Very simply, inflammation is the body’s natural response to an irritant. This could be a germ or other pathogen, a chemical, radiation, an injury or wound, or even a foreign body, like a splinter or fragment of glass.1 In every case, our immune system initiates any number of these five key inflammatory responses:
- Redness
- Heat
- Swelling
- Pain
- Loss of function
These may be uncomfortable symptoms, but they ultimately serve to help us heal as quickly as possible by guarding against and/or removing the irritant in question.
However, sometimes inflammation is unhelpful, particularly in cases where the immune system begins to fight against the body’s own healthy cells in error. This can lead to chronic inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis. As we learn more about the effects of chronic inflammation, research is revealing that there are also inflammatory causes and concerns in conditions that impact cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, nervous and immune system health. In fact, it’s estimated that 3 out of 5 people worldwide die due to a chronic inflammatory condition,2 and that means inflammation is a topic everyone needs to understand.
Thankfully, there are two key ingredients that offer proven, science backed relief from inflammatory states. They’re well-tolerated and have proven effective in clinical trials, and are coming close to being household names. In fact, you’ve probably already heard of them!
CURCUMIN
An active compound found in the exotic, bright yellow spice, turmeric, is one of the most robustly researched, natural, anti inflammatory supplements. This powerful constituent does its job in multiple ways, reducing key inflammatory enzymes, reducing the synthesis of pro-inflammatory mediators and regulating the expression of cytokines. In clinical trials, it’s been shown to have promising therapeutic effects on multiple inflammatory conditions, from autoimmune to cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous system conditions. But there’s one problem with curcumin – it has poor bioavailability, meaning that it’s not well-absorbed or utilised by the body. But there’s a way around that: in a specially patented process that reduces particle size and enhances absorption and solubility by up to 27 times, we can harness the full anti-inflammatory benefits of curcumin. The resulting compound, Theracurmin®, has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory effects for people with chronic conditions such as mild osteoarthritis and research is underway to help us understand its full potential.
PRO-RESOLVING MEDIATORS (PRMS) FROM FISH OIL
PRMs are molecules naturally found in fish oils. They play very specific roles in aiming to resolve inflammation in the body. By simultaneously switching off inflammatory responses, clearing cellular debris and promoting tissue repair, they help to restore the normal, healthy function of tissues. PRMs are found in fish oil, but unless the product has been standardised to contain specific amounts of them, you can never be quite sure what you’re going to get.
WHY IS THERACURMIN® INFLAMRESOLV A GAME-CHANGER?
Well, it combines fish oil, that’s standardised to 15 micrograms of PRMs per capsule, with a therapeutic dose of Theracurmin®. That means targeting inflammation through multiple pathways and offering comprehensive support for joint, brain and cardiovascular wellness. As a dual-action formula, Theracurmin® InflamResolv provides a truly wholistic approach to managing inflammation.
