Orlando, FL — October 8, 2015 — The use of natural supplements has become so widespread that more and more herbal product manufacturing companies have become available in the international market. While these alternatives are generally believed to be healthy, not all of them are effective and safe to use.
The Arthritis Foundation warns sufferers about the worst supplements to avoid. According to experts, arthritis sufferers should know that there are products they need to use carefully or should not use at all. This is especially important since there are many unreliable herbal companies nowadays that are engaged in fraudulent activities.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, sufferers should avoid supplements such as the aconite, adrenal, arnica, autumn crocus, 5-HTP, chaparral, GBL, L-tryptophan, and kombucha tea. While these supplements are originally thought to be anti-inflammatory, they are considered to be unsafe to use.
The Arnica Montana, for instance, claims to be an immunity booster and anti-inflammatory, and has the ability to relieve aches. Unfortunately, it is found to be toxic when inside the human body. Unless it is completely diluted, it can be poisonous once taken orally. There are other known side effects of the supplement such as heart palpitations, miscarriages, allergic reactions, paralysis, and death.
Another supplement called aconite claims to ease joint inflammation, especially among rheumatoid arthritis sufferers. The bad news is that instead of being beneficial, it is a strong, fast-acting poison that jeopardizes the health of the central nervous system and heart.
The 5-HTP or 5-hydroxytrytophan, on the other hand, claims to fight depression, sleep disorder, and fibromyalgia. This should also be avoided because its use has been linked with the development of esosinophilia. This is a serious condition that is characterized by severe acute pain and rash.
These are just some of the dangerous supplements discovered by experts to be extremely dangerous to use. Arthritis sufferers should be mindful about the possible life-threatening situation that their use of certain supplements could potentially place them in.
The good news is that not all supplements are unsafe. As a matter of fact, there are many safe and effective supplements that are ideal for arthritis sufferers. Of course, they should practice prudent care in choosing a reliable herbal supplement manufacturer.
One of the most popular and useful anti-inflammatory supplements for arthritis sufferers is curcumin. Curcumin is an active ingredient of a medicinal spice called turmeric. It contains therapeutic properties such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Curcumin supplements with a bioavailability enhancing ingredient called BioPerine, which is a black pepper extract (www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-BioPerine-Pepper-Extract/dp/B00VSVKJ8I).
