\"\"<\/a>Arthritis is a generic term that describes over 100 different medical conditions. All of these conditions will cause inflammation in the musculoskeletal system. At this point a definitive cause for the development of most of these arthritic conditions is not been found. However, researchers and doctors do have specific treatment protocols which help individuals to decrease pain,\u00a0inflammation<\/a>\u00a0and improve their function. One of the treatments which individuals and physicians have experimented with is fish oil.<\/p>\n

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fatty fish, both fresh water and salt water varieties. Research over the past decade has found that both Omega six and Omega three fatty acids are considered essential. This means there are essential to human health and cannot be made in the body. For this reason they must be obtained from the food. Together, they play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development.<\/p>\n

However, researchers have also found that Omega six fatty acids increase the inflammatory process in the body. For this reason, doctors may recommend\u00a0fish oil<\/a>\u00a0supplements that contain the Omega three fatty acids and not\u00a0flax seed<\/a>\u00a0oil which also contains Omega six.<\/p>\n

There has been data from a few randomized double controlled studies that have demonstrated a beneficial effect to individuals who suffer from\u00a0rheumatoid<\/a>\u00a0arthritis and use a dietary fish oil supplements. In many of these studies the patients were able to decrease the amount of other medications they use in order to control or\u00a0inflammation<\/a>. And in one study the researchers found that combining fish oil with\u00a0olive oil<\/a>\u00a0could also enhance the anti-inflammatory effects.<\/p>\n

However, while researchers do know that Omega three fatty acids from fish oil will decrease the inflammatory process in the body, and therefore cause reduced pain and\u00a0swelling<\/a>\u00a0in individuals who suffer from some forms of arthritis, there has also not been any evidence that it reduces the progression of the disease.\u00a0Omega-3<\/a>\u00a0fatty acids also lowered triglycerides, reduce blood pressure and protect against\u00a0cardiovascular disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The type of\u00a0fish oil<\/a>\u00a0which is used for the supplements is important. Research has found that salmon, mackerel, halibut, tuna and herring, all of which are cold water fish, produce the best omega-3 fatty acids to produce an\u00a0anti-inflammatory<\/a>\u00a0effect in the body. Researchers believe that you cannot get enough of the omega-3 fatty acids from eating foods alone and must use dietary supplementation. However, not everyone should take these supplements. For instance, individuals who are on an\u00a0anticoagulant<\/a>\u00a0therapy program will find that\u00a0omega-3<\/a>\u00a0fatty acids and fish oil will impact their clotting times. Pregnant women should not take these supplements because of the danger of mercury poisoning to the baby.<\/p>\n

As with all supplements that you may consider in order to reduce the pain and inflammation you feel from your arthritis, you must consult with your primary care physician or rheumatologist. While they may be dietary supplements, they are still chemicals which you are putting into your body and can cause either side effects or interactions with other medications you are already taking. Your rheumatologist will be able to help you with these questions in your pharmacist will be able to tell you if there is any drug interactions with any medications you\u2019re currently on.<\/p>\n

Arthritis<\/a>\u00a0can be a seriously debilitating disease. The good news is that recent research has discovered there are excellent natural products, including omega-3\u00a0fish oils<\/a>, then help to treat the pain and discomfort for individuals who are suffering from\u00a0arthritis<\/a>. As research continues to develop and discover a variety of ways of treating this inflammatory process there continues to be hope on the horizon for those who suffer on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
