BoswelliaSerrata Extract

In several studies these boswellic acids have been found to have anti-inflammatory activity. It acts to modulate the pro-inflammatory enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). 5-LOX is the first enzyme released in the cytokine metabolic pathway.*

Bromelain Extract

Bromelain is a group of enzymes extracted from the stem and fruit of the pineapple. The mechanism by which it works seems to be related to its constituents' ability to inhibit platelet aggregation and it may be able to alter leukocyte response and activation.*

Ginger Extract

Studies suggest that Ginger inhibits the synthesis of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, by inhibiting both the cyclo-oxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase enzymes. It also has antioxidant properties and contains protease enzymes, which may add to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Quercetin & Rutin

Quercetin and rutin are closely related antioxidants that naturally occur in many plants. Preliminary research indicates that quercetin may be effective in reducing inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory agents such as histamine, leukotrienes and prostaglandins, and it may slow COX-2 production.
