Pain, swelling, redness and heat are natural healing reactions to injury. But when inflammation is chronic it can limit our flexibility/mobility and possibly cause loss of function. Inflammation is also more insidious and dangerous than painful joints. Increased biomarkers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein, immunoglobulins (IgG, IgE, IgA, IgM), fibrin activation/fibrosis and amyloid production/deposition are associated with increased mortality. Not good. We’d like to tell you about several excellent products that have all been proven in clinical studies to support and balance the body’s natural inflammation response.

Wobenzym N

Enzymes are complex proteins which induce chemical changes in other substances without being changed themselves. They accelerate the speed of millions of chemical reactions in our bodies. Wobenzym N is an enzyme formula that has been used with great success in Germany for over 40 years. It is a combination of proteolytic enzymes which help maintain the balance (homeostasis) between the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory proteins that make up our innate healing response. Rather than stop inflammation, Wobenzym helps restore normal inflammatory function, removing harmful substances thereby allowing the healing process to proceed.

Wobenzym is enteric coated to assure optimal absorption and utilization to help you get relief from aches and pains and increased flexibility/mobility. It works holistically throughout the body to support muscles, bones, joints and tendons as well as circulatory, lymphatic, cardiac, neurological, endocrinological, reproductive, hepatic, renal and other tissues. In addition, Wobenzyme’s immunomodulating influence may be beneficial for autoimmune conditions.

CurcuminRich

CurcuminRich by Natural Factors contains Theracurmin, a patented, water-dispersible form of the yellow pigment found in turmeric. Theracurmin enhances bioavailability, increasing absorption and blood levels of curcumin. It is over 27 times more bioavailable than standard curcumin extracts which makes this powerful antioxidant superb at supporting the body’s natural inflammatory response. In addition to maintaining joint and heart health, healthy liver function and the body’s natural detoxification processes it can also provide pain relief due to occasional overuse and even endurance exercise.

Curamin

Europharma’s Curamin is one of many effective formulas by Terry Naturally. It contains BCM-95, a unique form of curcumin that is up to 10 times stronger than plain curcumin. It also has another unique botanical, BosPure, which is boswellia without the naturally occurring pro-inflammatory compounds. In addition to these two powerhouse anti-inflammatory herbs, Curamin also has DL-phenylalanine (DLPA), an amino acid that is effective in controlling pain, plus the enzyme nattokinase to enhance circulation and balance fibrinogen levels thus helping to decrease muscle pain.

Zyflamend Whole Body

Finally, New Chapter’s Zyflamend is a combination of whole-food antioxidants (rosemary, turmeric, ginger, holy basil, green tea, hu zhang, Chinese goldthread, barberry, oregano and Chinese skullcap) that can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation thereby enhancing the health of tissues such as the joints, heart, lungs, immune system, breasts, prostate and skin.

Remember, inflammation is a normal, natural process affecting every one of our cells. The key is to keep it all in balance. At Evergreen Nutrition we have what it takes to help you achieve enhanced health and well-being. Take a look and see what we’ve got for you.
