Boswellia SAP
Boswellia SAP provides a standardized dose of Boswellia serrata oleogum resin extract, used in traditional medicine for centuries for a number of ailments related to acute and chronic inflammation. Boswellic acids, especially 11‑keto-β‑boswellic acid (KBA) and 3‑O‑acetyl-11‑keto- β‑boswellic acid (AKBA) are the main active constituents responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects of B. serrata, are specific inhibitors of 5‑lipoxygenase (5‑LOX), and thereby suppress leukotriene synthesis. Boswellia SAP can be used to maintain healthy inflammatory response and reduce pain associated with osteo‑ and rheumatoid arthritis. Boswellia SAP could be very useful in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and to improve quality of life in patients during the remission phase. In addition, Boswellia SAP could help improve lung and immune function in asthma patients. Boswellia SAP can also be used to reduce peritumoural brain oedema, support neurorecovery following traumatic brain injury (TBI), and potentially as an adjunctive support in cancer treatment. Evidence supports the use of Boswellia SAP for promoting clinical benefits in blood-glucose control and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetic patients.

NEM SAP
Natural eggshell membrane (NEM®) is the thin membrane that forms the inner lining of hen eggshells. It contains many ingredients that are known to help support joint health, including collagen, glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans, and chondroitin sulfate, as well as several other proteins and peptides.[1] Studies have demonstrated that NEM® can improve symptoms of pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis within 7–10 days of starting supplementation.[1] NEM® SAP combines NEM® with the botanical Boswellia serrata (frankincense) to optimize its positive effects on reducing pain and inflammation. NEM® SAP provides a safe and effective treatment for pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis as well as other inflammatory processes.

Quercetin SAP
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid found in onions, apples, black tea, and grapefruit. Quercetin has antiallergic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity. Mast cells contribute to the inflammatory process in allergic reactions, where immunologic stimulation leads to degranulation of the mast cell as well as the generation of numerous cytokines and inflammatory mediators. Quercetin is an effective treatment option for allergies, as it has been shown to inhibit mast-cell secretions, and it has the ability to downregulate histamine production via inhibition of the enzyme histidine decarboxylase (HDC) mRNA from human mast cells. Quercetin also causes a decrease in the release of IL-6 and tryptase, and is known to inhibit phospholipase A2 and 5-lipoxygenase, thereby reducing synthesis of leukotrienes and the series-2 prostaglandins via the arachidonic-acid pathway. The anti-inflammatory properties of quercetin were explored in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study on men with chronic prostatitis syndrome. The study found that after one month of treatment, 67% of men in the treatment group reported at least a 25% improvement in their pain levels. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from the stem of the pineapple plant. Bromelain has been found to be a mucolytic agent effective in respiratory disorders, and functions as an anti-inflammatory agent. Bromelain counteracts the fibrin and kinin pathways, which stimulate plasmin. Plasmin blocks endogenous arachidonic-acid mobilization and reduces prostaglandin synthesis, which reduces localized inflammation and edema. This is thought to be the mechanism by which bromelain helps reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Bromelain may also enhance the effectiveness of quercetin.
