Additional Anti-Inflammatory

Compounds
Besides anti-inflammatory herbs, you can benefit from some additional anti-
inflammatory compounds such as bioflavonoids and systemic enzymes.

BioFlavonoids
Bioflavonoids, or flavonoids, are a group of plant pigments that can provide
protection against many diseases. They are known for the antioxidant, anti-
inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-carcinogenic, and anti allergic properties.   There are
over 4000 known bioflavonoids. Two of my favorites are quercetin and rutin which I
love for their anti-inflammatory benefits.

Quercetin is a flavonoid that can be found in vegetables and fruits, such as leafy
greens, broccoli, tomatoes, and berries. It is rich in antioxidants, full of anti-
inflammatory benefits and can fight free-radical damage. Research shows that it is a
powerful anti-inflammatory compound that can effectively reduce inflammation and
improve your immunity (36).

Rutin can be found in various vegetables and fruits, including apples, citrus, figs,
green tea, black tea, and buckwheat. Rutin has powerful antioxidants that can help
your body to use vitamin C better and which helps to produce collagen. Research
shows that rutin can reduce inflammation and pain in rheumatoid arthritis and other
inflammatory diseases (37).
Systemic Enzymes
Your body uses systemic enzymes to carry out virtually every metabolic function.
They are essential for an immune system and for optimal digestion. They are powerful
biocatalysts that carry out and speed up chemical reactions in your body. More
importantly, according to research, they have full-body anti-inflammatory benefits
(38, 39).

You can receive the benefits of enzymes by eating lots of raw, sprouted and fermented
fruits and vegetables. However, you may also benefit from supplementing with
enzymes, especially if you are dealing with chronic inflammation. Enymes can be
used in combination with anti-inflammatory herbs and bioflavonoids.

Proteo Enzymes are my favorite enzymes which I recommend to my patients all the

time. They are absolutely fantastic in reducing inflammation and in aiding recovery.
Try Inflam Defense for Inflammation
Inflam Defense™ is my favorite supplement to support a healthy inflammatory
response and to protect you from health issues which may result from inflammation.

Inflam Defense™ is a powerful combination of anti-inflammatory herbs, such as

curcumin, boswellia, ginger, and rosemary extract as well as nutrients from quercetin
and rutin, and proteolytic enzymes. I love this product because it can help
downregulate the inflammatory process. It can help you if you are dealing with the
negative impact of acute or chronic inflammatory conditions.

system, choose Inflam Defense™. Take one capsule twice a day between meals or
