Godong Ijo (green leaf extract) isn't something that has come up specifically in RA research or among myRAteam members, so it's hard to speak to its side effects directly. That said, it's always worth checking in with a rheumatologist before continuing any supplement, especially after major surgeries like elbow replacements.
Some natural supplements that *have* been discussed by myRAteam members for RA inflammation include:
- Fish oil (omega-3s) – One myRAteam member shared, "I find that the fish oil really helps with managing my flare-ups."
- Turmeric/curcumin – A myRAteam member noted, "I take turmeric tablets and it has helped me. It numbs the pain and makes life a bit more bearable."
- Boswellia (frankincense) – One myRAteam member wrote, "I take Boswellia and turmeric/ginger — it does wonders."
- Capsaicin – Applied topically, it may help block pain signals.
It's great that you're not experiencing side effects so far! However, some supplements can interact with RA medications like DMARDs or biologics, so a quick conversation with your doctor about Godong Ijo specifically would be a smart move.
