Phytoprofen

Product overview Thorne’s Phytoprofen brings together curcumin phytosome, boswellia, ginger, and bromelain - each highly researched, with a long history of traditional use and modern research supporting a healthy immune response, and connective tissue health. It’s a formula built around the body’s own recovery systems - supporting the body to return to a state of balance and optimal well-being naturally. When the body needs support for its natural recovery processes, nature has a compelling answer in Phytoprofen. Supports a healthy immune response to injury, tenderness, swelling & tissue trauma Supports the body’s natural healing processes Features Meriva® curcumin phytosome - significantly better absorbed than standard curcumin Bromelain - a natural pineapple-derived proteolytic enzyme well researched for recovery support Supporting a healthy response Inflammation is not the enemy; it's the first responder. Mediated by the immune system it is a natural response and one of the body's most important protective mechanisms. When the body experiences physical stress, infection, injury, or surgery, immune system cells release specific chemical messengers to kick your body’s innate recovery systems into gear. The challenge is balance. A healthy, balanced immune response is time-limited and proportionate - it does its job and then subsides. Cytokines are the chemical messengers that coordinate this process, and supporting healthy cytokine balance is at the heart of what Phytoprofen is designed to do. Inside the formula - where Ayurvedic tradition meets modern science Ayurvedic medicine has used ginger, boswellia, and curcumin for thousands of years, and modern research continues to validate what traditional practitioners discovered long ago. Curcumin: is the active compound in turmeric, delivered as Meriva® - bound to phospholipids for significantly better absorption than standard curcumin. Well researched for its antioxidant properties and support for a healthy immune response. Boswellia: also known as Indian frankincense extract, Boswellia has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. Highly researched for supporting a healthy response for injured connective tissues and joints.
