• Avoid giving to children under 3 years of age, to pregnant or breastfeeding women without the advice of your health practitioner;
• During chemotherapy, or in the event of serious renal disorders;
• Autoimmune diseases;
• Organ or skin grafts;
• Serious arterial hypotension;
• Cease the use and consult a health practitioner if the symptoms persist or if undesirable effects should occur.

DRUG INTERACTIONS

• Theoretically, glutamine could counteract the effects of anti-epileptics.
• Theoretically, glutamine may reduce the effects of lactulose; drug used to prevent and to treat hepatic encephalopathy and chronic constipation;
• This product may react with drugs prescribed for patients suffering from bipolar disorder. It is inadvisable that the product be combined with them;
• Anticoagulants (Warfarin);
• Chemotherapy;
• In the event of serious illness or consumption of drugs, do not consume this product without the consent of your doctor or your healthcare professional.

ADVERSE EFFECTS

• In rare cases (overdose): nausea, diarrhea and headaches;
• Temporary redness of the face and on the upper parts of the body.

SPEED OF THE EFFECT

Inflamgo is addressed to all those who suffer :

• Joint inflammation: arthritis, arthrosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatism;
• Degenerative disease: rheumatoid arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondylitis and degenerative changes due to wear;
• Having to undergo or already underwent treatment (chiropractic, osteopathic, kinesiologic, etc.) in order to reduce inflammation, to help in treatment, or to reduce the pain following treatment.
• Sporting injuries or minor accidents: bursitis, tendonitis, whiplash, dislocation, fracture, sprain, etc;
• Occupational diseases: carpal tunnel syndrome, epicondylitis (tennis elbow), etc.

Synergistic action

• White willow (bitter phenols and glycosidic flavonoids) is an effective anti-inflammatory agent, but without presenting the gastrointestinal toxicity associated with Aspirin®. Salicylates prevent cyclooxygenase enzyme activity and thus prevent the production of prostaglandins, which may lead to pain and inflammation reduction. It may also decrease symptoms of arthritis and prevent autoimmune reactions. Concurrently, using MSM further decreases long-term pain.

• Glucosamine Sulfate (GS) provides joints with “building blocks” as a solid base to repair damages caused by osteoarthritis. Consequently, not only does GS stimulate the production of substances necessary for healthy joints, but it is also responsible for the stimulation and repair of the joints. Chondroitin has synergistic actions with glucosamine. It stimulates the production of synovial liquid, acting as a spongy shock absorber, and pushes the nutrients into the cartilage. Many scientific studies have proven the beneficial actions of these two components. Used separately, the majority of the studies showed that they practically do not have any significant effect.
• Cat’s Claw increases not only the immune system function, but also proves to be useful in reducing inflammation. This plant is also used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers discovered that Cat’s Claw contains anti-arthritic compounds.

Q. Is Inflamgo difficult to digest or cause digestive problems in elderly or sensitive people?

Q. What type of pain may Inflamgo help to attenuate?

• Bursitis;
• Tendonitis
• Epicondylitis: “Tennis elbow”;
• Post-traumatic injuries;
• Sporting injuries of all types.

• Repair or replace damaged tissue;
• Relieve pain;
• Reduce inflammatory process: Redness, edema and other symptoms related to inflammation;
• Reduce rigidity. It will help raise the level of synovial fluid in the joints; helping with pain and mobility;
• Long term benefits.

Q.  Does Inflamgo generate dependancy?

• A long term use doesn't generate dependency. In the event of crisis, Inflamgo can be  used up to 4 times a day, without risk of overdose.
• Inflamgo may be used on a daily basis as a preventive health program.

• Arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis: When pain is extreme, the use of Allevia allows pain reduction while waiting for Inflamgo to produce its long term effects;
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: it is strongly suggested to combine this product with B-Balance. This syndrome is often related to a deficiency in certain vitamins of the B Complex. Allevia may also help to relieve pain;
• Gout: During a crisis, the use of Uritonik is essential to work at the renal system level and to support uric acid elimination. It is important to drink an adequate quantity of water when using this product. When the crisis has passed, the use of D-Toxi is needed to purify the system and to reduce risk of another attack;
• Fibromyalgia: Allevia allows to reduce the pain. The use of AntiOxy Bio is essential since this syndrome is often catalyzed by excessive oxidation. Blitz would also be able to help if the patient is exhausted;
• Sporting injuries: tennis elbow, bursitis, tendonitis or accidents: Allevia will be able to help relieve pain. Muscle Relax may contribute in relieving pain by releasing muscle strain and therefore, prevent the viscous circle of increased→strain→pain.
