Vitamins, supplements and other remedies for arthritis

Currently I'm taking D-vitamin, B-12 vitamin, C-vitamin, MSM for my arthritis. To increase fertility I'm taking folic acid and Freyja. Freyja is herbal tablets which I bought in Iceland at Jurtaapótek

Another vitamins that have been recommending for RA are:

B-6 vitamin
B-5 vitamin
Calcium
Magnesium
Zinc
Alfafla
Cetyl myrist-oleat


My concern is do I have to take all these vitamins or is it possible for me to get enough from my food?

I always thought that antioxidants where for people who were trying to keep their youth. After I read more on the internet about RA, antioxidants seems to keep popping up. Therefore that's another thing that I'm wondering whether I should add to my growing vitamin cabin.

E-vitamin
C-vitamin
Beta-carotene 
Selenium

I don't know, it's sounds so overwhelming. I eat a lot of berries, almost every day. Is it necessary for my to take antioxidants vitamins?

When I lived in Iceland, I ate fish at least once a week. My goal was always to try to eat it at least three times a week, didn't always work. Sadly when I moved to USA I stopped eating fish. Partly because it's more expensive here than in Iceland but also I don't  know how to cook the fish they're selling here in NC. Therefore when I was living in Iceland I wasn't so worry about my omega-3. I also took fish oil so I was pretty sure I was getting some omega-3 in my body. Since I moved to USA I eat those seeds to get my omega-3

flax-seeds
chia-seeds

But I suspect that I'm not getting enough omega-3 which isn't good.

I found on an Icelandic website heilsa that they recommended this oil

náttljósaolíur (I have no idea what that is in English)

Is there any more vitamins or supplements that you think would benefit RA patient?

Vitamins, supplements and other remedies

 Vitamins and supplements
Currently I'm taking 

D-vitamin
B-12 vitamin
C-vitamin
MSM

for my arthritis

I don't eat fish after I moved to USA so I eat these seeds to get my omega-3. Sadly I don't think I'm getting enough. 

Flax-seeds
Chia-seeds 

Therefore I have thinking about buying some omega-3 pills. 


 Other remedies

I take long hot baths to ease the pain and pour a lot of 


sea-salt

in the bath. I find it helpful and it definitely helps with the psoriasis. I also use my wonder cream from Iceland called
 


from company called Villimey. I don't whether it's possible to buy it here in USA. That cream did wonders for my and it worked like painkillers for me. I rubbed it to my joints and it eased the pain. Best of all it's organic and made from Icelandic herbs. 

To keep the psoriasis patches off I use


dermovat - cream
Surprisingly the cream which I get from the doctors doesn't work nearly as well as the tea. I recommend the tea for everyone with psoriasis. Maybe it won't work for all people but when I drink this tea my patches go away. 
 

 
Fertility supplements

To increase fertility I'm taking

folic acid
Freyja

Freyja is herbal tablets which I bought in Iceland at Jurtaapótek.
Do you recommend any other vitamins, supplement or remedies. I would love to hear your opinion.
