We examined how curcumin-mediated photodynamic therapy (CUR-PDT) induces a specific type of cell death called ferroptosis in fibroblast-like synoviocytes from rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Using a rat model, we monitored joint swelling and inflammation while analyzing key proteins involved in this process. The results indicated that CUR-PDT successfully reduces harmful cell growth and inflammation in RA cells by targeting the Nrf2-xCT-GPX4 pathway.
This finding emphasizes the potential of CUR-PDT as a treatment strategy in managing rheumatoid arthritis.

We explored the impact of iron accumulation in multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions using advanced MRI techniques. Tracking 50 participants over an average of 3.3 years, we observed that iron deposits, identified as hyper-paramagnetic signals (HPS), closely linked with impaired remyelination and greater disability. Specifically, lesions with early signs of HPS showed a significant decline in myelin recovery compared to those without such deposits. These findings suggest that measuring iron levels could guide therapies aimed at enhancing myelin repair in MS patients.

Ferroportin regulates RA cell activity
We aimed to understand how iron affects autoimmune disorders, specifically focusing on rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our study explored the function of ferroportin (FPN), a membrane iron transporter, in the proliferation and movement of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) linked to RA.
We found that FPN levels were significantly lower in RA tissues compared to normal tissues, hinting at a potential connection between iron metabolism and the disease. By conducting a series of assays, we demonstrated that increased FPN expression leads to a slowdown in FLS growth and migration. This effect seems to be mediated through the suppression of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and is accompanied by elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
These findings suggest that ferroportin might play a crucial role in the development of RA by regulating iron levels in FLS. This insight opens new avenues for potential treatments targeting iron dysregulation to help alleviate joint damage in RA patients.

Increased haemoglobin

I have suffered from low haemoglobin and ferritin for ages. After struggling with ineffective medications, I found this iron supplement and raised my haemoglobin from 100 to 125 and ferritin from 3 to 18 in 1.5 months. I will order more as the results are encouraging, and the price is reasonable.

I trusted this well-known brand during pregnancy, and it increased my haemoglobin levels. There wasn’t a sudden spike, but it has been a steady rise, which takes time but is comforting.

Increased ferritin levels

This product really works! Previously, no iron supplements had helped, but Solgar has given me hope. Within a month, my ferritin increased by 14 units, and my iron level rose by 10. I was overjoyed with the results and will be ordering more soon. I take the pills with vitamin C for better absorption.

I bought this for my mother, who had low haemoglobin below 100. After three months of taking 1 tablet daily with folic acid and vitamin C, her haemoglobin reached 140! I couldn't believe the transformation; the drug genuinely works!
