Componenti che aiutano nell'azione anti-artritica sono sostanze che possono contribuire a ridurre l'infiammazione e il dolore associati all'artrite. Ecco alcuni esempi
MSM (Metilsulfonilmetano). Può aiutare a ridurre il dolore e l'infiammazione (1).
Boswellia. Un'erba che può ridurre l'infiammazione e il dolore articolare (2).
Glucosamina e Condroitina. Integratori che possono aiutare a ricostruire la cartilagine e ridurre il dolore articolare (3).
Omega-3 Acidi Grassi. Presenti in pesci grassi, semi di lino e noci, possono ridurre l'infiammazione.
Curcumina. Il principio attivo della curcuma, noto per le sue proprietà anti-infiammatorie.
Vitamina D. Importante per la salute delle ossa e può aiutare a ridurre il dolore in persone con artrite.
Gingeroli. Presenti nello zenzero, hanno effetti anti-infiammatori.
Vitamina C. Aiuta nella produzione di collagene e può ridurre l'infiammazione.
Magnesio. Importante per la salute delle ossa e può aiutare a rilassare i muscoli.
Esercizio fisico regolare. Aiuta a mantenere la flessibilità delle articolazioni e a ridurre il dolore.
Componenti che possono contribuire o esacerbare l'artrite includono vari fattori che possono aumentare l'infiammazione e il dolore articolare. Ecco alcuni esempi:
Alimenti ricchi di grassi saturi e Trans. Presenti in cibi fritti e snack confezionati, possono aumentare l'infiammazione.
Zuccheri raffinati. Trovati in dolci e bibite zuccherate, possono peggiorare l'infiammazione.
Alcool. Il consumo eccessivo può aumentare l'infiammazione e peggiorare i sintomi dell'artrite.
Glutine. Per persone con sensibilità al glutine, può aggravare l'infiammazione.
Cibi ad alto indice glicemico. Come pane bianco e riso bianco, possono aumentare l'infiammazione.
Omega-6 Acidi Grassi. Presenti in molti oli vegetali, possono promuovere l'infiammazione se consumati in eccesso.
Carenza di esercizio fisico. La sedentarietà può peggiorare la rigidità e il dolore articolare.
Fumo. Può aumentare l'infiammazione e peggiorare i sintomi dell'artrite.
Stress. Lo stress cronico può influenzare negativamente l'infiammazione e il dolore.
Carenza di Sonno. La mancanza di sonno adeguato può aumentare l'infiammazione e il dolore.

Abstract. Objective. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and the second most common cause of long-term disability among middle-aged and older adults in the United States. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a popular dietary supplement used as a single agent and in combination with other nutrients, and purported to be beneficial for arthritis. However, there is paucity of evidence to support the use of MSM....Conclusion. MSM (3 g twice a day) improved symptoms of pain and physical function during the short intervention without major adverse events. The benefits and safety of MSM in managing OA and long-term use cannot be confirmed from this pilot trial, but its potential clinical application is examined. Underlying mechanisms of action and need for further investigation of MSM are discussed.

Anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects of methanol extract of the stem bark of Boswellia dalzielii Hutch (Burseraceae) in rats. Inflammopharmacology. 2018 Dec;26(6):1383-1398. doi: 10.1007/s10787-018-0505-x.
Abstract. Boswellia dalzielii is a tall tree (more than 13 m high) that produces aromatic white flowers. This plant is commonly used in indigenous medicine across Africa against diarrhea, malaria, vomiting, inflammation and arthritis. The present study focuses on the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritis potential of methanol extract of Boswellia dalzielii (BDME). Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated in inflammatory models induced by carrageenan, arachidonic acid, histamine, serotonin, prostaglandin and bradykinin. Anti-arthritis activity was measured using complete Freund's adjuvant model. Intracellular and extracellular ROS production and proliferation of T-cells were evaluated using chemiluminescence and liquid scintillation counter techniques, respectively. TNF-α and IL-1β production were assessed using ELISA and MTT assay performed for cytotoxicity. BDME revealed a significant anti-inflammatory effect by preventing the development of edema caused by carrageenan, arachidonic acid, histamine, serotonin, prostaglandin and bradykinin. For anti-arthritic properties of BDME, the results showed a significant reduction of the joint diameter and a decrease in pain in the treated animals. The extract also showed a noticeable systemic effect, maintaining the values of the evaluated parameters close to normal in treated rats with an inhibition of joint destruction as shown in histopathological analysis. Furthermore, BDME exhibited significant inhibition of extracellular and intracellular ROS production. Still, the extract displayed significant inhibitory activity on T-cell proliferation as well as a reduced production of TNF-α and IL-1β. Boswellia dalzielii could be considered as a promising tract in the prevention and/or management of inflammatory diseases.

Effect of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials. Rheumatol Int. 2018 Aug;38(8):1413-1428. doi: 10.1007/s00296-018-4077-2.
Abstract. Although glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have showed beneficial effects on joint tissues in osteoarthritis (OA), their therapeutic use in the clinical setting is still debatable. Hence, a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized placebo-controlled trials was conducted to investigate the efficacy of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate on knee OA symptoms. Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases were searched for randomized placebo-controlled trials evaluating the effect of orally administered glucosamine and/or chondroitin sulfate on OA symptoms using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) and/or the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model and generic inverse-variance method. Heterogeneity was tested using the I2 statistic index. Treatments with glucosamine and chondroitin were found to significantly reduce pain in VAS [weighted mean difference (WMD) - 7.41 mm, 95% CI - 14.31, - 0.51, p = 0.04 and WMD - 8.35 mm, 95% CI - 11.84, - 4.85, p < 0.00001, respectively]. Their combination did not show this behavior (WMD - 0.28 mm, 95% CI - 8.87, 8.32, p = 0.95). None of the glucosamine, chondroitin or their combination had a significant positive effect on the total WOMAC index and its subscores. Oral supplementation with glucosamine or chondroitin sulfate reduces pain in knee OA. However, there is no additional effect using both therapeutic agents in combination for the management of symptomatic knee OA.
