Rheumatoid Arthritis and DHA: A Plant-Based Way to Reduce Inflammation and Flare-Ups

Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Complex Autoimmune Condition
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) isn't caused by injury or overuse. It's a chronic autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of joints - causing persistent inflammation, swelling and pain.
RA often affects both sides of the body and may lead to long-term joint damage, fatigue, and even impacts on the heart and lungs. There is no cure, but there are ways to manage the condition - and reduce inflammation naturally.
The Inflammation Challenge
RA begins with a preclinical phase: low-grade inflammation that quietly damages the joints for years before symptoms appear. Once the symptoms emerge, patients are often prescribed:
- DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs)
- NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
- Steroids
While these can help reduce pain and disease progression, they often come with unwanted side effects - from digestive issues to immune suppression.
DHA: The Anti-Inflammatory That Supports, Not Suppresses
DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) is a powerful omega-3 fatty acid that can help regulate inflammation and immune function. Unlike medications that suppress your immune system, DHA helps restore immune balance - making it ideal for managing autoimmune conditions like RA.
Research shows DHA can:
- Reduce joint pain and stiffness
- Lower inflammatory markers (e.g. CRP, ESR)
- Improve response to medications like DMARDs
- Help achieve and maintain remission
Dosage Matters: Why Most Supplements Fall Short
Most fish oil capsules offer only a few hundred milligrams of DHA - far below the amount used in clinical studies. The real benefits come from therapeutic doses of 1-2 grams of DHA per day.
That's the level of DHA available in SoSwell - 1 scoops equals 1 gram of high potency DHA.
SoSwell: Targeted support for people with RA
SoSwell delivers:
- 1 gram of high-purity DHA per serve / scoop from algae (not fish)
- Zeaxanthin, a natural plant pigment antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress
- No fish or fillers - just clean, vegan support
In SoSwell's early trial, many participants with RA reported reduced joint pain, fewer flare-ups and greater mobility - without any of the side effects of pharmaceuticals.
Why It Matters.
RA affects about 2% of Australians and often appears between ages 30 and 60. It can be physically and emotionally exhausting - especially during flare-ups. Managing inflammation is key to slowing progression and improving quality of life.
SoSwell gives people with RA a natural tool to manage inflammation - working alongside medical treatments or as a plant-based alternative for those seeking drug-free options.
