Nutritional supplements and other natural therapies that may be helpful: The concentration of vitamin E has been found to be low in the joint fluid of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis.
This reduction in vitamin E levels is believed to be caused by utilization of the vitamin during the inflammatory process. In a double-blind study, approximately 1,800 IU per day of vitamin E was found to have a beneficial effect in people with RA. Two other double-blind studies using similar high levels of vitamin E reported that vitamin E appeared to have approximately the same effectiveness as anti-inflammatory drugs used to treat RA.
