Bromelain General:
- Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that can modify prostaglandins (Med Hypoth 1980;6:99-104) and augment the action of natural tissue proteases at the site of injuries (Hiroshima J Med Sci 1975;24:185-193). The resolution of the inflammatory process requires the degradation of inflammatory proteins, fibrin and cell debris in order to restore normal circulation and facilitate tissue repair (Phys Med Rehab 1987;1:523-536).
- Administered orally on an empty stomach, bromelain is absorbed into the bloodstream in amounts effective for the resolution of inflammation (Am J Physiol 1997;273:G139-46, Jpn J Pharmacol 1972;22:519-34)
- The consensus of medical opinion suggests that orally-administered bromelain exerts a salutary effect on recovery and healing in cases of inflammation, injuries and tissue traumas of various kinds, including post-operative problems (Altern Med Rev 1996;1:243-57, Hiroshima J Med Sci 1975;24:185-193).
- Bromelain, taken with meals, acts as a protease, enhancing the release of short peptides and amino acids from food proteins.
BromInj Specific: Anti-inflammatory formula designed to facilitate injury healing.
- BromInj supplies a complex of protease with nutrients and other factors known to modulate the metabolism of prostanoids in a manner that favors the resolution of inflammation.
- Curcumin, a plant pigment derived from tumeric, reduced edema and wound tenderness in a controlled study of surgery patients (Int J Clin Pharmacol Ther. Toxicol 1986:24;651-54).
- Bioflavonoids and vitamin C have been used clinically to effectively reduce recovery time in injured athletes (Med Times 1962;90:529-32, Med Times 1960;88:313-314).
- Willow bark is a natural source of salicylates and other compounds possessing analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects (J Agric Food Chem 1999;47:3954-62; Planta Med 1990;56:660; The Merck Index 1996, 1432), and has been judged to have fewer side effects than acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) (German Commission E 1998, 230).
- Willow bark provides naturally-occurring salicylates, which inhibit the catabolism of tryptophan in the blood; these actions enhance the delivery of tryptophan to the brain and increase serotonin synthesis, which is required for normal mood.
Natural sources, hypoallergenic.
