NUTRITIONAL AND HERBAL SUPPORT FOR THE REDUCTION OF PAIN AND INFLAMMATION†
BOSWELLIA (BOSWELLIA SERRATA) has been used in traditional Indian medicine for chronic rheumatic inflammation. Boswellic acids have been shown to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase, the enzyme in leukotriene biosynthesis. It is this property along with its ability to inhibit both the classical and alternative complement pathways that account for its anti-inflammatory properties.*
TURMERIC (CURCUMA LONGA), the yellow pigment from the plant Curcuma longa, has been used traditionally to treat sprains and inflammation. Studies show that turmeric inhibits leukotriene synthesis, platelet aggregation, and neutrophil inflammatory response; blocks activation of NF Kappa B; and promotes fibrinolysis. Turmeric may potentiate endogenous corticosteroids, thus having indirect anti-inflammatory actions as well. Turmeric was as effective as cortisone or phenylbutazone in models of acute inflammation, but only half as effective in chronic models. However, while phenylbutazone and cortisone are associated with significant toxicity, curcumin displayed virtually no toxicity.* |

BROMELAIN was introduced as a medicinal agent in 1957, and since that time over 400 scientific papers on its therapeutic applications have appeared. Bromelain has been reported in these studies to exert a wide variety of beneficial effects, including reducing inflammation in cases of joint disease, sports injury or trauma, and reducing swelling after trauma or surgery.*
Bromelain selectively stimulates the production of the anti-inflammatory prostaglandin E1 and inhibits the production of the pro-inflammatory prostaglandin E2.*
NOTE: Bromelain may promote the anticoagulant activity of such drugs as warfarin and aspirin.*
WHITE WILLOW BARK (SALIX ALBA) is traditionally used to treat pain. The efficacy of this botanical is due mainly to the proportion of salicin present. The salicin, which is a precursor to salicylic acid, works as an antipyretic, antiphlogistic and as an analgesic.*
BIOFLAVONOIDS have been shown to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, and vasoprotective actions. Hesperidin appears to inhibit phospholipase A2, lipoxygenase and cyclo-oxygenase inflammatory mediators as well as inhibit histamine release.*
GINGER (ZINGIBER OFFICINALE) inhibits platelet thromboxane formation, lipoxygenase, arachidonic acid metabolism, leukotriene and inflammatory prostaglandin production. Ginger has anti-inflammatory actions. In one small study consisting of 10 patients, complaining of chronic muscular pain and discomfort, ginger relieved the pain and swelling in 100% of the patients. These patients were evaluated for periods ranging from three months to two and a half years.*
ROSEMARY (ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS) has traditionally been recommended for muscular rheumatism. Rosemary also has antioxidant actions.*
