Inflammation is part of your body’s natural defense system – it’s how your immune system responds to injury, infection, or stress. But when inflammation becomes chronic, it can contribute to a wide range of issues, from joint pain and skin flare-ups to heart disease and autoimmune conditions.
While a healthy diet and lifestyle form the foundation for keeping inflammation in check, meeting your nutritional needs with diet alone is not always easy or possible. There are some key supplements that can help improve your health and aging related symptoms by giving your body an extra boost in calming your body’s inflammatory response. Here are some of the most effective, scientifically researched options.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is critical for cognitive function and the immune system. Research shows vitamin D to be a key player in reducing inflammation in the body and supporting bone and heart health. Low vitamin D levels have also been linked to a higher risk of autoimmune issues. With the added vitamins A and K2, ADK Evail supports the immune system, builds bone and calcium optimization, and provides thyroid and cardiovascular benefits.
CoQ10
CoQ10 is an antioxidant that your body produces naturally for growth and health. By protecting cells from oxidative stress – a major trigger for inflammation – CoQ10 supports healthy blood vessels, heart function, and overall cellular health. However, in the face of chronic inflammation CoQ10 can become quickly depleted, so adding a supplement can help restore balance, reducing inflammation and boosting energy at the same time.
Probiotics
Eighty percent of our immune system is created within the gut. And when your gut is out of balance, chronic inflammation will take over, resulting in pain, digestive discomfort and an increased risk of chronic disease and cancers of the stomach and colon. Probiotic Supreme DF can help balance the microbiome, strengthen the gut barrier, and reduce immune overreaction.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, have powerful anti-inflammatory effects. They work by helping the body produce compounds that calm the immune system’s inflammatory response, reducing the production of inflammatory molecules and supporting overall heart, brain, and joint health. Because the body can’t create Omega-3s on its own, adding a supplement like Omega Pure to a healthy diet can be an effective way to lower inflammation.
Green Tea Extract (EGCg)
EGCg (epigallocatechin gallate) is a potent antioxidant in green tea that helps combat oxidative stress – a major contributor to inflammation. Adding an EGCg supplement can help with lowering the body’s inflammatory response, which can help calm chronic inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.
Supplements can be powerful tools in your anti-inflammatory toolkit, but they work best alongside a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and good sleep. As always, consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement – especially if you have medical conditions or take prescription medications. By combining lifestyle changes with targeted nutritional support, you can help your body stay in balance and keep chronic inflammation at bay.
