Willow bark and related ingredients
- Willow bark has a long history of traditional use for musculoskeletal comfort. Several randomized human trials illustrate its actions due to salicin, a source of salicylic acid. Additionally, it helps to maintain healthy prostaglandin metabolism and blood flow.
- Boswellia serrata has also revealed the potential to provide statistically significant support for joint comfort. AKBA, or 3-acetyl-11-ketobeta-boswellic acid, may be particularly supportive in maintaining healthy 5-lipoxygenase enzyme activity and leukotriene metabolism to maintain tissue comfort. Curcumin maintains healthy cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme activity while supporting healthy prostaglandin, leukotriene and thromboxane metabolism. Devil's claw promotes both healthy cyclooxygenase-2 and 5-lipoxygenase enzyme activity. A review of 12 human studies indicates that Devil's claw may promote musculoskeletal comfort and function. DL-Phenylalanine supports enkephalin activity.
