Inflammation is the body’s natural response to infection, injury, and toxins, and while it can often be painful, it plays a vital role in your body’s healing process by activating the immune system to begin repairing damaged cells. When left unchecked, though, chronic inflammation can injure your tissues, joints, and blood vessels. “Acute inflammation is how the body fights infections and is not something that should be of concern,” explains registered dietitian Mia Syn. “But when chronic inflammation occurs, the immune system fights indefinitely.”

Those who suffer from the latter may experience negative effects such as widespread pain, joint swelling, and skin irritation. The good news? Taking certain vitamins every day can actively help reduce acute and chronic inflammation, as well as improve your overall health. To better understand these supplements and their benefits, we spoke to leading nutritionists. Ahead, their insights and vitamin recommendations to fight inflammation daily.
