Is Cod Liver Oil good for Painful Hands & Joints?
Posted on | July 12, 2010 |
I have really painful hands and joints that stiffen when I don’t use them. I also have really dry eyes and my vision is impared. Does any one know if cod liver oil can help with this problem.
I don’t have Arthritis or Rheumatoid arthritis. My ANA has come back negative. Other blood work comes back showing inflamation (as if I didn’t know that already). I’ve tried Anti-inflammatories and I don’t want ANOTHER steriod jab, as they make me bloated and gain weight which I find hard to lose.
I’ve tried putting them in cold and the hot water, which helps a little but the relief doesn’t last long. I’ve also tries homeopathy remedies.
I was diagnosed with SLE (Lupus) in 2000, but later the doctors decided that I did not have Lupus and my conditions was probably Fibromyalgia.
I am in so much pain and I can’t do anything because my hands hurt so much. I would really appreciate some imput.

Not directly, no.
Cod Liver Oil is primarily beneficial for healthy bones, skin, vision, cardiovascular function and brain health. However, there are some people that get some minor benefits for joint health, mostly because the nutrients that help skin have a small percentage of people that also get benefits for the joints.
If you’re looking for products for joint health, the most popular ones I’ve found are Microlactin, Hyaluronic Acid, Tart Cherry Extract, Litozin (Danish Rose Hips), Glucosamin, Chondroitin, MSM, and Avovida (a combination of avocado and soy). Most of them are very economical and are very beneficial… our customers order them on a very regular basis. Most people get benefit from one or more of these ingredients within anywhere from a week to a couple months, depending on how long it takes for the supplement to get into their joints.
The only thing you’d have to worry about on any of these aside from allergic reactions is that the Microlactin is from milk and the Glucosamin is typically from Shellfish (those are the most common allergens).
