Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils are well documented in the scientific literature to have anti-inflammatory effects. They impact the same biochemical pathways in the body that NSAIDs like Motrin and Advil do.
The proper forms of Vitamin E also have powerful anti-inflammatory actions. This will take a little explanation. Naturally occurring vitamin E in the diet actually consists of eight similar but different molecules - alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocopherols and alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocotrienols.
Most vitamin supplements contain only one of the eight, alpha-tocopherol, which only has a mild anti-inflammatory effect. Most 'cheap' supplements contain synthetic alpha-tocopherol which has NO anti-inflammatory action.
The gamma-tocopherol form (and some of the other eight forms) have powerful anti-inflammatory actions - but this form is only found in top quality vitamin E supplements sold as 'mixed tocopherols'.
It is important to appreciate that the high doses of alpha-tocopherol or synthetic alpha-tocopherol that many people take can actually reduce the body's blood levels of the other tocopherols (from the diet), especially the anti-inflammatory gamma-tocopherol.
Boy, I hope that wasn't too complicated for you to follow. In summary, 'mixed tocopherols' and 'tocotrienols' are good anti-inflammatory supplements. In fact, recent reports by medical researchers suggest they are better (and safer) than commonly prescribed NSAIDs.
Fish oil supplements also have a major anti-inflammatory action.
Best wishes and good luck.

i'm uncertain that anti-bacterial ingredients exist....on no account heard of that. Are you questioning anti-OXIDANT? if so, Antioxidants are got here upon certainly in various quantities, in vegetables, end result, grain cereals, legumes, nuts and so on. Antioxidant sources [33] incorporate: * end result: berries and peppers, cider, wine * vegetables: spinach, tea * Fungi: mushrooms * finished grain cereals: hops, barley, millet and maize (inclusive of beer) * Nuts: pecans, pistachios, and almonds [34] * Beans: cacao (inclusive of chocolate), coffee And Erok247 is thoroughly precise---Yogurt is crammed with bacteria---the stable style! Like many stuff (i.e. fat) there are the two stable and undesirable bacteria.
