in reducing the pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis a degenerative type of

One study published in the highly regarded journal Arthritis & Rheumatism found that some Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients could not only reduce NSAID use but also eliminate it: We believe that our data support the previous observations that selected individuals with RA may discontinue NSAID therapy 6 while consuming Omega 3 supplements. We invite you to read more on Omega-3 and its potential as a safer alternative to NSAIDs.
