Broad-spectrum support for a healthy inflammation response — for relief of soreness or discomfort associated with occasional pain, stiffness as a result of overexertion and everyday stress

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a naturally occurring food component (e.g. found in egg yolks and peanuts) recognized for its ability to support pain relief, healthy mood, cognitive strength, mobility and exercise recovery. PEA is also made in the human body.

PEA is an extensively researched natural ingredient for important neuroprotective actions.

There have been hundreds of research papers referenced in PubMed on Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and how it can help the body. Most notably, the work of Nobel laureate Levi-Montalcini focused on PEA’s support of neuropathic pain states.

This specially formulated PEA supplement from Euromedica includes Serratiopeptidase, a proteolytic enzyme that supports muscle recovery, mobility, and microcirculation.

Euromedica’s PEA is also unique in that it is highly absorbable. It contains GammaSorb®, a plant-based material that binds to nutrients, making them more easily absorbed and more bioavailable for optimal benefits. GammaSorb has been shown to increase the absorption of certain hard to absorb (fat soluble) dietary ingredients.

Euromedica PEA Supports Conditions Related to Inflammation. 

A healthy inflammatory response is critical for physical and mental well-being. The powerful nutrients in PEA Healthy Inflammation Response deliver a wide range of support for: *^†

• Pain relief^†
• Exercise performance
• Mental well-being
• Joint flexibility & comfort
• Muscle recovery
• Healthy nerve function

^†Occasional inflammation or muscle pain due to exercise or overuse.

How can PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide) Be a Therapeutic Opportunity for Chronic Pain?

“A growing body of evidence suggests that neuroinflammation, which is characterized by infiltration of immune cells, activation of mast cells and glial cells, and production of inflammatory mediators in the peripheral and central nervous systems, has an important role in the induction and maintenance of chronic pain.

These findings support the notion that new therapeutic opportunities for chronic pain might be based on anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving mediators that act on immune cells, in particular mast cells and glia, to mitigate or abolish neuroinflammation.

Among anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving lipid mediators, palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) has been reported to down-modulate mast cell activation and to control glial cell behaviors.” — Pain Physician, February 2016

Over 80 Years of Research on Palmitoylethanolamide

PEA was identified over 80 years ago when it was isolated from animals.  It was later found to be contained in chicken egg yolk, olive oil, safflower and soy lecithin, peanut meal, and several other foods.

Nobel laureate Rita Levi-Montalcini and her group identified the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and mechanism of action of PEA.

PEA is an endogenous fatty acid amide (FAA) that belongs to the family of biologically active lipids that are increased by the body to soothe discomfort naturally.

FAAs like PEA play a role in intracellular signaling to resolve factors that lead to cellular stress and inflammation. PEA is incorporated into cell membranes and works in concert with the endocannabinoid system.

Features Higher Levels of Clinically Studied BCM-95® Curcumin with BosPure® Boswellia
More Concentrated Strength than regular Curaphen

Unique and Proprietary Formula to Reduce Inflammation

Fights Pain and Inflammation Associated with Exercise and Overuse

Curaphen Extra Strength vs Curaphen

Curaphen Extra Strength features the same ingredients as Curaphen but with higher levels of targeted ingredients.

Curaphen Extra Strength is a tablet and Curaphen is a capsule.

About Curaphen Extra Strength’s Proprietary Complex

Curaphen contains BCM-95 Curcumin, BosPure Boswellia, DL-phenylalanine (amino acid) and Nattokinase.

BCM-95 Curcumin is a potent curcumin-essential oil complex.  Curcumin (Curcuma longa) is a compound found in the spice turmeric.

BCM-95 acts in these ways:

√ supports a healthy inflammation response

√ is a potent antioxidant

√ provides immune system support

√ protects from oxidative stress

√ provides natural pain relief

BCM-95 has up to 10 times better absorption and greater blood retention time (8-12 hours) than standard 95% curcumin extracts. (Standard curcumin is poorly absorbed.)

Studies on BCM-95

BosPure Boswellia is purified to increase the active boswellic acids that are anti-inflammatory compounds (AKBA – Acetyl-11-Keto-beta-Boswellic Acid), and to reduce inflammation-causing compounds (beta-boswellic acids). Boswellia extract (Boswellia serrata) in Curaphen helps modulate the activity of the inflammatory enzyme 5-LOX (lipoxygenase).

Research on Boswellia’s Anti-inflammatory Properties

Other Active Ingredients in Curaphen Extra Strength

DL-phenylalanine amino acids have been shown to relieve occasional muscle pain due to exercise or overuse.
L -phenylalanine boosts serotonin and dopamine levels which support mood and relieves pain.
D-phenylalanine inhibits the breakdown of endorphins, a natural pain killing compound and mood booster.
Phenylalanine, an essential amino acid, naturally occurs in breast milk.

Nattokinase, extracted from fermented soy, helps promote blood flow including microcirculation in the capillaries. This aids other ingredients and nutrients to reach all areas of the body. Nattokinase is an enzyme which helps break down the inflammation around the joints by helping to modulate the deposition of fibrinogen. Excess fibrinogen levels have been noted in post-exercise muscle pain and occasional muscle strain (natural response to the tearing of muscle fibers). This excess fibrinogen may contribute to muscle stiffness and excess fibrin (produced from fibrinogen) may block the body’s repair systems from getting to the inflammation.

Please note that Curcumin in large amounts may act as a blood thinner.

People on anti-coagulants such as warfarin should only take nutrition supplements containing Curcumin under the care of a healthcare provider.

Curaphen Extra Strength is made by EuroMedica in the U.S.

Boswellia for Advanced Lung, Bronchial, Intestinal and Joint Support

Standardized, Extra Strength Boswellia 

Boswellia (Boswellia serrata), also known as frankincense, has been a vital component of Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years.

Modern research confirms that boswellia effectively reduces inflammation in the body such as in the respiratory and digestive tracts.

Scientists say that boswellia helps moderate inflammation via its action upon the 5-LOX (lipoxygenase) enzyme, part of an inflammatory pathway.

How is BosPro Different from Other Boswellia Supplements?

• BosPro Boswellia is purified and optimized to provide more boswellic acids (AKBA – Acetyl-11-keto-B-boswellic acids) that are anti-inflammatory .
• BosPro has up to 10 times more anti-inflammatory AKBA than unstandardized boswellia.
• BosPro contains less boswellic acids (BBA- beta-boswellic acids) that are inflammatory.
• BosPro has less than 5% BBA vs unstandardized boswellia.
• BosPro provides 500 mg. of this clinically-researched form of boswellia, used in studies around the world.

What is Inflammation?

Inflammation is a normal protective response of the body to injury and infection. When the process works “properly” the inflammation subsides once things are healed.

However, many of our modern western diseases are conditions where the human inflammatory response has gone awry. These chronic conditions include asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, Alzheimers, depression and obesity.

In addition to making changes in our diets, reducing emotional stress and environmental stressors, taking a highly potent boswellia product like BosPro can help get our inflammation “reflex” back into balance.

Read research about the anti-inflammatory properties of boswellia.

BosPro is commonly paired with the CuraPro, a highly absorbable curcumin.
