Natural
Turmeric / Curcumin
for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Curcumin has specific RCT evidence for reducing RA joint symptoms and may have DMARD-complementary anti-inflammatory effects.
How it works
Inhibits NF-ÎșB and JAK-STAT inflammatory signalling pathways central to RA pathogenesis. Reduces TNF-α and IL-6 â the same cytokines targeted by biologic DMARDs, though less potently.
What to watch for
Should complement, not replace, prescribed DMARDs. Inform treating rheumatologist. May interact with anticoagulants. Use high-bioavailability formulation. Evidence weaker in RA than in OA.
