Living with an autoimmune disease often feels like trying to solve a difficult puzzle, but Penelope Morgan, a nutritionist, has found important vitamins that could naturally help control symptoms. Although no supplement can treat autoimmune illnesses, several nutrients have potential to help immunological control and lower inflammation.
Penelope’s regimen calls for vitamin D as a major actor. Studies point to approximately eighty percent of autoimmune sufferers lacking this immune-modulating vitamin. Penelope advises getting levels checked and then adjusting, usually with 2,000–5,000 IU daily D3 mixed with K2 for best absorption.
Still another pillar of her method are omega-3 fatty acids. High-quality fish oil (2-3g daily mixed EPA/DHA) has anti-inflammatory qualities that could help control the hyperactive immune response linked with autoimmune diseases. Penelope stresses especially the increased absorption of triglyceride-form fish oils.
Penelope advises focused probiotics like Saccharomyces boulardii and soil-based organisms for gut health, which is becoming understood as vital in autoimmune control. These might restore the intestinal barrier and lower the “leaky gut” sometimes linked with autoimmune flares.
Penelope’s list for strong anti-inflammatory action includes turmeric’s active component curcumin. To increase absorption by up to 2,000%, she counsels searching for formulations improved with piperine, black pepper extract.
Penelope adds that supplements should complement rather than replace medical treatment even if they show promise. Working with a functional medicine practitioner, she counsels customising supplement programs depending on specific requirements and existing prescriptions.
