product review: inflammacore

Made by Ortho Molecular Products InflammaCORE is a protein powder designed to alleviate intestinal inflammation. My doctor prescribed this for me, and though it's pricey, it's been a saving grace on my journey from how sick I felt just over a year ago. Packed with ingredients such as flax seed, green tea and turmeric it brings a well-rounded set of herbs to stimulate internal healing. 

Each serving has 19 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber in addition to 1,000 grams of Omega 3's. On top of it all, it's naturally sweetened with a touch of Stevia and it tastes delicious. Available in cherry, orange and banana creme, I myself prefer the banana creme. It pairs so yummy with all natural blueberry juice, coconut milk or chocolate almond milk with an added real banana as a dessert treat that takes care of my body.  Below is a listing from OrtoMolecular on the specific benefits of each herb. I've also seen many reviews on this product about how well it works, being a saving grace for a lot of patients with IBS. I myself can vouch for this product and highly recommend it to anyone struggling with inflammation problems.

Turmeric (Curcumin) 
This orange-colored spice, used for thousands of years in cooking and medicine, is rich in curcumin. In numerous studies, curcumin has been shown to have strong NFkB-modulating properties. NFkB plays a crucial role in inflammation. High activity levels of NFkB are associated with cell death and tissue damage. This broad-spectrum activity makes curcumin a great choice for supporting balanced inflammation in the body. 
Skullcap Root Extract 
Skullcap root has been used historically in Chinese medicine to support balance in the basic inflammatory response function and healthy immune function. Studies show skullcap is a strong scavenger of oxidative radicals, and is also able to promote balanced NFkB activity and maintain normal prostaglandin synthesis. 
Green Tea Extract (EGCG) 
EGCG, the most well-researched catechin in green tea, has been shown to protect cells from free radical damage and positively affect inflammatory response markers. 

Intestinal Reinforcement 
Efficacious amount of l-glutamine and glycine, amino acids crucial for mucosal regeneration and tissue repair. 

Immune System Balance 
Biologically active amount of vitamin D and arabinogalactan for support of proper immune function.
