New Chapter Zyflamend Whole Body - 180 ct

For several years now, anytime we would have otherwise felt the need for an ibuprofen, Tylenol or other pain medicine, we generally take Zyflamend instead due to the anti-inflammatory properties. We have used Zyflamend for joint pain such as when my husband broke his hip and later when his back sustained a compression fracture as well as for heart health - docs gave him 2 weeks or less to live due to Acute on Chronic Severe Congestive Heart Failure, Stage 3 and 4 yet we are on Year 4 and counting ;-), and we do not doubt taking these over pharmaceuticals and OTC NSAIDs these past few years also somehow played at the very least a minor role in his cure of Type 2 diabetes (18 year battle, no more!! ::happy dance:::). The herbs in Zyflamend are whole-food sourced instead of chemically altering the herbs trying to seek out one or two individual substances (think pharmaceuticals...). Zyflamend is geared towards halting an over-active inflammation process. As the packaging states, undoubtedly Zyflamend can help with "normal tissue growth, breast health, natural inflammation response, skin health, joint health, lung health, heart health, pancreas health, prostate health, and bone health." We have found taking one softgel with two meals on the days it is needed has given us the best results, though they can be taken on an empty stomach (ginger undoubtedly helps in this regard.)Per the package:Serving size 2 softgels Servings per container 90 (180 softgel size)Rosemary 150 mgTurmeric 110 mg (great anti-inflammatory properties)Ginger 100 mg (calms stomach among other properties)Holy Basil 100 mg (Tulsi - Google it..)Organic Green Tea 100 mgHu Zhang 80 mg (Polygonum cuspidatum)Chinese Goldthread 40 mgBarberry 40 mgOrganic Oregano 40 mgChinese Skullcap 20 mgOther ingredients: Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), maltodextrin, silica, yellow beeswax, and organic sunflower oil. (A friend with fibromyalgia cannot take maltodextrin... make sure to read up on the ingredients in ALL supplements)Capsule: Gelatin (Halal), vegetable glycerin, water and carob.New Chapter states the softgel supplements are prepared without chemical solvents and are BSE free. The package also indicates these supplements are NON-GMO Verified and are naturally gluten free.UPDATE: The other day I made an unintended attempt at flight... from a step stool... and failed miserably. Crashed and BURNED. Well.. crashed.. and burned on the corner of the counter where I now sport a serious large bruise. One of my docs said somehow I "rotated" which means it isn't just a concussion nor is it just whiplash, it's more.. much more... rotation... all I know is it really hurts much worse than "just whiplash" and the sharp recurrent stabs upon movement are much worse than shredding an ACL. I am VERY appreciative of the bottle of Zyflamend that I just happened to order a few weeks ago. Very appreciative. I have no idea how I would get through this without. Thanks New Chapter! Oh and THANKS AMAZON, the bottle arrived a few weeks ago, but alas I had faith it would arrive without fail, to be here and available when critically needed.. I simply didn't realize just how soon that critical need was going to arise.. er.. fall.. you know what I mean.

Great product. I bought it primarily to ease the arthritic pain in my hands, but an interesting pleasant side affect occurred after being on it for about 2 months. My blood pressure which had been borderline high for a few years had dropped into the normal range! Upon my next visit to my doctor, the nurse began to take my vitals and I usually sit there waiting for her to tell me that my blood pressure was a little high. Sometimes she'd make me wait a few minutes sitting still and retake it to see if it would drop some. This time, she said,"Wow, you blood pressure is great! Have you been exercising?" I said "Not really. I did start taking this new supplement that has a Chinese herb that is used to reduce blood pressure." My doctor was pleased as well. That was almost 1 1/2 yrs. ago and my blood pressure is still perfect. I checked the benefits of each of the herbs in Zyflamend and its the Chinese Skullcap that can be used to treat high blood pressure. It may not work for everyone, but it has for me and has kept me from having to go on Blood pressure meds. As for helping with my arthritis, it hasn't been a cure, but it has lessened the daily pain in my hands.

I was taking Zyflamend, along with several other supplements for my severe Endometriosis and actually became pain free for the first time in 6 years (I had an operation in 2004 that reactivated the disease which had been dormant for about 10 years), but I made a mistake and stopped taking them after about 4 months because I thought the new water therapy I started was what was really helping take away the pain. Boy was I wrong! After 2 weeks off Zyflamend (and still doing water therapy), my Endometriosis returned with a vengeance!!! I am talking about off the charts, grinding, constant pain like I have not experienced in over 15 years! I went back on Zyflamend this week and will add back my other inflammatory meds: Boswellia Extract, Fenugreek and Chinese Skullcap in a few weeks to see if the combo will, like the last time, make me totally pain free again. I realize not everything works for everybody, but I was so fed up with this pain and going to doctor after doctor who just tried to push pain meds on me and told me I had to learn to live with the pain, that I gave Zyflamend and these other supplements a try to see what would happen and they actually worked for me! Better than any pain meds I have been on for the past 35 years, no lie! I was shocked when it took away the pain, not just for a few hours or even a day, I was actually pain free for over 4 months! Why in the world I thought stopping the supplements would make no difference I cannot fathom, but I learned my lesson and I will NOT go off it again!!! It's worth trying to see if it works.
