Chronic joint symptoms affect approximately 70 million Americans.
As the American population continues to age, the use of non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAID's, continues to increase as well.
Because of the side effects associated with NSAID's, such as increased
chance of heart attack or stroke, ulcers and bleeding in the stomach
and intestines, anemia, and liver damage to name a few, it is more important than ever to find effective solutions that are less invasive and potentially toxic.
CelerEase™ is a proprietary extract of celery seed that supports the reduction of joint inflammation and its related discomfort - providing
support for joint mobility without the serious potential side effects
associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's).1,2
Celery seed naturally contains compounds which include, 1.5 – 3%
volatile oils (including the terpenes limonene and b-selinene and
pthalides) and flavonoids (apigenin and apiin). These compounds exhibit
a wide array of properties including anti-inflammatory, antinociceptive
(reducing sensitivity to painful stimuli), and diuretic.3
How Does It Work?
CelerEase™ has been shown to inhibit cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX 1 and
2) activity, as well as prostagladin 2 (PGE2) production. This is
believed to occur as some of the compounds in celery seed are
structural analogs of arachidonic acid. As prostaglandins and other
eicosanoids, are biochemically synthesized from this fatty acid, these
celery seed compounds can serve as competitive substrates for COX and
LOX enzyme systems, inhibiting the formation of PGE2 and other
inflammatory eicosanoids.4
