Inflammation Control
The body’s ability to maintain a natural balance of enzymes such as cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX-1 and COX-2) that regulate inflammatory physiological response mechanisms is critical to the health of the entire body. In fact, this metabolic process appears to play a crucial role in supporting cardiovascular, immune, neurological, and joint and connective tissue systems. Each of the herbal extracts included in Inflammation Control™ contain multiple, beneficial compounds and have documented ability to help modulate COX enzymes, scavenge free radicals, and promote physiological balance.

INGREDIENT ACTIONS
Turmeric Root Extract, min. 95% curcuminoids: Inhibits proinflammatory enzymes in arachidonic acid cascade; general antioxidant and nitric oxide scavenger; supports platelet function. Curcumin is the yellow pigment in the spice, turmeric. It has long been used as an herbal medicine, a seasoning & a dye in India & Southeast Asia. It is used in Ayurvedic Medicine. Findings have demonstrated curcumin: - Exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting leukotriene formation (an inflammation causing chemical in the body.) inhibiting platelet clumping, & prompting the dissolution of clots.)
- Has exhibited potent antioxidant activities.
- May protect against environmental carcinogens, especially cigarette smoke.
- Has anti-inflammatory effects which may partially be related to making more cortisol available from the adrenal gland or improving responsiveness to cortisol.
- Combined with soy may help prevent hormone-related cancers.
- In animal studies exhibits antimutagenic & anticarcinogenic properties.
- Affects bile output from the gallbladder.
