According to study by Azerbaijan’s Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, shows that sesame seed supplementation can significantly improve clinical signs and symptoms of patients with knee osteoarthritis.

“A two month study showed that eating 4 tablespoons of Sesame Seeds (about 40 grams) was superior to 1000 mg of Tylenol for knee arthritis.” – With none of the adverse side effects, (like liver and kidney damage, asthma, heart attack, internal bleeding or death.)

Traditional treatments for osteoarthritis involve NSAID medications, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen medications (Tylenol). However, these drugs do have risks and can trigger liver problems and so much more.

Tylenol is a common over-the-counter pain killer. Another trade name for it is Panadol. The non-proprietary name used in the US is acetaminophen, while the name paracetamol is used elsewhere in the world.

Sesame seeds are rich in minerals so they undoubtedly have health benefits. Sesame seeds an excellent source of copper and a very good source of manganese, but they are also a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc, molybdenum, selenium, and dietary fiber.
