(Medical-NewsWire.com, September 15, 2014 ) Portland, Oregon -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that one in every five adults in the United States suffer from doctor-diagnosed arthritis. The prevalence of arthritis has resulted in the massive production of pain relief options such as drugs and supplements.
According to statistics, 7% of individuals who have arthritis also suffer from psoriasis. Psoriatic arthritis, otherwise known as inflammatory arthritis, affects any joint in the body. The symptoms may vary from one person to another, but sufferers usually experience swelling, pain in the feet, back pain, morning stiffness, nail problems, red skin patches, and fatigue.
Psoriatic arthritis can happen to anyone at any point in life. However, it typically appears in those between 30 to 50 years of age. It is believed that environmental factors, genes, and the immune system play a major role in the development of the condition.
Studies show that curcumin supplements may be able to help minimize psoriatic arthritis flares. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric and has very powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin are believed to have the capacity to fight inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.
Living with psoriatic arthritis can be challenging. If sufferers experience stress, it aggravates psoriatic arthritis and make them more sensitive to pain. The pain can also hinder an individual's ability to perform regular tasks and be physically active.
"Although more studies are needed to validate the effects of curcumin, there are also some studies that showed the ingredient has the capacity to inhibit the enzyme PhK. This enzyme is believed to be the cause of the overactive skin cell growth that is associated with psoriasis," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Countless stories about the efficiency of turmeric in helping people reduce psoriasis flare-ups have already been circulating. There were individuals who simply used turmeric in their meals or use it as a paste. However, many choose supplements, as they are convenient to consume and generally deliver much more concentrated doses (www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI/).
