Traumeric, 90
Why These Natural Ingredients?
Turmeric (Curcumin)
This orange-colored spice, used for thousands of years in
cooking and medicine, contains curcumin, one of the most potent known
natural anti-inflammatory agents. The pharmacologically active component
of turmeric, curcumin limits the action of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase
reducing inflammation in the body. While some manufacturers use unstandardized
turmeric with fluctuating levels of curcumin, Traumeric includes 850
mg of standardized turmeric, guaranteed to contain 95% curcumin.
Bromelain
The natural pineapple enzyme, Bromelain is widely accepted
for its role as a proven natural aid in support of healthy muscles while
providing the added benefit of increasing circulation. The presence of
fibrin in the inflamed area blocks blood and lymph vessels which results
in swelling. Bromelain’s anti-inflammatory activity increases the breakdown
of the fibrin around the inflamed area. Bromelain also blocks the production
of kinins— compounds produced during inflammation which increase swelling
and cause pain. Over 400 scientific papers on bromelain’s therapeutic
applications have appeared in medical literature since 1957, including
a 1960 study in which 78% of boxers receiving bromelain showed all signs
of bruising completely cleared within 4 days compared with 13% in a control
group.
