Sea Moss for Polymyalgia Rheumatica: Anti-Inflammatory, Corticosteroid Support & IL-6 Modulation

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) affects people over 50 with sudden bilateral shoulder and hip girdle pain driven by IL-6 overproduction and giant cell arteritis risk. Corticosteroids (prednisone) are first-line but cause bone loss, diabetes, and immune suppression with long-term use. Sea moss fucoidan modulates IL-6 signaling - the primary cytokine in PMR; calcium and vitamin D precursors in sea moss support bone density during steroid therapy; magnesium counters steroid-induced glucose dysregulation. This guide covers the IL-6 pathway, PMR vs. giant cell arteritis distinction, and sea moss as supportive nutrition during corticosteroid tapering.
