5-LOXIN®
75 mg, 100 vegetarian capsules
|
| The typical American diet is loaded with foods that contain
arachidonic acid (like egg yolk, red meat, poultry, and dairy products)
or stimulate the production of excess arachidonic acid in the body
(foods rich in high-glycemic carbohydrates, saturated fats, and omega-6
fatty acids). Scientific studies show that, along with normal aging,
excess arachidonic acid ignites a biochemical cascade that increases
levels of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) enzyme, which can induce
undesirable effects in cells throughout the body.* This cascade
culminates in the excess accumulation of leukotriene B4, a
proinflammatory compound that attacks the joints, the arterial wall, and
other tissues.*
In India, extracts from the Boswellia plant have been used for
centuries as anti-inflammatory agents. Unlike other
boswellic acids that only partially inhibit 5-LOX,2,3
AKBA binds directly to 5-LOX, effectively suppressing its
pro-inflammatory activity. |
