Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) and Vitamin D for Pain Free Joints

Clinical Studies have shown that the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish can help not only reduce symptoms associated with joint pain but also impact the levels of inflammation that may be causing some of the pain. The studies found that fish oil slows the production of inflammation-signalling cells.  The best sources of this critical EFA are salmon and tuna.

Further research shows that vitamin D also works to reduce inflammation and protect joints. Here as well, fish oil is the best natural source for vitamin D including: pure cod liver oil (not refined), salmon, tuna, mackerel, and sardines.

Eating plenty of these fish in your regular diet will have a dramatic impact on common joint problems. A good omega-3 and vitamin D supplement will also go a long way towards keeping joint pain at bay.
