New Chapter Zyflamend Ingredients
Holy Basil 150mg - Tulsi or Holy Basil contains the active ingredient ursolic acid, currently most studies have been done with doses between 300 and 3000mg as concentrated extracts and up to 14g per day for the standard plant. [1] Whilst Holy Basil has been shown to be effective in multiple trials, for inflammation and even further medical therapy, meaning the 150mg in new chapter Zyflamend is too low.
Turmeric 100mg - Turmeric's active ingredient curcumin is particularly good for healthy joint function and reducing inflammation, however, curcumin is normally dosed at 500mg for inflammation and it typically only makes up less than 10% of standard turmeric meaning that new chapter Zyflamend doesn't have a high enough dose to be within the ideal ranges to reduce inflammation. [2]
Ginger 75mg - Ginger again is another good ingredient at nowhere near the correct dosage in Zyflamend for joint support, most studies have it's effective range at 3grams although some extracts such as eurovita 77 can be effective at 255mg, however, it's still far more than is in Zyflamend. [3]
Chinese Skullcap 100mg - Chinese skullcap is generally not very well backed in humans only really in mice. [4]
Lemon Balm 85mg - There's some scientific backing for using lemon balm for inflammation, [5] but it is relatively limited. It's more well backed as a sleep aid.
Camomile 75mg - Chamomile is cited as having anti-inflammatory effects, and is generally backed as an effective topical, and particularly for throat inflammation [6], we couldn't find much information to suggest it's effective as a supplement for joint health, or what the ideal dosage would be.
Valerian 40mg - Valerian root bark is normally used as a sleeping aid, valerenic acid and valerenol (compounds within valerian root) have been shown to impact the GABA receptors which aid sleep. It doesn't really do anything for joints though.
Hops 75mg - Similar to Valerian root, it's good for sleep and anxiety etc, doesn't really do much for healthy inflammation response though.
