Of course, there are also conditions directly characterized by inflammation, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), arthritis and gout ( 10, 11, 12).

For other conditions, sufficient studies to determine effective doses are unavailable. In addition, devil’s claw has only been used for up to one year in studies. However, devil’s claw appears to be safe for most people in doses up to 2,610 mg per day ( 29). For example, a study in mice showed that harpagoside significantly suppressed the action of cytokines, which are molecules in your body known to promote inflammation ( 14). Keep in mind that certain conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney stones and stomach ulcers, may increase your risk of adverse effects when taking devil’s claw.Diabetes: Devil’s claw may reduce blood sugar levels and intensify the effects of diabetes medications. More high-quality studies are needed, but current research suggests that devil’s claw may be effective at reducing pain associated with osteoarthritis. For example, one clinical study involving 122 people with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip suggested that 2,610 mg of devil’s claw daily may be as effective at reducing osteoarthritis pain as diacerein, a medication commonly used to treat this condition ( 17). Im using Equipalizone, just one a day long term currently but thinking of upping it. Farrier is saying up it, do a trial and see if it makes him more comfotable. I am happy to try this. But thinking longer term. Vet has said i could give 2 if needed. Devil’s claw has been proposed as a potential remedy for inflammatory conditions because it contains plant compounds called iridoid glycosides, particularly harpagoside. In test-tube and animal studies, harpagoside has curbed inflammatory responses ( 13).

Reported side effects are mild, the most common being diarrhea. Rarer adverse effects include allergic reactions, headache and coughing ( 30).In addition, a supplement called AINAT has been used as a remedy for osteoporosis. AINAT contains 300 mg of devil’s claw, as well as 200 mg of turmeric and 150 mg of bromelain — two other plant extracts believed to have anti-inflammatory effects ( 18). Similarly, a 2-month study in 42 individuals with chronic osteoarthritis found that supplementing daily with devil’s claw in combination with turmeric and bromelain, which are thought to have anti-inflammatory effects as well, reduced pain by an average 46% ( 18). Summary Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting over 30 million adults in the US ( 15). Gallstones: Use of devil’s claw may increase the formation of bile and make problems worse for those with gallstones.
