As people age, chronic systemic inflammation can inflict degenerative effects throughout the body. A primary cause of this destructive cascade is the production of cell-signaling chemicals known as inflammatory cytokines. Along with these dangerous cytokines, imbalances of hormone-like messengers called prostaglandins also contribute to chronic inflammatory processes.

Multiple degenerative processes occur during the aging process that allow for undesirable prostaglandin synthesis. These undesirable prostaglandins create a cascade of events that increase cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), 5-lipooxygenase (5-LOX), and damage promoting cytokines known as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b). Other harmful enzymes are collagenase and phospholipase. Thus, the goal is to create desirable prostaglandins and the health promoting pathways involved.
The ArthroPro multi-nutrient formula:

• Promotes prostaglandin pathways that limit the production of TNF-a and IL-1b through its super concentrated nettle leaf extract ingredient
• Inhibits 5-LOX with the inclusion of inflammatory blocker 5-Loxin®.
• Protects against the age-related damaging effects of the COX-2 enzyme with the agent Nexrutine®
• Includes gingerols (from ginger powder extract), which restrain the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase cascade and the production of thromboxane and leukotriene, powerful triggers of pain
• Helps to maintain healthy joint cartilage with the addition of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, which also controls collagenase and phospholipase
