I have been an integrative physician for over twenty-five years and I am the founder of one of the nation’s leading networks of integrative health care professionals. In my professional opinion, New Chapter’s Zyflamend® is the premier herbal strategy for total body health. I say this because modern science now recognizes that the health of major organ systems – immune, cardiovascular, metabolic, skeletal, the
brain– is intimately connected to a healthy inflammation response, and Zyflamend represents the finest herbal approach to supporting a well-functioning inflammatory process. I also have confidence in Zyflamend because it provides the finest extracts of select herbs that are time-tested, by many millions of people for thousands of years, for efficacy and safety. And as a physician, it is also of great importance to me that Zyflamend is supported by scientific research from respected research centers such as Columbia University and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Simply put, I recommend Zyflamend with enthusiasm to physicians and patients alike. Here are the most frequently asked questions I have encountered with Zyflamend and some brief answers.
Zyflamend is a combination of ten herbs, most of which have been used for thousands of years by many millions of people to promote health and longevity. The herbs have been extracted and formulated in such a way as to maximize their effectiveness. According to recent market research data, Zyflamend is now the best selling general herbal formulation in the natural products industry.
What are the principal benefits of taking Zyflamend?
Zyflamend contains numerous constituents that modern science has recognized can promote a healthy inflammation response. A healthy inflammation response is a key to healthy joint function, long-term mental clarity, the cellular integrity of many organ systems, cardiovascular health, and even healthy blood sugar metabolism.
Please explain the difference between the herbal formula Zyflamend and COX-2 inhibiting drugs?
Zyflamend is not a drug, nor is it promoted as a substitute or alternative to drugs. Zyflamend is a combination of well known, time-tested and safe herbals including such spices as rosemary, oregano, ginger and turmeric. Drugs typically contain one synthetic molecule designed to impact one biochemical pathway. Pharmaceuticals like Vioxx® and Celebrex® are “selective” COX-2 inhibitors. Zyflamend is neither “selective” nor a drug. It was not formulated to disrupt just the COX-2 pathway, and the herbs in Zyflamend have shown a broad range of inflammation modulation. Herbs in Zyflamend are used by traditional medical systems and modern herbal formulators to support healthy cardiovascular functioning. One serving of Zyflamend for example delivers more than 6 milligrams of naturally-occurring resveratrol. This is greater than the amount existing in 6 glasses of wine!
I understand there is also a formula cal ed Zyflamend® PM. What is different about Zyflamend PM?
There are herbs in the basic Zyflamend formula that, for some people, may have a slightly stimulating effect if taken at night. The PM version of Zyflamend substitutes for those herbs other inflammation-modulating herbs like hops, chamomile and valerian, which are known to promote a deep and satisfying sleep.
Are there any specific recommendations on how to take Zyflamend?
As with any dietary supplement, I recommend letting your health care practitioner know in advance of your intention to take Zyflamend. Zyflamend is a concentrated herbal formulation containing some herbs that are pungent or spicy. To acclimate the system to these herbs and what we call Zyflamend’s “internal sauna” effect, it is recommended that you start Zyflamend by taking one capsule a day for the first two weeks and then increase to two capsules after two weeks of comfortable and regular use. If you have a very sensitive digestive system, or are uncomfortable with the sensation of digestive warmth that can accompany spicy food, we have a few additional suggestions. First, that sensation often diminishes and disappears after a short period. Second, you may want to take your Zyflamend capsules with a full meal and a glass of water. Most people who have sensitivity will find that these suggestions are sufficient. For those with extreme sensitivity, we recommend using the smaller Zyflamend doses available in our Zyflamend EasyCaps™ and Zyflamend Liquid. The Zyflamend EasyCaps are easier to swallow and one third the regular serving size, and the Zyflamend Liquid can be metered to individual preferences, so with them you can gently introduce smaller amounts of Zyflamend as you build up tolerance. Finally, the benefits of Zyflamend are also available in an evening formulation called Zyflamend PM, where many of the more stimulating herbs have been replaced with herbs that gently support restful sleep.
