Description

Ortho Molecular InflammaCORE

Essential Nutrition | Gastrointestinal Health 

InflammaCORE^® is an advanced nutritional formula built to address immune challenges, maintain normal inflammatory balance and strengthen gastrointestinal barrier function.

Inflammation is a natural part of the body’s immune response, a cascade triggered to protect the body and maintain normal tissue repair. Acute inflammation is the body’s initial response to harmful stimuli in which plasma and immune cells are relocated from the blood into injured tissues. This movement is followed by a cascade of biochemical events that advance the normal inflammatory response. It is essential to maintain a normal inflammatory balance to achieve optimal health.

InflammaCORE^® is a fructose-free formula featuring 19 g of easy-to-digest brown rice protein per serving and soothing, flax-based fiber. In addition, InflammaCORE® provides high amounts of L-glutamine and glycine, amino acids crucial for intestinal reinforcement and mucosal cell regeneration. InflammaCORE^® is available in delicious vanilla chai, chocolate mint, and strawberry flavors.

Key Benefits and Features: 

• Maintains Normal Inflammatory Balance
• Strengthens GI Barrier Function
• Boosts Immune Function
• Provides Key Nutrients for Cell Replication
• Increases Antioxidant Protection

Turmeric (Complete Turmeric Matrix)

Whole-root turmeric and its active components have been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. In the herbal medicine of old, practitioners used teas, tinctures, and extracts of all types. In the 21st century, as research grew on the benefits of turmeric, the focus shifted to identifying and isolating one individual compound, curcumin, rather than delivering the comprehensive benefits of a matrix of turmeric bioactives. As a result, concentrating curcumin led to poor absorption, and pharmaceutical methods were applied to bypass the gut and increase its bioavailability. The glaring disadvantage of applying this pharmaceutical model to botanicals is that it misses the benefits of other bioactives present within the turmeric matrix and their positive effects on the microbiome.

New research on turmeric shows these bioactives have additional benefits and enhance bioavailability. The Complete Turmeric Matrix includes compounds from the entire turmeric root, all working together as nature intended to deliver better results. The Complete Turmeric Matrix formulation contains standardized amounts of 45%–55% curcuminoids, 2%-6% turmerin protein, and 3%-8% volatile oil, plus other components that make up the whole turmeric root. This matrix of bioactive compounds supports a healthy GI tract, creates a healthy microbiome, and helps maintain normal inflammatory balance.

Studies have shown that turmeric and its phytonutrients, like curcumin, specifically maintain normal inflammatory balance in the most significant GI challenges. Curcumin has been found to both promote GI mucosal health and help reduce stomach lining discomfort. It provides antioxidant protection in the cardiovascular system. Curcumin has also been shown to improve mood imbalances and adrenal fatigue by supporting a normal immune response and reducing oxidative stress and intestinal permeability.

Green Tea Extract (EGCg)

Green tea, used for centuries as a health tonic, is a potent antioxidant and is effective for maintaining normal inflammatory balance. Its most researched active component, EGCg, has been repeatedly shown to protect against free radical damage and balance markers of inflammation. EGCg has been found to block NFkB activity and supports cardiovascular health by interfering with free radical generation in macrophages. In studies, green tea has been shown to reduce histamine-producing cells and maintain normal inflammatory balance. It has also been shown to inhibit key enzyme pathways involved in eicosanoid production, which play a key role in joint health.

Arabinogalactan

Larch arabinogalactan is a fermentable polysaccharide fiber from the larch tree that promotes optimal immune health by supporting the growth of beneficial gut flora and strengthening the activity of NK cells. It has been found to minimize ammonia synthesis and absorption, enhance production of short-chain fatty acids, and increase the population of beneficial gut microflora. In one placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial, arabinogalactan was found to boost immune activity and support upper respiratory health.

Skullcap Root Extract

This popular Chinese botanical has been shown to maintain normal inflammatory balance and support cardiovascular health. Skullcap possesses potent antioxidant properties. Research has shown it attenuates NFkB and inhibits COX-2 expression. It also supports healthy respiratory function by protecting airways and protecting mitochondrial function.

Quercetin

A flavonoid found in a variety of botanicals, vegetables, and fruits, quercetin is a potent antioxidant that inhibits inducible ICAM-1 expression, an important pathway for maintaining normal inflammatory balance. It has also been shown to enhance epithelial barrier function in the intestines by stabilizing mast cells through the release of cell-protective factors. In addition, quercetin has been shown to promote the balanced release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells.

Glutamine and Glycine

Amino acids L-glutamine and glycine are essential for healthy gut mucosa and normal tissue repair. Numerous studies have shown these amino acids to be soothing to the GI lining. The amino acid L-glutamine has been associated with better immune response, stronger intestinal wall lining, and higher antioxidant capacity. Recent research also highlights the synergistic role between these amino acids and a healthy balance of probiotic bacteria in the GI tract.

Vitamin D

One of the key functions of vitamin D is its ability to tighten gap junctions in the intestinal lining to create a strong barrier that protects the body from foreign substances. Recent research suggests that improving vitamin D status significantly affects the expression of genetic pathways linked to immune activity. Vitamin D up-regulates specific genes that increase cellular production of natural compounds that play a major protective role in the immune system. Higher blood levels of vitamin D have been shown to enhance immune function and soothe tissues of the GI tract.
