Suppress RA… without SACRIFICING your immune defenses!
If you’ve been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, you’ve become an EXPERT on the symptoms.
As it systemically ATTACKS multiple joints, it leaves you feeling sore… swollen… tender… inflamed…
But DAMPENING the symptoms of RA won’t ERASE the disease.
You’ve got to ZERO IN on its root cause.
And to do that, it’s important to know what its main CLINICAL trait is — overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines.
I’m talking about the “usual suspects” behind inflammation…
Like C-reactive protein… tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)… and interleukins.
Fortunately, various studies have shown that there’s an antioxidant nutrient that can inhibit AT LEAST ONE … and, in some cases, ALL … of these.
Researchers have seen the results in RA patients’ bloodwork!
And more importantly, it can stop this excessive inflammatory response right where it starts.
DOUSE the flames where they first ignited
I’m talking about CoQ10 – a “coenzyme” that all of our bodies can make.
But in some cases, we just can’t make ENOUGH of it… or our supply gets DEPLETED by some outside factor (like prescription meds we might be taking).
And that means we need to get it from an outside source.
In a 2015 in vivo study on real RA patients, supplementing with CoQ10 significantly SUPPRESSED the overexpression of TNF-α.
And a 2010 in vitro study showed how CoQ10 can BEAT BACK the secretion of both TNF-α and IL-2 by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
CURBING an overactive inflammatory response could be particularly helpful in autoimmune diseases such as RA…
Since the immune system on its own doesn’t know when to LET UP.
In cases like this, you don’t need to just BANISH inflammation – you need to TEMPER the overzealous reactions that are creating too much inflammation!
And you don’t need to SUPPRESS your immunity, either… the way that many RA drugs are designed to do.
The secret is in getting the balance JUST RIGHT.
I should mention one MORE benefit that CoQ10 appears to bring to the table when it comes to RA…
Its antioxidant power has also been shown in studies to REDUCE clinical markers of oxidative stress.
Now, I know what you’re wondering…
What does that mean for me??
Well, just last year, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial – the “gold standard” — showed that supplementing with CoQ10 can actually REDUCE disease activity.
RA patients experienced a LOWER pain score… and FEWER swollen and tender joints… than the placebo group.
And those incredible results occurred after just 2 months of supplementing with CoQ10.
The most commonly researched dosage of CoQ10 in people seems to be …
But check with your doc to see what a safe starting point would be for you.
CoQ10 is a fat-soluble nutrient — so be sure to take it with food.
