Natural supplements that show promise to Psoriasis

Posted by V-PSor Psoriasis cream at 02:22 0 Comments
Limited studies show support for some natural therapies for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Among them:

Fish oil: Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which the body converts into anti-inflammatory chemicals. A study of 30 patients by researchers in Spain published in Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology in 2011 found that the group given two fish oil capsules daily for eight weeks showed clear improvement in their plaque psoriasis.


Curcumin: Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are both linked to systemic inflammation, and curcumin, the active ingredient in the Indian spice turmeric, has been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body. A study published in the January-February 2013 issue of the journal BioFactors found that curcumin works in several ways to help improve a number of inflammatory diseases.

Probiotics: A study published in January 2015 in Arthritis & Rheumatology found that people diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis had less abundant bacteria in their gut. Common products such as yogurt and some milks contain probiotics, and probiotics also are available as supplements. Scientists are still studying whether probiotics could one day become part of a psoriasis treatment. In the meantime, patients interested in probiotics should discuss the topic with their doctor. You can also read about the National Center for Biotechnology Information's research on probiotics.

Vitamin D: This is used in many effective topical treatments for psoriasis, and while we don’t know that dietary supplements of vitamin D and sunlight have the same effect, healthy levels of vitamin D are generally considered by medical doctors to be important for overall health and skin health.
