WHAT’S IN IT AND WHY
Turmeric (Curcumin)
Curcumin is powerful natural anti-inflammatory and is known to be a potent inhibitor of NF- κB, COX-2, LOX as well as many other enzymes within the inflammatory pathway. While some manufacturers use unstandardized turmeric with fluctuating levels of curcumin, Traumeric includes 660 mg of standardized turmeric, guaranteed to contain 95% curcumin.
Bromelain and Rutin
Commercial preparations of bromelain and rutin have been used in Germany and Eastern European countries for post-operative surgery, sports injuries, prostatitis, arthritis and cancer-related therapies for decades. It should be noted that these preparations should be taken on an empty stomach to promoteas much intact absorption of enzymes without loss of activity due to food digestion.
Quercitin
Quercitin inhibits the inflammatory enzymes phospholipase A2,COX-2 and 5-LOX. Quercetin and other related bioflavonoids are used regularly in acute and chronic inflammatory conditions, and may be especially helpful in injury related conditions due to their beneficial affects on extra-cellular tissue repair and capillary permeability.
