Prebiotic Supplements Show Potential in Relieving Knee Arthritis Pain
Recent research published in Nutrients suggests that prebiotic supplements may help alleviate knee arthritis pain. The study involved a six-week clinical trial with 117 adults suffering from knee osteoarthritis, divided into groups receiving prebiotic supplements, digital physiotherapy-supported exercise, both, or a placebo. Results indicated that those taking prebiotics experienced improved grip strength and reduced pain. Experts like Melissa Prest from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and Karena Wu, a clinical specialist in orthopedic physical therapy, highlight the role of gut health in managing inflammation and pain, suggesting that prebiotics could complement traditional arthritis treatments.
