How it works
Inflammation is the body's reaction to physical, chemical or biological
injury. Normally this process localises the problem and results in regeneration
or repair of damaged tissue. Unfortunately this process is not always beneficial
in some people, and in some circumstances can actually cause further damage and
injury, such as in rheumatoid arthritis and asthma.
There are many mechanisms in the body involved in the inflammatory response.
Lyprinol helps to reduce inflammation and swelling by directly inhibiting the
action of the enzymes involved in the inflammatory pathway called the LOX
pathway. By inhibiting this enzyme Lyprinol can reduce both inflammation and
pain, and yet does not interfere with the more positive aspects of the normal
inflammatory response.
Blackmores Lyprinol has a more complex lipid structure compared to other marine oils.
This includes the presence of a number of compounds known to be
anti-inflammatory, such as omega-3 fatty acids. This complex mixture of lipids
is regarded as being essential to explaining the potent action of Lyprinol.
