Boswellia Phytosome is boswellia extract that has been chemically bound to phospholipids to increase its absorption. Casperome® – its trade name – has been clinically studied to determine its ability to provide a healthy balance of inflammatory cytokines, which are the chemical messengers that control the responses of the immune system. These studies have shown that Boswellia phytosome supports a healthy inflammatory response in the respiratory tract and the GI tract, as well as in the joints, muscles, and tendons.* Boswellia phytosome also helps balance the cerebral inflammatory response to protect brain tissue.*

Boswellia phytosome provides superior absorption compared to non-complexed boswellia.* In fact, plasma levels of boswellic acids were 3-7 times higher for the phytosome preparation depending on which boswellic acid was analyzed.* The phytosome preparation also produced tissue levels from 3-35 times higher.* Thorne's Boswellia Phytosome contains a full spectrum of boswellic acids.

Black cumin seed oil is particularly effective at balancing both immune and inflammatory responses, which is critical to guarding our health as we age. With its broad spectrum of active compounds, our Black Cumin Seed Oil does double duty — supporting a healthy immune system and facilitating a healthy inflammatory response. So get powerful support for your health by adding Black Cumin Seed Oil to your supplement regimen today!

Benefits at a Glance:

• Helps inhibit inflammatory factors
• Promotes optimal immune system function
• Helps maintain healthy aging immune systems
• Balances immune and inflammatory responses

Immune health, inflammatory response, and aging

Finding a way to balance immune support and healthy inflammatory response are essential for maintaining optimal health in normal aging. That's where a unique oil derived from the seeds of the black cumin plant come into play. Black cumin seed oil has been scientifically shown to be uniquely effective at balancing both immune support and healthy inflammatory response because of a wide range of active compounds that benefit human health.

Supports a healthy inflammatory response 

A healthy response to inflammatory factors is a crucial part of preserving robust health. In a wide-ranging series of studies, black cumin seed oil has been shown to support the effectiveness of many biological factors that contribute to the body's normal inflammatory activity, including those critical cell-signaling chemicals and hormone-like messengers.

Boosts the immune system

Studies also show that black cumin seed oil supports immune health by facilitating optimal function of a healthy, aging immune system. It does this by supporting the vital defensive activities of macrophages and helper T-cells that work together to bolster your immune defenses.

Two essential functions in one supplement

Quercetin, one of the two primary ingredients in Thorne's Quercetin Complex, stabilizes the body's mast cells, which store and release histamine, so it supports individuals who suffer from allergies.*

Quercetin appears to have many other beneficial effects on human health, including protection of the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system, where it scavenges free radicals and inhibits oxidation of LDL cholesterol.*

Thorne's Quercetin Complex combines quercetin phytosome (quercetin bound to sunflower-sourced phospholipids, which increases the body's ability to absorb the quercetin) and bromelain, a compound of protein-digesting enzymes derived from the pineapple plant.* Bromelain also has immune-enhancing properties because it contains constituents that help maintain a healthy cytokine balance.* Bromelain helps reduce bruising and swelling after an injury or surgery.*

A number of quercetin's positive effects appear to be due to its antioxidant activity.* By itself, and paired with vitamin C, quercetin can reduce the incidence of oxidative damage to the skin and nerves caused by the natural depletion of glutathione.*

The advantage of quercetin phytosome is its advanced phytosome technology. Phytosome complexes are created by a patented process that binds a botanical extract to a phospholipid, which are key components of every cell membrane.

Bromelain, which is a mixture of proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes from the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus), has been shown to promote healing and reduce temporary and minor swelling and bruising following an injury or a surgical procedure – including dental surgery.* One study of patients with bone fractures found bromelain decreased swelling.*

Bromelain exerts some of its positive effects because of its significant proteolytic activity.* Plastic surgeons have shown interest in bromelain because of its ability to increase the resorption rate of hematomas following surgery.*

Mitochondrial NRG™ a synergistic blend of nutrients and botanicals designed to support the mitochondria, which is known as “the powerhouse of the cell.”* This cell component is primarily responsible for producing more than 90% of the energy (or adenosine triphosphate [ATP]) for cells and associated tissues. Efficient and optimally functioning mitochondria can support normal energy levels, healthy body composition, vitality, and overall health.*
