Arthocin™

Acetyl-11-Keto-beta-Boswellic Acid, or AKBA, is one of the most potent compounds in boswellia. However, its beneficial support for the body’s natural anti-flammatory response can be partially blocked by another compound found in boswellia – beta boswellic acid. Researchers have found that by removing beta boswellic acid, the effectiveness of the boswellic extract is greatly increased. Arthocin combines this unique extract with curcumin, devil’s claw, and gooseberry, three additional ingredients which help block the activity of inflammatory compounds. *

Boswellia (BosPure)
A unique extract, clinically tested BosPure helps reduce the activity of the inflammatory enzyme, 5-LOX (lipoxygenase). A compound (beta boswellic acid) found in boswellia which interferes with its beneficial activity has been removed, greatly increasing the effectiveness of this extract.*1,2

Curcumin (BCM-95)
Curcumin, a compound found in the spice turmeric, inhibits multiple inflammation pathways in the body. It is also a potent antioxidant. However, curcumin is not well absorbed. The specialized extract in this formula has the highest absorption of any curcumin extract available for maximum health benefits.*3-6

Devil’s claw
The devil’s claw is native to southern Africa. The long, barbed spines on the fruit of this plant are responsible for its descriptive name. Research has found that its beneficial effects are due to its ability to reduce the activation of the inflammatory compound NF-kappaB , as well as inhibit the expression of COX-2.*7-9

Indian gooseberry
Also known as amla, Indian Gooseberry has a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine. It is a potent antioxidant, and has been shown to support healthy collagen and cartilage formation.*10,11

Did You Know?

The boswellia tree is native to India. It grows in very harsh, dry environments. When the bark of the tree is scraped, it secretes a resin called “tears.” These tears are better known as frankincense. Boswellic acid extracted from the tears of the boswellia tree has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for hundreds of years.
