Nutraceutical Supplementation in Patients with Autoimmune Diseases
A systematic review of 30 clinical trials involving 2,107 participants with autoimmune diseases found that supplementation with various nutraceuticals like curcumin and probiotics resulted in anti-inflammatory effects, improved disease activity, and decreased autoantibody levels.

Why it matters
These findings suggest that nutraceuticals may potentially influence autoimmune disease management, highlighting the need for further specific research in MS.
What this does not prove
The review does not establish the specific efficacy of individual nutraceuticals for MS due to insufficient focused studies on this condition.

findingsThe studies demonstrated anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory effects, as well as improvements in disease activity and clinical symptoms following supplementation with curcumin, probiotics, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, baicalin, resveratrol, and quercetin.
findingsAdditionally, reductions in autoantibody levels were observed after supplementation with curcumin, selenium, and genistein.
