Best Vitamins and Supplements for Autoimmune diseases: What Does the Science Say?

The latest research on nanocurcumin, autoimmunity, inflammation and clinical studies.

Autoimmune diseases

Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues.

There are more than 80 recognized autoimmune conditions , affecting almost any organ

I myself (Dr. Conor Kerley) live with a chronic autoimmune disease, multiple sclerosis.

Common autoimmune diseases include:

• ·      Ankylosing spondylitis (AS)
• ·      Graves disease
• Hashimoto's thyroiditis (autoimmune thyroid disease)
• Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD)
  • Crohn’s disease & ulcerative colitis
• ·      Lupus (SLE)
• ·      Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• ·      Psoriasis
• ·      Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
• ·      Sjögren syndrome
• ·      Type one Diabetes (T1DM)
• ·      Vitiligo

Nano curcumin and autoimmune diseases

Turmeric has been used medicinally for thousands of years.

But modern science shows that turmeric and the active components, curcuminoids, are very poorly absorbed.

Nano curcumin delivers more activity for superior absorption:

·      100x greater bioavailability ¹

·      2,233% higher peak blood levels ²

·      7x longer-lasting action ²

              compared to standard curcumin

Nano-curcumin has been directly studied in different autoimmune diseases and shown benefits including

·      improved symptoms ^{1,2,3,4,8,9,10,11}

·      reduced activity of inflammation genes ^1,2

·      better immune and inflammation regulation ^1,2,4,7

·      reduced levels of inflammation ^{1,2, 4,5,8}

·      Increased levels of anti-inflammatory molecules ^1,2

·      lower levels of inflammatory microRNAs ^1,2,6 (microRNAs control how genes are switched on or off)

·      Improved gut immune regulation ⁸

·      Less depression ⁸

If you’d like to try nanocurcumin, check out our gold standard curcumin which combines:

A research based dose of nanocurcumin with key vitamins and minerals including vitamin D3 for:

·      normal inflammation response function

·      normal immune function

·      + much more

Gold standard curcumin: only one capsule daily for simple, effective joint health and overall inflammation support!

If If you have an autoimmune disease, nano curcumin may be a worthwhile option to help manage inflammation, immune regulation and ultimately symptoms.

Another fascinating compound regarding autoimmune diseases is alpha lipoic acid

A 2019 research review highlighted the immunomodulatory effect of alpha lipoic acid in autoimmune disease and concludes that:

'alpha lipoic acid may have beneficial effects in autoimmune diseases

In fact, there is direct scientific research in humans that alpha lipoic acid is beneficial in several autoimmune diseases:

Graves' disease

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s and Colitis

MS (multiple sclerosis)

Psoriasis

Type 1 diabetes (T1DM)

Vitiligo
