Abstract

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic, inflammatory disease that affects joints and leads to progressive cartilage and bone deterioration. The susceptibility to RA is determined by genetic and environmental factors. Recently, many efforts have been undertaken to develop natural compounds capable of reducing the symptoms of RA to avoid the negative effects of the current anti-inflammatory drugs. Interestingly, substantial data has revealed that nutritional, and herbal supplements may be effective adjuvants in reducing the symptoms of RA by influencing the pathogenic inflammatory processes. In this context, various kinds of food, phenolic substances, spices like ginger, and turmeric, several vitamins, and probiotics are reported to control the activity of inflammatory molecules implicated in the pathophysiology of RA and therefore, have proved successful in slowing the course of this arthritic illness. Therefore, the goal of this review article is to compile various findings on RA that have revealed illuminating information about the antiinflammatory, antioxidant, analgesic, immunomodulatory, and bone erosion-preventing properties of nutritional, and herbal components. Conclusively, this review concentrates on natural ingredients that may enhance overall well-being, promote health, and lessen the risk of RA.
