Fibromyalgia is more common than you think. It’s a chronic pain condition that can be quite terrible for people. In a strange way, fibromyalgia is in the brain, but not in the sense that you’d need a psychiatrist or psychiatric-type medications to help.† 

Details on fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is probably the most common chronic pain syndrome. You may have pain in specific areas or it might be more generalized. It’s an aching kind of pain. It’s estimated that over 5 million Americans are suffering from this issue, the lion’s share of which are women. They can experience stiffness and pain in their muscles, ligaments and tendons. The pain can occur anywhere in the body.† 

These people are also fatigued and drained of energy, which can impact their ability to sleep, focus and have conversations. Many of these people also experience headaches like tension headaches or migraines. They may also have intestinal issues such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), where they have constipation, diarrhea, gassiness, bloating and more.†

Sometimes, really minor things can set off pain in someone with this issue. They may have a sensitivity to noise, strong odors, certain foods, flashing lights, bright lights and even strong breezes.†

Nutrients that can help

One thing you want to help with issues related to fibromyalgia is curcumin. At the end of your nerves, there is a neurotransmitter called Substance P that stimulates the pain receptors in your body. This is normally elevated in people with fibromyalgia. Curcumin and other ingredients in turmeric have been shown in human clinical trials to reduce Substance P release at the nerve ending. Well-absorbed curcumins like our Curcumin Blend or Bio-Curcumin 5-Loxin can help support people with fibromyalgia.†

Studies have also found that people with fibromyalgia are commonly low in the mineral magnesium, as well as Vitamin D. Supplementing with these nutrients can be beneficial for people with this issue.†

Just over a decade ago, researchers in Japan were studying the effects of vinegar. An interesting finding came out of this study and it was that vinegar could potentially help to burn fat, thus functioning as a weight loss agent. This is an interesting way to think about vinegar apart from a salad dressing or an alternative cleaning agent. What we now know is that apple cider vinegar has a really unique way of promoting thermogenesis, which is natural fat burning.†

Research on the benefits of vinegar

People are always looking for different ways to burn fat. The researchers in Japan said that vinegar may be a natural fat fighter. They found that when they were utilizing vinegar, they were starting to see that it was helping people by preventing additional weight gain. They were looking at people’s weight, percentage body fat and Body Mass Index (BMI).† 

In the journal of MedGenMed in 2006, there was a study that came across another interesting finding with vinegar. They found that it had these anti-glycemic effects, which means it was more in terms of the regulation of blood glucose. Though there are many different types of vinegar, we certainly know that apple cider vinegar really seems to have this heightened amount of medicinal benefits.†

What makes apple cider vinegar special?

Across the board, when we’re looking at cholesterol, weight and gastrointestinal health, apple cider vinegar has been shown to be very beneficial, especially in the setting of the microbiome. Whenever we can control our microbial environment, this will also help to support our weight. Apple cider vinegar has also been looked at for cardiovascular health and blood pressure.† 

In that same study from 2006, the researchers looked at how apple cider vinegar could help to regulate blood glucose levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity. This helps create a more balanced blood sugar, helping to prevent spikes in blood glucose. One of the things that we know about weight gain is that it is often paired with insulin resistance, so people who are struggling to lose weight generally have elevated cortisol, elevated insulin and erratic glucose levels. Cortisol coming from adrenals then gets stored as fat, so you may be trying different things to burn fat, but if you’re having this dysregulation because of glucose and insulin, you’re always going to be struggling. We know now that vinegar helps to modulate this.†
