Interesting Facts:

• As opposed to NSAIDS (conventional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) long term use ofboswellia does not appear to cause irritation or ulceration of the stomach.
• Curcumin interrupts the formation of leukotrienes (powerful pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, and inhibits the response of white blood cells to inflammatory stimulation.
• The father of all foods, alfalfa has roots that reach up to 60 feet into the soil to absorb trace minerals. Its lightweight proteins stimulate the rebuilding of tissues and strengthen hair, skin, and nails.
• White Willow Bark contains the natural pharmaceutically active compound salicin, or salicylic acid, the chemical forerunner of acetylsalicylic (modern aspirin), known to complement the body`s ability to relieve discomfort – without the possible complications caused by aspirin.
• Horsetail- Silica also helps in bone maintenance, enhancing bone flexibility and adhesion. The best dietary source of silica is whole grains- meaning much of our dietary silica is lost in the refining process.
• Naturally occurring sulfur (MSM) should not be confused with inorganic sulfides, sulfites, and sulfates to which many people are allergic. Some of sulfur`s essential functions include maintaining structure of proteins in the body, helping the formation of keratin (essential for hair and nail growth), aiding in the production of immunoglobulin (maintains the body`s system) and catalyzing the chemical reactions that change food into energy. MSM is often so effective for pain relief that doctors are able to lower the dosage of medication they prescribe for patients. The end result is relief along with fewer or no side effects that are frequently caused by prescriptive medications.
