5-LOXIN is a new, patent-pending joint health ingredient that is steeped in the historic roots of boswellia serrata extracts. The boswellia plant has been used for thousands of years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine in India, and recent studies have shown its benefits in promoting joint comfort, knee mobility and walking distance.*
Edible Science is proud to offer the patented premier boswellia extract. Powerful agent in supporting minimizing inflammation throughout the body. 5-LOXIN® is a registered trademark PL Thomas & Co. Inc.. International patents pending
• 5-LOXIN® is the most potent boswellic acid available,
providing 30% AKBA
• Boswellic acids are natural, orally active, non-redox and non-competitive
5-lipoxygenase inhibitors. There are six boswellic acids; however, AKBA
is the most active
• 5-LOXIN® provides a higher concentration of AKBA (standardized to
30%, while other Boswellic acid fractions contain only 2% - 3%)
• 5-LOXIN® is produced by the concentration of a naturally occurring
boswellic acid in a internationally patent-pending process
• 5-LOXIN® is a 5-lipoxygenase (Non-COX) inhibitor and can be combined
with other COX inhibitors.
• 5-LOXIN® was shown to significantly inhibit Matrix metalloproteinase
(MMP’s), a class of enzymes that selectively hydrolyze peptide bonds and
degrade structural proteins, playing a crucial role in the degradation of
joint tissues
• 5-LOXIN® inhibits the expression of adhesion molecules, including ICAM
& VCAM, which are directly involved in inflammation
• 5-LOXIN®’s anti-inflammatory activity is demonstrated by carrageenan-
induced rat paw-edema and Freund’s adjuvant induced arthritic
experiments
For centuries Traditional Ayurvedic Medicine has used boswellia serrata (frankincense), for its anti- inflammatory properties.1 The boswellic acids2, a group of triterpene acids isolated from the boswellic resin3, have been identified as the source of this activity.
Microlactin
What does MicroLactin™ do?
MicroLactin™ is a milk protein-based, revolutionary new dietary supplement clinically proven to promote healthy joint function. This unique product has been shown in published clinical trials to significantly decrease temporary joint pain and stiffness and significantly improve mobility and range of motion. It is well tolerated and easy to take.
What are the active ingredients in MicroLactin™?
The active ingredients in MicroLactin™ The active ingredients in MicroLactin™ are concentrated milk proteins. These proteins are found naturally in cow's milk and are comprised of unique antibodies and other bioactive micronutrients. Using a patented process that isolates and concentrates these natural proteins in sufficient quantities, MicroLactin™ can be encapsulated.
How does MicroLactin™ work?
MicroLactin™ works by making the “tight junctions” of the blood vessels even tighter. This in turn significantly reduces the emigration of neutrophils to the site of inflammation (i.e. sore joints). As a result, the cycle of inflammation and pain is broken, resulting in better feeling joints, increased flexibility and quicker joint recovery.
What is the recommended dose of MicroLactin™?
Clinical studies support using a loading dose of two grams twice daily for the first 7-10 days, followed by a maintenance dose of one gram twice daily thereafter.
Do I need to take MicroLactin™ every day?
Yes, a continuous daily supply of the concentrated micro-proteins found in MicroLactin™ is necessary to maintain its positive effects.
Should I take MicroLactin™ before or after a meal?
For maximum benefit, MicroLactin™ should be taken twice daily - once in the morning and once in the evening. You may take it with or without food.
When will I start to feel the benefits of MicroLactin™?
In the MicroLactin™ clinical trials, participants experienced significant improvement in joint health in just 1-2 weeks. Many users report benefits in the first few days of use.
What age do you have to be to take MicroLactin™?
To date, MicroLactin™ has only been clinically tested in adults. Use by individuals under the age of 20 should be done under the care of a health care provider.
What clinical work has been done with MicroLactin™?
Two clinical trials have been completed and published evaluating the efficacy and safety of MicroLactin™. In each of these studies, MicroLactin™ was found to deliver significant relief of joint pain and joint stiffness and to improve mobility in patients with osteoarthritis. Nine out of ten patients who were assigned to the MicroLactin™ group had significant relief of joint symptoms. It was also found to have a 60% greater treatment effect than glucosamine for overall improvement in joint function.
Does MicroLactin™ have any side effects?
No. In clinical studies, no reports of serious adverse events were recorded. Also, Humanetics, the company providing this ingredient, has not received reports of side effects by consumers who have used the product since its commercial launch in 2001.
Are there any health conditions or medications that interact with MicroLactin™?
Only 2 to 5% of the population have an allergy to cow's milk protein. Those individuals should avoid taking MicroLactin™. In addition, milk proteins in MicroLactin™ may interfere with the activity of tetracycline-type antibiotics. Please consult your physician.
Can I still use MicroLactin™ if I'm lactose intolerant?
MicroLactin™ is 90% lactose free. At these levels, lactose intolerance is not expected to be an issue (see below).
Can MicroLactin™ be taken with other joint health products?
Yes, MicroLactin™ can be taken with any other joint health product. Please consult your physician if you are taking any prescription medications.
Couldn’t I just drink regular cow’s milk and get the same effect?
The bioactive ingredients found in MicroLactin™ are also found in regular cow’s milk, but in concentrations that are much too low to be practical. In addition, MicroLactin™ is derived from milk that is obtained from specially treated and cared for cows in New Zealand. This milk then undergoes a patented isolation and concentration process to give you the most beneficial active ingredients in a convenient capsule form.
How long has MicroLactin™ been around?
The technology to create MicroLactin™ was discovered in the late 1950’s. Over the past 40 years, this technology has been further refined to the high level it is today. The first commercial sale of MicroLactin™ started in 2001.
Does MicroLactin™ have any benefits other than joint care?
