Health newsletter Pasio
In our last newsletter we briefly touched upon how inflammation can hinder fat loss. In this health newsletter we focus on supplements that help you to reduce joint inflammation or muscle soreness
In the same vein, special meditation techniques can diminish pain intensity. Or, what has been shown time and again, giving people a placebo, actually causes people's brains to release natural pain killers exactly like as if pumped with adrenalin.
It is even possible to worsen pain experience when people are told a 'nocebo' will lower their pain threshold. The mind is indeed a very powerful thing.
The type of pain we will focus on in this Pasio Newsletter is inflammation as occurs both in joints and muscles. After exercise it is also called DOMS or Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness. |
 COX2Tame
COX2Tame contains a blend of herbs like devil's claw, white willow bark (the natural source of aspirin), curcumin and ginger as well as fatty acids (fish oil, borage oil) known to increase the production of prostaglandins. The entire blend inhibits the so-callled COX-2 enzyme, that is involved with inflammation response.
This way COX2Tame does not just help to reduce muscle soreness and joint pain, but can also be effective when suffering from allergy reactions. |
Bromelain
Bromelain is the enzyme present in the tropical fruit pineapple, which has a long history of use for folk medicine in the Pacific. The best known use of pineapple is to tenderize meat or to take it as a supplement to improve digestion. However, use of bromelain is less well known for its benefits in joint health. Bromelain stimulates the production of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins as well as beneficial eicosanoids just like fish oil and borage oil do. |
 Ultra Joint Builder
Ultra Joint Builder is a total joint health formula that contains the well known ingredients like glucosamine, MSM and hyaluronic acid, but also less well known ingredients which improve joint health. Like the rare mineral boron. Boron deficiency has been found to be related with higher incidence of joint pain.
Ultra Joint Builder also contains two other herbs that improve joint health: the ayurvedic Indian Boswellia serrata as well as the Native (American) Indian folk medicine of yucca extract.

Boswellia serrata
Boswellia serrata is a herb that has a long history in ayurvedic medicine as a support for inflammatory conditions, like asthma, skin disorders, bowel problems but also for joint health. Boswellic acid decreases the effect of protein and cartilage degrading enzymes that appear in the joints of people with osteoarthritis. |
