Herxheimer Support with CurcuWIN®

Allergy Research Group Herxheimer Support with CurcuWIN®  The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction (“Herx”) is an immune reaction that occurs when bacterial surface proteins and other toxins are released into the bloodstream and tissues. Herx has been seen in individuals taking antibiotics. As bacteria die off, the release of dead and dying cells can trigger a surge of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and enzymes. Excessive levels of these substances can aggravate sensitive tissues. Herxheimer Support (with CurcuWIN®) is a unique blend of herbal ingredients with added bicarbonates. The ingredients were chosen for their ability to support systemwide health during Herxheimer reactions. Modulates intracellular pathways that control Herxheimer reactions Superior bioavailability of curcuminoids Supports a healthy acid-base balance Ingredients Serving Size: 2 Vegetarian Capsules  Amount/Serving Sodium (as Sodium Bicarbonate) 68 mg Potassium (as Potassium Bicarbonate) 97 mg CurcuWIN® Turmeric (Curcuma longa) (Root) Extract (min. 20% Curcuminoids) 500 mg Indian Frankincense Gum (Boswellia serrata) Extract (standardized to 65% Boswellic Acid) 250 mg Other Ingredients: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, stearic acid, silicon dioxide.

Owing to its immunomodulatory properties, Curcuma longa has a long history of use in Ayurvedic medicine. Curcumin modulates a number of different inflammatory pathways, including NF-kB, which plays a central role in Herxheimer reactions. In animal and human studies, supplemental curcumin has been shown to support normal functioning of inflammatory pathways in the heart, brain, lungs, joints, and blood vessels. In a well-controlled human clinical trial, the first curcumin study of its kind to compare commercial curcumin products, CurcuWIN® increased relative absorption of total curcuminoids 46-times over standard curcumin. CurcuWIN® also has longer-lasting action with higher serum concentrations after 12 hours. Boswellia serrata comes from the Indian frankincense tree, which is native to India, North Africa, and the Middle East. Boswellia has long been used as an herbal remedy in Ayurvedic medicine. The tree resin contains phytochemicals known as boswellic acids, which support normal regulation of inflammatory pathways. In clinical studies, Boswellia has been shown to reduce C-reactive protein, as well as downregulate prostaglandin E2 and leukotrienes. Additionally, Boswellia inhibits matrix metallopeptidase. Sodium bicarbonate / potassium bicarbonate supports the normal function of nearly all physiological processes that depends on the maintenance of an appropriate acid-base balance. A below-normal pH (acidosis) is a danger signal that triggers the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Bicarbonate, the second-most abundant anion in the human body, has long been used as a natural alkalinizing agent. In animal models, oral bicarbonate has been shown to support optimal health in the heart, lungs, musculoskeletal system, and other organs.
