白藜蘆醇對關節炎及類風溼的作用

以膝關節為主的風濕性關節炎，發病率會高達85%，也就是說幾乎所有的人都會在其一生中飽受關節疼痛的困擾。長期以來對於風濕性關節炎的治療和預防的研究進展緩慢，但是卻搞清楚了關節炎跟關節組織中的某些細胞因子（如TNF-α，LT-α等）的濃度過高有關。

當攝取白藜蘆醇後，不管是已經有幾十年膝關節炎還是幾天前剛患的肩周炎，疼痛都會獲得緩解。

這是為什麼呢？這是因為白藜蘆醇可以在短短幾天內將血清中的炎症因子TNF-α，LT-α等的濃度降低到正常值。

而長期服用白藜蘆醇，受損關節會得到全面康復，這跟白藜蘆醇擁有抑制滑膜細胞異常增生（類風濕關節炎）、促進軟骨細胞重新修復的能力有關，也就是說長期服用白藜蘆醇是可以讓受損關節得到全面修復的。
