I am often asked about the difference between osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Today, I want to break that down for you so you have a better understanding. At the end of the day, we know that inflammation is associated with both of those, so I want to really differentiate between what is OA and what is RA.†
Inflammation, autoimmune conditions and arthritis
When it comes to osteoarthritis, we know that this is the most common form of arthritis. This generally affects your more weight-bearing joints, as well as the hands. But this is where the confusion lies in the overlapping of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.†
For many years, people thought that rheumatoid arthritis was just an autoimmune condition. We know that this is our immune system attacking the joint spaces. But we now recognize that osteoarthritis also has this autoimmune component to it. We have to think about inflammation in general and in this case, our immune system can be driving that.†
Supporting the health of the joints
When we think about the joints, we have to think about what can exacerbate our issues there. Different activities throughout our lives can create more wear and tear. This can impact both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. We also have to look at diet. If we’re eating a pro-inflammatory diet, then that’s not going to be helping our joints in any way. That can exacerbate the inflammatory processes. Age and weight also play a factor in arthritis.†
We know that for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, the main focus needs to be targeting inflammation and maintaining stability within the immune system. This is why different nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids, that help to target inflammation are so important.†
Vitamin D can also play a role. Research has shown that if someone is insufficient or deficient in this vitamin, this is a problem and impacts pain. Vitamin D also plays a really important role in our immune system, so for anyone who has RA, having your serum Vitamin D levels is essential.†
We want to be able to target pro-inflammatory cytokines and help downregulate this. We can look at things such as curcumin extract, boswellia extract and green tea extract. These have all been shown to be highly effective in targeting both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.†

Calcium is well-known as being beneficial to bone, but it also affects many other parts of the body. Inadequate levels of this mineral can lead to fatigue and muscle spasms. It can also impact your mood, nails and skin.†
Signs of a deficiency
When you don’t consume enough calcium, whether it’s from food or supplements, it’s going to cause muscle spasms. This nutrient works at the cellular level within the muscle to allow it to contract properly during physical activity. One of the reasons you may develop muscle fatigue or spasms after exercise is that you have pumped the calcium out of your muscles. This can also be accompanied by issues within your joints. Take some calcium and Vitamin D after extreme exercise to help replenish the nutrients in your muscles.†

Low levels of this mineral can also impact heart health, energy levels and sleep. You may also experience lightheadedness, dizziness and brain fog.†
Getting sufficient amounts of calcium
If you get enough calcium, this can benefit your blood pressure. Studies have shown that getting sufficient levels of this mineral from the diet can help lower elevated blood pressure. Adequate amounts of calcium are also important for bone health. You also need enough sleep for bone health, as well as other nutrients such as strontium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, phosphorus and magnesium.†
This mineral is also important for your teeth. When other parts of your body lack calcium, they pull it from your teeth, which can lead to brittle teeth, tooth decay and gum issues. You can also develop dry skin, eczema, dry nails, coarse hair and hair loss.†
