5-Loxin 75 Mg

Product Description

As people age, systemic inflammation can inflict degenerative effects throughout the body.1-5 A primary cause of this destructive cascade is the production of cell-signaling chemicals known as inflammatory cytokines. Along with these dangerous cytokines, imbalances of hormone-like messengers called prostaglandins & leukotrienes also contribute to inflammatory processes.6-8 The typical American diet is loaded with foods that contain arachidonic acid (like egg yolk, red meat, poultry, & dairy products) or stimulate the production of excess arachidonic acid in the body (foods rich in high-glycemic carbohydrates, saturated fats, & omega-6 fatty acids). Scientific studies show that excess arachidonic acid increases levels of the 5-lipoxy-genase (5-LOX) enzyme, which can induce undesirable effects in cells. This may result in the excess accumulation of leukotriene B4, a pro-inflammatory compound that attacks the joints, the arterial wall, & other tissues. In India, extracts from the Boswellia plant have been used for centuries as fluid-balancing agents.71 Human studies have confirmed that a specific Boswellia extract known as AKBA (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-&223;-boswellic acid) selectively inhibits 5-LOX.72 Unlike other boswellic acids that only partially inhibit 5-LOX, 72, 73 AKBA binds directly to 5-LOX, effectively suppressing its pro-inflammatory activity. A recent study indicated that 5-LOXIN&174; may exert its beneficial effects by controlling inflammatory responses through reducing pro-inflammatory modulators, & it may improve joint health by reducing the enzymatic degradation of cartilage. A 90-day, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study demonstrated 5-LOXIN&174; reduces joint discomfort & improves physical functioning significantly in human subjects.74 References Supplement Facts Serving Size 1 capsule Servings Per Container 100 Amount Per Serving 5-LOXIN&174; [std. for acetyl-11- keto-&223;-boswellic acid (AKBA) minimum 30% on dried basis (22.5 mg)] 75 mg Other ingredients: dicalcium phosphate, vegetable cellulose (capsule), rice flour, vegetable stearate, silica.
