Consumers can help to keep their joints supple and flexible by increasing their essential fatty acid intake with a supplement such as Lubramine, new research has shown.
A study by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) found that osteoarthritis sufferers who took supplements containing Celadrin, a patented blend of essential fatty acids which is available under the brand name Lubramine, were able to increase the distance they were able to walk pain-free by an average of 45 per cent.
The study also found that patients who took Celadrin, which contributes to joint health by decreasing inflammation, reported a 35 per cent decrease in knee discomfort and significantly improved knee function.
"These are promising results and warrant further investigation," said GP and orthopaedic sports physician Dr Rav Naik.
Dr Naik said that complementary medications can be used together with physical therapy and joint protection techniques to improve joint health and reduce the risk of arthritis.
He added: "If steps are taken early enough then conditions like arthritis could even be prevented from occurring in the first place."
