As an active ingredient found in turmeric root, curcumin is a powerful anti-inflammatory best known for its ability to reduce discomfort, decrease stiffness, and increase range of motion in chronic pain conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The problem with curcumin is that it is poorly bioavailable in its natural form, which limits its potential as an effective health supplement. Fortunately, technological advances have provided solutions to overcome this bioavailability barrier. For example, a supercritical extraction process using carbon dioxide can provide the dried herb equivalent (DHE) of 1200 mg of curcumin in only 32 mg of material.
Proteolytic enzymes represent another class of clinically useful anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and fibrinolytic agents. Serrazymes are plant enzymes known to regulate the migration of immune cells to the site of injury and downregulate pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and interleukins. Their fibrinolytic activity is particularly useful in preventing scar tissue formation when prescribed synergistically with bromelain.
Bromelain is a naturally occurring enzyme from pineapple. Like proteolytic enzymes, bromelain is known to have anti-inflammatory actions, fibrinolytic activity, and analgesic effects through its action on bradykinin. Studies show that bromelain is effective in decreasing pain, swelling, and joint stiffness in people with osteoarthritis, with efficacy comparable to diclofenac. There is additional evidence of its effectiveness in the treatment of acute sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. These actions of bromelain are synergistic with those of quercetin, a flavonoid compound that is classically used for its antihistamine and anti-inflammatory action in allergic rhinitis and related conditions.
Inflammatrix is a fast-acting, acute anti-inflammatory complex. With a blend of highly concentrated and bioavailable curcumin, proteolytic enzymes, bromelain, and quercetin, Inflammatrix is indicated for a wide range of conditions such as strains, sprains, arthritis pain, sports injuries, post-operative healing, wound healing, and headaches. The addition of a concentrated bromelain and quercetin extract also makes Inflammatrix a good choice for sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. Simply put, Inflammatrix is a safe, effective, and natural alternative to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Available in bottles of 45 and 90 vegetarian capsules.
