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.

Proteolytic Enzymes

High Potency Blend – Therapeutic Support for Muscle, Tissue and Joint Function

Promotes Healthy Inflammatory Response – Encourages Accelerated Recovery and Tissue Repair

MyoMend proteolytic enzymes is a unique blend of therapeutic plant-based enzymes with additional benefits from antioxidant properties of rutin.

MyoMend’s high potency blend of bromelain, papain, protease, serratiopeptidase, nattokinase and catalase enzymes create a synergistic effect to assist with capillary, tissue, and muscle function. They also help promote a healthy inflammatory response for cardiovascular wellbeing.

MyoMend’s therapeutic enzymes work with the body’s immune system, encouraging accelerated recovery and repair of muscle, tissue and joint function.

Proteolytic enzymes interrupt the vicious cycle of chronic inflammation and associated pain, found in arthritis and autoimmune disorders. 

A chronic state of inflammation and tissue destruction occurs when the inflammatory process goes awry and doesn’t shut off, and the immune system doesn’t function properly.

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.
