Consider it a functional food. It is designed to quench inflammation
naturally and safely. Inflammatory compounds can be part of
the body’s own metabolic waste products or they may be
environmental toxins, such as heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides,
solvents, etc. These compounds can act as free radicals, which
damage the tissues and liberate inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins
in the process.
BioInflammatory Plus is a state of the art system designed to
reduce inflammatory compounds with specialty nutrients and antioxidants
(free radical quenchers).
After neutralizing these inflammatory compounds, BioInflammatory
Plus assists the liver in removing them from the body. It does
this by assisting the liver’s Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification
pathways. BioInflammatory Plus helps the liver convert insoluble
inflammatory toxins, which are difficult to remove from the
body, to soluble toxins, which are more easily removed. Use
of BioInflammatory Plus is smooth and easy to incorporate into
a daily routine. In addition, the balanced proportions of protein,
carbohydrate and fats help to keep blood sugar level and your
patient’s energy up.
To get the most out of the BioInflammatory Plus treatment,
it is recommended that your patient follow the “BioInflammatory
Plus Diet”. It is an Elimination-Challenge diet
made up of easily digestible foods, which rarely cause allergic/inflammatory
reactions. Typical allergy foods (gluten containing grains-wheat,
rye, oats, barley, milk and dairy products, egg products, citrus
fruits, peanuts, etc.) are avoided initially. After an initial
treatment period (duration depending on response and your recommendations
as a health care practitioner), suspect allergic foods can be
reintroduced slowly (per your directions as a health care practitioner)
to determine whether they can be safely incorporated into your
patient’s long-range diet plan. Optionally, allergy testing
can be administered for those who do not wish to follow an Elimination-Challenge
approach.
Biologically active B Vitamins are taken up and used “as
is” by the cells of the body. They place no burden on
the liver to phosphorylate them or on the kidneys to eliminate
them. In contrast, biologically inactive B vitamins must go
through an activation process, which takes place in the liver.
Unfortunately, most products supply their B vitamins in the
inactive form. These are rapidly removed from the blood stream
by the kidneys and excreted from the body leaving little time
for the liver to convert them into active forms. Biologically
active B vitamins take part in numerous chemical processes
including detoxification and anti-inflammatory pathways.
Minerals are critical to your health and
to your body’s ability to properly detoxify and protect
itself from free radical inflammatory damage. However, for minerals
to be of any therapeutic benefit you must absorb them. Unlike
many products, BioInflammatory Plus does not cut costs here.
In BioInflammatory Plus you will find only the best fully bonded
mineral transporters available. These carriers provide the highest
absorption and transportation to key sites in the body where
each mineral can support the cells’ health and anti-inflammatory
capacity.
Specialty Nutrients are present in clinically
relevant levels to provide additional antioxidant/anti-inflammatory
protection and support both Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification
pathways in the liver.
N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC) is a form of the
amino acid L-cysteine. It acts as an antioxidant by promoting
the production of glutathione. Glutathione protects tissues
from free radical damage and acts as a powerful chelator of
metabolic and environmental toxins.
Niacinamide acts with NAC to help quench
inflammation by inhibiting poly (ADP-ribose) synthitase (PARS).
PARS can activate inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis
factor alpha. As early as the 1950’s niacinamide was shown
to reduce pain, inflammation and stiffness in arthritic patients.
L-glutamine is essential for a healthy intestinal
tract. It is a preferred fuel for intestinal cells and promotes
their repair and integrity. In doing so, L-glutamine acts to
reduce inflammation in the gut, an important source of systemic
(general body) inflammation.
Bromelain is a potent anti-inflammatory enzyme.
It has been shown to actually digest inflammatory compounds.
Bromelain quenches inflammation at its source, the molecules
that create it.
Hesperidin as a member of the lemon bioflavonoids
has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. One way it works,
is by stabilizing the tissue bound ‘mast cell’.
Mast cells produce inflammatory histamines and leukotrienes.
By stabilizing the mast cell wall, hesperidin reduces the release
of these potent inflammatory compounds. Hesperidin also inhibits
the pro-inflammatory metabolism of arachidonic acid.
Methylsufonylmethane (MSM) provides an organic
source of biologically available sulfur. Sulfur is essential
for connective tissue repair and integrity throughout the body
and plays an important role in liver detoxification (sulfation)
and immune systems. MSM is naturally occurring in the body.
Persons with sulfur antibiotic allergy, need not worry, MSM
is safe. Even high doses are well tolerated in toxicity studies.
White Willow Bark: is traditionally used
to treat pain. The efficacy of this botanical is due mainly
to the proportion of salicin present. The salicin which is a
precursor to salicylic acid works as an antipyretic, antiphlogistic
and as an analgesic.
Papain, Trypsin, Chymotrypsin and Serrapeptase:
are proteolytic enzymes. Administration of proteolytic enzymes
may speed healing of injuries. Proteolytic enzymes have allowed
athletes to return to performance sooner than control groups.
Chymotrypsin, and trypsin have been shown to reduce edema and
inflammation.
Contraindications: A history of previous sensitivity
to any of the product’s ingredients. Any condition for
which any of the ingredients in this product are adverse or
contraindicated. Any disease state managed by pharmacotherapy
for which alterations of serum drug levels secondary to changes
in hepatic metabolism could be life threatening.
Caution: Excessive vitamin A intake
may be toxic. Excess vitamin A intake may increase the risk
of birth defects. Pregnant women and women who may become pregnant
should not exceed 5,000 IU total per day of pre-formed vitamin
A.
BioInflammatory Plus has not been tested in pregnancy, in breastfeeding
women, or in studies with children and, therefore, cannot be

BioInflammatory Plus is free of wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn,
dairy, egg and peanut. No fillers or artificial colors/flavors
are used.
Other Ingredients: Rice protein
concentrate, rice syrup solids, xylitol, rice bran, medium chain
triglycerides, lecithin, natural flavors, xanthan gum, stevia
extract.
