Alternatives to Anti Inflammatories 💊
Arthritis treatment in the NHS amounts to: weight loss advice, prescription of anti-inflammatory medications and to await progression of arthritis until knee replacement is required 🏥
Besides anti-inflammatories such as: Ibuprofen, Diclofenac and Naproxen, there are many other options for treatments. One of my favourites strategies for pain relief for aching joints is to use a natural cream made from Chill Peppers, which has very few side effects compared to anti-inflammatories.

Curcumin x NSAID Combo 🌿
The evidence just keeps coming for the benefits of turmeric, in particular it’s active constituent Curcumin. One of the most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds, the supplement is an invaluable addition for arthritis pain & stiffness 👈

Krill vs Algae Oil - Omega 3 🐟
Omega 3 is, in our opinion, the most essential supplement on the market. These fatty acids are not made in the body, so diet and/or supplementation is of paramount importance. Omega 3s protect against cardiovascular disease, maintain a healthy brain and have benefit knee pain & stiffness in rheumatoid arthritis ✅
People often ask me which Omega 3 is better, so I created a 20s handy guide for how to choose which supplement is best for you 🎥 👇
