People usually do not realize that their human body has it's own unique anti-inflammatory substances that it utilizes to control inflammation. This self contained system that our human body utilizes to curb inflammation is sustained by a critical nutrient-- omega 3 fatty acid . ( Most medical doctors apparently have forgotten this fact). If omega 3 fatty acids are insufficient in the food we eat, which they are for all Westerners then your body will not have the raw material that it requires to create it's own anti-inflammatory chemicals. Consequently inflammed articulations continue to be inflammed and painful. However when you supply these important omega 3's by consuming a fish oil product, the body system starts producing it's own anti-inflammatory compounds again and the pain and inflammation vanish.
