Take me to the survey...

And now, back to the science...

What, exactly, is inflammation?

Inflammation is the body’s response to pathogens, damaged cells and other irritants.  Inflammation is not the same as infection, but rather the natural biological response to infection.  If left unchecked, however, inflammation can lead to more serious problems.  Inflammation has been linked to allergies, asthma, hypersensitivity, cancer, arthritis, and other diseases.

What can I do about inflammation?

Doctor Lucy Yu, a member of our medical advisory board and a food scientist from the University of Maryland, focuses her studies on enzymology, food chemistry and nutraceuticals.  Her research has shown that, among other things, the ingredients in Ease offer strong support for our bodies’ natural inflammation response.  Dr. Yu’s research was key to the development of the formulation for Ease. 

What's in it for me?

Ease is a potent blend of two seed oils selected for their strong anti-inflammatory properties.

Black cumin seed has a long history of supporting immune health in the Middle East, Asia and parts of Europe. It contains nigellone, which works as an antihistamine to provide allergy relief, and thymoquinone, which has anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to these two powerful components, Black cumin seed oil is high in essential fatty acids that protect and repair cell membranes. 

Red raspberry seed is rich in antioxidants, polyunsaturated fats, and contains high levels of Vitamin E in a variety of forms. Research shows red raspberry seed oil possesses anti-inflammatory capabilities. As a result of its strong nutritional components, Red raspberry seed oil offers broad antioxidant protection in addition to its healthy inflammation benefits.

What's the difference between Ease and Core?

The primary difference between Ease and Core is the type of raspberry seed chosen for each product's formulation.  Core uses black raspberry seed oil, which has more immune-boosting properties.  Ease uses red raspberry seed oil, which has stronger inflammation-support properties.   Core works best for overall immune-system support, while Ease is the better choice for those concerned with joint health.

What about my other joint supplements?

Many of our customers feel that Ease supports their joint health enough that they do not need additional supplements.  If you currently take other joint supplements, we recommend starting Ease and gradually phasing out your other supplements to a level that you are comfortable with.
