What's in FYI ?
Systemic Enzyme Blend-Protease Blend-a blend of protein digesting enzymes including 5 different
proteases which distinguish themselves for their ability to function in a wide rang of pH environments and temperature conditions. These enzymes have shown to posses valuable therapeutic actions
as anti-inflammatory agents.
Bromelain-a powerful protein digesting enzyme from pineapple contains valuable anti-inflammatory and therapeutic agents. Bromelain is helpful in reducing the pain, swelling, and tenderness associated with injury.

Arthritis and Inflammation
According to the American Arthritis Society, the term arthritis refers to more than one hundred separate conditions. More than 40 million Americans (one in six) have inflammatory conditions and by the year 2020 the Center for Disease Control and Prevention projects that the prevalence of arthritis will increase to 60 million Americans (almost 20% of the population). Gout, an inflammatory disease that causes sudden and severe attacks of pain, tenderness, and swelling in joints affects more than one million Americans. The traditional treatment for arthritis involves the use of pain killers such as NSAIDs (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as aspirin, Motrin, Feldene, Naprosyn, or COX-2 inhibitors such as Celebrex®. These medications may temporarily help to relieve the symptoms of pain but do nothing to eliminate or combat the disease itself. In fact, studies show that continual use of NSAIDs and prescription medications can actually accelerate the deterioration of the joints and worsen arthritis or other inflammatory conditions.

Papain-is a well balanced mixture of protein digesting enzymes isolated from Papaya. Papain is valuable as an anti-inflammatory agent as well as the ability to reduce the tissue irritation and joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.
Lipase-a potent fat digesting enzyme helpful for chronic inflammatory conditions and joint pain and swelling.
Amylase-a carbohydrate digesting enzyme may be beneficial for treating joint immobility.
Cellulase-an enzyme that breaks down plant fiber is known for its use in alleviating chronic pain syndromes.
Chicken Collagen Type II-contains anti-inflammatory properties and has been clinically demonstrated to decrease pain and discomfort stemming from joint disorders. The compounds inherent in Chicken Collagen Type II provide the structural support of healthy joints by promoting new cartilage synthesis and by reducing oxidative damage to the joints. Chicken Collagen Type II contains naturally
occurring chondroiton and glucosamine sulfates which help to bring water, shape, and cushioning back to the cartilage.
Wild Oregano Concentrate-contains 31 known anti-inflammatories, 28 antioxidants and 4 known potent COX-2 inhibitors. With its 31 anti-inflammatories, oregano has more of these compounds than any other herb in the USDA Phytochemical database.
Ginger Extract-Ginger has multiple constituents that inhibit COX-2 inflammation. It balances production of inflammatory prostaglandins PGE3 and PG12. Ginger's constituents safely restore healthy platelet function by inhibiting the formation of an eicosanoid group called thromboxanes (one of the main functions of aspirin.) Ginger reduces prostaglandins that sensitize pain receptors at nerve endings, thereby demonstrating powerful analgesic (or pain reducing) effects.
Poten-Zyme Cat's Claw Extract-has been extensively used by Peruvian Ashaninka Indians to treat a wide range of illnesses including asthma, urinary tract inflammation, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, rheumatism, and bone pain. Cat's Claw contains potent phytochemicals called Quinovic Acid Glycosides. Studies indicate that some of it's constituents can inhibit inflammation from 46% to 69% in various in-vivo and in-vitro tests.
Poten-Zyme Turmeric Extract-an Indian spice that demonstrates powerful anti-inflammatory properties and is a potent antioxidant. It is widely used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for the stimulation of beneficial liver action to relieve digestive inflammation.
Rhododendron Caucasicum Extract-known as the snow rose grows high in the Caucasian mountains of the Republic of Georgia. The smaller antioxidant molecules found in Rhododendron extract showed higher antioxidant values, compared to extracts containing OPCs such as pycnogenol and grape seed extract. The cardio-protective properties of Rhododendron caucasicum includes elimination of capillary fragility and hemorrhoidal bleeding, as well as regulating blood pressure. Rhododendron has proven to be effective in ameliorating the symptoms associated with gout. In a clinical trial of over 170 volunteers with severe gout, the extract proved effective in just a few hours by relieving the painful symptoms associated with gout.
Laminaria and Ulva Extract -edible brown and green sea vegetables which
contain large amounts of protein, vitamins, and polysaccharides. These sea vegetables contain Glucuronic Acid.