Yes. Interestingly, there have published clinical trials illustrating the benefit of the active ingredients in MicroLactin™ in maintaining blood pressure and healthy cholesterol levels. There are potential benefits in sports recovery that is supported by a clinical trial showing improved recovery times in long distance runners. Finally, MicroLactin™ is also rich in antibodies, which may play a role in promoting good intestinal health.
Celadrin
The extremely high user success rate and virtually complete absence of side effects has helped Celadrin® rise to the rank of joint support extraordinaire. Celadrin® is novel blend of acetylated fatty acids, esters and other synergistic agents that enhance cell membranes throughout the body, resulting in greater mobility and more normalized joint function.
“Forty-three million Americans report that a doctor told them they have arthritis or other rheumatic conditions. Another 23 million people have chronic joint symptoms but have not been diagnosed with arthritis. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the United States, limiting the activities of more than 16 million adults.”
- US Center for Disease Control, 2005
This is of alarming concern, especially if you’re one of the nearly 60 million US adults who live with a joint disorder. Clearly, you don’t need to be reminded of what a struggle it can be. Mundane tasks become major, and major tasks become painful reminders of what life was like prior to your articular downfall. Many sufferers lose hope, while others hopelessly lose out on so many of life’s activities.
Over the past ten years, notable advances in the nutritional sciences have paved the path for landmark products such as Glucosamine, SAMe, Chondroitin, MSM, and others. As a result, millions have found relief in these products and continue to use them in their quest towards healthy mobility. Fortunately, the science behind these popular joint support supplements has done nothing but steadily improve. Celadrin® is perhaps the most convincing proof to date. Let’s examine.
In short, Celadrin® is novel blend of acetylated fatty acids, esters and other synergistic agents that enhance cell membranes throughout the body, resulting in greater mobility and more normalized joint function. The extremely high user success rate and virtually complete absence of side effects has helped Celadrin® rise to the rank of joint support extraordinaire. Yes, this is a bold statement. However, just one look at the supporting research is enough to convince even the most skeptical critics of what a true breakthrough it is. Celadrin®’s ability to provide fast, cumulative relief continues to be evidenced by extensive clinical research, as well as a steady flow of eye-opening human trials.
Unlike popular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) that simply mask joint discomfort, Celadrin® targets the source by enhancing cell membranes and restoring the vital fluids that cushion bones and joints. Ultimately, this is what makes it possible to enjoy a free range of motion without the bone-on-bone grinding that limits so many from their daily activities. Working in much the same manner that other fatty acids do, Celadrin®’s patented blend of esterified fatty acids spark positive changes at the cellular level. As this occurs, cell membranes become more responsive and less prone to articular cartilage deterioration.
“How long do I need to take it?”
Not only does it work well, studies continue to illustrate Celadrin®’s ability to work fast. This can be attributed to how easily absorbed the active ingredients are. In 2005, a University-led, placebo-controlled study examined 42 patients who struggled with knees that were…let’s just say less than fully functional. After just 30 minutes, 100% of the subjects treated with a topical form of Celadrin® reported significant improvement in joint mobility and support. Even more impressive, each participant demonstrated continuous and restorative benefits over the course of the entire 30 day study.
“How do I use Celadrin®?”
One of the most appealing elements of Celadrin® is the flexibility that users have when it comes to taking charge of their joint health. It is available in both oral and topical forms, and each is effective. Some users have reported greater results by supplementing the oral form while applying the topical lotion directly to the target areas in question. Still, no two people are alike. Accordingly, the severity and nature of each individual concern will vary from person to person. Therefore, it can be wise to determine which application works best for your particular situation.
“What if I don’t have joint problems?”
For openers, you’re very fortunate. If your joints are strong and fluid, Celadrin® is one of the most effortless ways to keep them that way! Cartilage breakdown is gradual, and occurs over a long, delayed, unsuspecting period of time. In many cases, there is very little warning that your knee or shoulder is about to become part of a frightening and growing statistic. Your joints may feel fine today, but you’d be amazed at how fast that can change. Think of Celadrin® as Cartilage Insurance. You may not see an immediate need to support them right now, but if they do give out, you’ll sincerely wish you had.
“What should I look for in a Celadrin® product?”
As with every dietary supplement and joint-support product, you should always look for a quality formula from a trusted, well-established manufacture with a history of producing quality products. NOW® Celadrin® products are scientifically formulated, tested for safety and potency and guaranteed to be of superior quality. Each full serving of our 500 mg capsules contains 1.5 g (1500 mg) of Celadrin® along with 300 mg of MSM for additional support. NOW® Celadrin® Liposome Lotion contains 7.5 % Celadrin® along with 1.25% USP Pharmaceutical grade natural Menthol. Both are now available at fine independent health food retailers nationwide.

High EGC Green Tea:
GREEN TEA MAY SUPPRESS AUTOIMMUNITY
Stephen Hsu, probably the world’s leading researcher into green tea and a former green tea farmer himself, has presented a preliminary study indicating that EGCG, present in green tea, can help suppress proteins that trigger autoimmune responses. (Arthritis Foundation’s Arthritis Research Conference, 2005, Atlanta).
Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate the main ingredient in Green Tea has been shown to be effective at regulating the histamine response.
From Immunology Vol. 96, Issue 8, 4524-4529, April 13, 1999:
An antioxidant-rich polyphenolic fraction isolated from green tea (green tea polyphenols, GTPs) has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties in experimental animals. In this study we determined the effect of oral consumption of GTP on collagen-induced arthritis in mice. In three independent experiments mice given GTP in water exhibited significantly reduced incidence of arthritis (33% to 50%) as compared with mice not given GTP in water (84% to 100%). The arthritis index also was significantly lower in GTP-fed animals.
