Is Certo For Arthritis An Effective Treatment?

Many people swear by the effectiveness of an arthritis Certo treatment, yet to date there have been no studies conducted on it to prove its efficacy.

It is one of many home remedies for the treatment of arthritis that have caught on over the years, especially for those looking to avoid the possible side effects of anti-inflammatories such as Celebrex and Volteren.

Why do people take Certo for arthritis?

It is a thickening agent that can be found in most grocery stores which contains an extract called pectin, a natural ingredient found in plant cells. Its primary usage is to make jellies and jams.

The pectin found in Certo can purportedly reduce swelling in joints and therefore relieve the pain of arthritis, yet the mechanism by which this works is unknown.

It is usually mixed with grape juice, and taken 1-3 times per day. This home recipe is quite popular, but again all evidence that it works is strictly anecdotal. 

As such you may be better off with another more extensively researched arthritis treatment, some of which are outlined below.

Are there better treatments for arthritis?

Following are extensively researched natural treatments for arthritis:

Fish Oil - With its myriad health benefits as well as FDA support, fish oil has become the supplement of choice these days. Its Omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA has been shown to be essential for cartilage maintenance and repair.

MSM - a naturally occurring sulfur compound that acts as an anti-inflammatory, and therefore may shrink swelling offering relief to arthritis sufferers.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin - two of the more popular natural arthritis cures, these two naturally occuring substances can aid in joint fucntion and repair.

Manganese - an important antioxidant nutrient that helps facilitate enzymes and slow the aging process, useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Niacinamide - also known as Vitamin B3, it helps maintain the integrity of cells and tissues, slowing the progression of arthritis.

Turmeric and Ginger Extract - two powerful anti-inflammatory herbal extracts that have been shown to be more effective than anti-inflammatory drugs in treating the debilitating symptoms of arthritis.

For the treatment of arthritis Certo is probably not as effective as the above natural remedies.
