Product description
Certified Naturals™ Bioavailable Boswellia features the patented Boswellia Phytosome® known as Casperome®
Pain hurts! Pain is something none of us enjoy experiencing. Described as an “unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage”, we all spend great effort to avoid pain. It is a symptom of an underlying health issue and motivates us to give extra protection to the part of the body affected. Other times, pain may be chronic and persist for long periods of time – even for years. Most challenging are the pains that arise without any detectable underlying conditions. Canadians are feeling high levels of pain and increasingly so as they age. One in five Canadians is experiencing some sort of chronic pain according to the Canadian Pain Task Force.1 It is affecting our ability to function: the percentage of Canadians reporting pain levels that prevent activities increases with age reaching 24% of females and 17% of males after the age of 65.2 Treating pain represents a growing market opportunity..
Casperome® is a new delivery form of Boswellia that addresses the absorption issues associated with typical Boswellia extracts. Using patented Phytosome® technology, which complexes Boswellia extract with sunflower lecithin, Casperome® Boswellia has demonstrated significantly improved absorption.
The lecithin utilized in the Phytosome® technology protects Casperome®’s Boswellic acids from degradation by water and shuttles the acids through the intestinal tract more efficiently. This mimics how taking Boswellic acids with a fatty meal would improve absorption. By using the Phytosome® delivery method, Boswellic acids test 300-400 percent higher in blood measurements when patients take Casperome® vs standard Boswellia extracts.
Not only is Casperome® better absorbed, but it is absorbed faster to deliver quicker pain relief. Casperome® also remains in the system longer which makes it ideal for one time per day dosing which is more convenient for consumers.
Another major difference between Casperome® and other medicinal Boswellia formulations is that Casperome® offers the whole bouquet of Boswellic acids naturally found in Boswellia extract. There are 11 major Boswellic acids, but most commercial Boswellia extracts focus on a single acid, usually AKBA which is thought to inhibit 5-lox enzyme. However, recent studies have downplayed the role of AKBA in the clinical effectiveness of Boswellia extract and highlighted other acids such as β-BA. Overall, it is clear that the Boswellic acids in the extract are best when working in conjunction with each other as intended by nature.
Casperome® has already shown to be effective for a wide variety of types of pain:
- Osteo-muscular joint pain and inflammation
- Ankle sprains
- IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)
- Radiculopathy (pinched nerves)
- Tendonitis
- Asthma
A consistent finding in these studies was that Casperome® is safe and that it can be used in conjunction with conventional treatments (e.g. NSAIDs or physical therapy) while showing reductions in pain that decreased the need for these conventional treatments.
Recommended use: Helps relieve symptoms associated with knee pain. Helps to relieve abdominal pain and cramping associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Provides antioxidants.
