Boswellin®
& Curcuminoids support normal joint function and lubrication.
They work very synergistically as anti-inflammatory agents
with many other significant positive benefits including:
powerful antioxidant action, liver protectant, anti-artherosclerotic,
analgesic (pain relief), anti-parasitic (viral, fungus,
bacterial). Boswellin® is an extract from
the gum resin of Boswellia serrata, containing 70% total
organic acids which have been shown to help promote normal
joint function, flexibility and comfort. Curcuminoids are
derived from a standardized extract of turmeric root (95%
Curcuminoids C3 Complex®) which are known
to both prevent the formation of free radicals and to neutralize
existing free radicals, making them dual-action “bio-protectants”.
Boswellin and Curcuminoids have been shown scientifically
to be very ant-inflammatory.

Boswellin® (Boswellia serrata extract)
Boswellin®
is a standardized extract from the gum resin of Boswellia
serrata, containing 70% organic acids which help to maintain
healthy function of the joints. Clinical trials have revealed
the efficacy of boswellic acids supplementation in promoting
joint health and lubrication. Volunteers participating in
these trials reported marked improvement in physical performance,
without any associated untoward side effects1.
Boswellin® has its own unique site of action
to prevent side effects. The primary site of action of this
compound is the inhibition of the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme,
preventing the formation of inflammatory leukotrienes2.

Curcumin C3 Complex®
Recent research has revealed
that free radicals play an important role in the progression
of aging and related conditions. Curcumin C3 Complex®
,a unique composition of the curcuminoids - curcumin, demethoxycurcumin,
bisdemethoxycurcumin - is a standardized extract from turmeric,
or Curcuma longa. The product contains a minimum of 95%
curcuminoids. Unlike other antioxidants, there are two particular
modes of antioxidant action of curcuminoids. The "prevention
mode" prevents the formation of free radicals. The
second mechanism, known as the "intervention mode",
neutralizes the already formed free radicals by the action
of free radical scavenging. Curcumin C3 Complex®
is therefore considered an effective "Bioprotectant"
due to its dual activity of prevention and intervention1.
