Harpagophytum procumbens
Common Name: Devil’s claw
It has been used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory preparation for centuries. It is used in herbal medicine as a treatment for osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), backache, and menstrual pain. Devil’s claw contains iridoid glycosides, components believed to have strong anti-inflammatory effects. It has a high concentration of one type of iridoid, called harpagoside.
The anti-inflammatory effects of devil’s claw extract can be attributed to:
- A direct suppression of Cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) inflammatory enzyme
- Scavenging free radicals and inhibiting the enzymes that produce them.
- inhibits the production of the inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha and IL-1beta
- inhibit human leukocyte elastase which is associated with arthritis
Zingiber offcinale
Common Name: Ginger
Ginger has been used to help digestion and treat stomach upset and nausea for more than 2,000 years. Ginger has also been used to help treat arthritis.
The active components of the ginger root are volatile oils and phenolic compounds, such as
gingerols and shogaols.
Mechanism of effect of ginger:
- suppress Cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) inflammatory enzymes
- inhibit the activation of tumor necrosis factor α
- suppresses leukotrienes
- switch off certain inflammatory genes, potentially making it more effective than conventional pain relievers.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)
MSM provides a dietary source of sulfur. It is commonly used for osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pain. The sulfur content of MSM can be used by the body to maintain normal connective tissues by forming cross-linkages through disulfide bonds. MSM has also exhibited possible anti-inflammatory activities along with free radical scavenging.
Research has shown that MSM is highly effective in improving joint flexibility.
Oral, take 1-2 tablets daily with meal or consult with physician.
