Extinguishes Inflammation

Arthritis, cancer, heart attacks, allergies, bowel disease, Alzheimer’s, and dozens of other conditions all have one thing in common - inflammation. Inflammation, noted by pain, heat, redness and swelling is the body's first defense against infection and injury. But when the flames of inflammation run out of control deadly consequences arise.

Celadrin, a blend of special fatty acids, is one of the most effective, natural anti-inflammatories. Both humans and animals have shown remarkable benefits of reduced pain and swelling, increased movement and reduction of inflammatory factors when using Celadrin.

Results of a double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled trial (the most scientifically validated type) published in the prestigious Journal of Rheumatology found that Celadrin when taken orally improved joint and mobility problems.

Sixty-four participants between the ages of 37 to 77 were given Celadrin capsules. They were evaluated at the beginning, at 30 days and at the end of the 68 day study. Compared to the placebo Celadrin shined. Participants had more flexibility, less aches and pain and were able to walk longer distances than the placebo group.

Anti-Inflammatory Cream

Research performed at the University of Connecticut involving 42 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee received either Celadrin applied topically or a placebo. The patients were evaluated before application of the cream and then 30 minutes after and then again following a 30-day treatment period where the cream was applied twice a day morning and evening. The researchers evaluated physical function, postural sway, pain, and range of motion.

Test of physical function included a timed assessment of how long it took to get up and go from a chain, stair climbing, muscle strength and endurance, and mobility of the knee. The group receiving Celadrin had outstanding results with reduced pain and stiffness, improved balance and strength and better mobility. What was the most exciting was that within 30 minutes of applying Celadrin patients experienced a dramatic improvement in all aspects tested.

No difference was noted in the ability to extend the leg between groups. Results of this study were published in the Journal of Rheumatology. Another study was performed as an extension of the previous study using Celadrin cream confirmed earlier research with improvement in elbow, wrist and knee mobility and significant reduction in pain. This study has been submitted for publication.

Persons using both oral and cream form of Celadrin have found much faster improvement in pain, swelling and mobility than using just the cream alone.

Celadrin and Psoriasis

Another double-blind, placebo-controlled study using Celadrin cream for the treatment of psoriasis was performed over a 14 day period. Patients were asked to apply the cream to the affected area twice a day. Initial severity of skin scales, patchiness, redness, dryness, crack and raised skin were recorded. Then after 7 and 14 days each patient visited the dermatologist who evaluated skin improvement.

Each patient experienced a two level improvement based on the 6-point Liker scale (0 = no improvement, 5 = significant improvement). This small pilot study found that those persons using Celadrin cream experienced measurable improvement in their psoriatic condition. Psoriasis is a difficult inflammatory skin condition to treat. We can use this data to help those with eczema and other skin conditions halt inflammation and heal the skin.

Reports from those using Celadrin have sparked the interest in another area of skin healing. A study is underway looking at Celadrin's effect in reducing wrinkles in the skin. It makes sense that this cream would have a positive effect on wrinkles due to its anti-inflammatory action. By calming the skin and halting inflammation that we can reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Celadrin is also currently being researched for the treatment of gingivitis, another common inflammatory disorder.

How Celadrin Works

Celadrin works similarly too, but much more dramatically than the essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA from fish oils. Fatty acids provide many vital beneficial effects for the immune and inflammatory responses of the body.

Various fatty acids induce changes in the cell membranes and the responsiveness of the membrane to certain immune factors. They also play a role in suppressing inflammatory cell functions, decreasing cartilage breakdown, triggering of cell death and, like NSAIDS reducing the inflammatory activities of the COX-2 enzyme.

The esterified (meaning it is stable and does not react with oxygen) fatty acids present in Celadrin have pronounced anti-inflammatory effects, such as the inhibition of the endothelial cells (thin cells that line the inside of some body cavities) and decreasing the pro-inflammatory effects of the other fatty acids.

The special fatty acids found in Celadrin have also been shown to reduce the production of the negative immune factor IL-6 and to control other immune factors responsible for inflammation. This alone could explain some effects of Celadrin, such as reduction of pain in joints affected by osteoarthritis. And certainly, these functions are very important in preventing further tissue and joint damage while promoting healing.

Additionally, the molecules found in Celadrin may also play a role in lubrication of an affected joint. This action combined with anti-inflammatory effects, explain some of the significant improvements in mobility and function.

Such combined effects would appear to be occurring through the application of Celadrin cream in psoriasis. Also, these special fatty acids have been shown to reduce skin inflammation, while also providing a sustained emollient effect at the site of psoriasis.

It also works by inhibiting arachidonic acid, one of the main promoters of the inflammatory cascade of immune factors by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase, another mediator of inflammation. It may also alter cellular membranes protecting them from the action of inflammatory cytokines or by reducing the secretion of inflammatory cytokines and CRP.

Celadrin and Glucosamine Combined

Glucosamine has been clinically studied and shown to increase range of motion and relieve pain at the same rate as ibuprofen. Glucosamine assists in rebuilding cartilage and the overall structure of the joint. The wear on the joint area can be attributed to inflammation as well as insufficient lubrication and cell membrane fluidity.

Celadrin provides continuous lubrication and allows the cell membrane to repel inflammatory messengers from the immune system. Celadrin stops the cascade of inflammation and the assaults on the membrane which cause it to stiffen. Celadrin empowers glucosamine to perform faster and more efficiently in building joint cartilage. The dual action of Celadrin and glucosamine will provide rapid joint cushioning, quickly alleviate inflammation, build cartilage and restore the entire joint area.
