This active compound is found in Tripterygium wilfordii, also known as Tripterygium wilfordii.
Scientists at Osaka University in Japan have discovered a plant compound that blocks the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. This is stated in the journal Science Immunology.
Experts conducted an experiment on rats with rheumatoid arthritis. They inhibited the expression of a protein responsible for the development of the disease. This was done as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appeared in the experimental subjects.
After the development of the disease stopped, experts began to look for a substance to prevent its development.
Celastrol proved to be the most suitable.
“This active compound is found in Tripterygium wilfordii, also known as Tripterygium wilfordii, a plant from the Bereskletaceae family used in traditional Chinese medicine. Tripterygium is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, although the mechanism of action that this is not yet fully understood. The study showed that Celastrol blocks the antibodies from reacting and prevents the development of rheumatoid arthritis,” the scientists said.
According to them, celastrol could possibly be used for Crohn’s disease or type 1 diabetes.
We remind you, the former Briton Nick Chappelow suffered for 25 years from a rare and painful form of arthritis. He was saved by a nutritional supplement that proved to be an effective medicine.
