Dietary supplement containing Zinc, Vitamin C, and plant extracts of Boswellia, Ashwagandha, and Devil's Claw, useful for supporting the physiological functions responsible for joint function.
Characteristics
Vitamin C and Zinc, combined with extracts of Devil's Claw, Boswellia, and Ashwagandha, can improve the physiology of joint function and contribute naturally to the rebalancing of inflammatory processes.
Gluten-Free and Naturally Dairy-Free.
Artrix contains:
- Zinc, which participates in the catalytic or regulatory functions of approximately 200 metalloenzymes. It is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system and in the elimination of free radicals, due to its antioxidant activity (it is present in the structure of superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD). Zinc intake, therefore, is useful in all inflammatory joint syndromes, in conjunction with ascorbic acid.
- Vitamin C, the main water-soluble antioxidant, plays an important role in the elimination of free radicals (iNOS – ROS – H2O2), which promote the inflammatory process, as they induce alterations in plasma membranes and promote the release of arachidonic acid. It is also a coenzyme of the prolyl- and lysyl-hydrolase enzymes, essential in the production of collagen and therefore in maintaining the trophism of connective tissues. It is also involved in the biosynthesis of elastin, fibronectin, proteoglycans, and fibrillin. Boswellia (Boswellia serrata), which has anti-inflammatory properties, primarily through various mechanisms of action. The action of the dry extract (phytocomplex) is more effective than the administration of the individual active ingredients. Unlike traditional anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids, it does not induce signs of gastric intolerance (in fact, it exhibits a protective effect against peptic ulcers) and does not interfere with platelet aggregation and coagulation. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), an adaptogenic plant, useful in enhancing the body's ability to adapt in stressful situations (increasing resistance to fatigue, hunger, and wakefulness). The observed anti-inflammatory properties appear to be due primarily to the presence of withaferin A. It does not interfere with platelet aggregation and coagulation. coagulation. The indicated mechanism of action is linked to the inhibition of "hepatic acute phase proteins."
- Devil's Claw (Arpagophitum procumbens), with a mechanism of action that does not substantially alter plasma concentrations of prostaglandins and other eicosanoids, as it is mainly linked to the inhibition of iNOS and 5-lipoxygenase and indirectly to COX2 through inhibition of NF-α. For this reason, the phytocomplex does not induce significant gastrointestinal effects.
