Curcumin
Curcumin, which is found in the spice turmeric, has anti-inflammatory properties that are said to be just as effective as pharmaceuticals. What's more, the supplement also effectively supports joint health and cardiovascular function.
Resveratrol
According to a study published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research, this extract found in red wine mitigates inflammation. As added bonuses, it's been found to regulate the immune system and even help ward off cancer.
Omega-3
Omega-3 fatty acids stop the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which triggers inflammation associated with diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other disorders.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
Alpha-Lipoic acid is a fatty acid produced in the body, which plays a key role in boosting metabolism and energy production. It's also been linked to reducing inflammation that causes unsightly belly bloat.
