Phytoprofen

Botanical extracts to support a healthy cytokine balance in the body*

• with well-absorbed Meriva® (curcumin bound to phosphatidylcholine to make a phytosome)*
• helps minimize post-operative / post-injury bruising and swelling*
• helps prevent connective tissue breakdown*
• can be used in conjunction with Meriva to promote healing*

Phytoprofen is a combination of botanicals, including a synergistic blend of the Ayurvedic herbs – ginger, Boswellia, and curcumin (from turmeric) – all of which support a healthy cytokine balance in the body.* To these botanicals is added bromelain – a protein-digesting enzyme complex from pineapple that studies have shown can reduce bruising after injury.*

The botanical extracts in Phytoprofen also can minimize post-operative / post-injury bruising and swelling.* Supplementation with bromelain following blunt injuries to the musculoskeletal system resulted in reductions in swelling and tenderness.

A recent in vivo study examined Boswellia extract for its effect on glycosaminoglycan metabolism. Glycosaminoglycans form an important component of the bodys connective tissues. Boswellia significantly reduced the degradation of glycosaminoglycans compared to controls.*

Meriva®, curcumin phytosome, demonstrates superior bioavailability compared to ordinary curcumin.* Significantly greater amounts are absorbed and taken up by the liver.*
