Clinical Benefits: Metagenics Inflavonoid Sustained Care
- BCM-95 Tumeric has been supported by two clinical trials - for rheumatoid and osteoarthritis - and four bioavailability studies.6
- BCM-95 Turmeric and BosPure boswellia, in combination, have been found to significantly reduce pain and joint tenderness in patients with osteoarthritis: A randomised, controlled trial supplemented 28 osteoarthritic patients with BCM-95 Turmeric and BosPure in combination. Over the course of 12 weeks, 93% of patients saw an improvement in symptoms including pain, walking distance and joint tenderness.6 Devil’s claw exerts antinociceptive effects and Jamaica dogwood may alleviate pain by supporting local blood flow and inhibiting inflammatory enzymes.9
- Anti-inflammatory and tissue integrity: BosPure boswellia exerts an anti-inflammatory action via inhibition of the 5’-lipoxygenase enzyme and down-regulating TNFα.8,1Boswellia also reduces the cartilage degrading enzyme matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3),1 while devil’s claw inhibits MMP-2 and nitric oxide (NO) to protect against inflammatory joint destruction.9 BCM-95 turmeric exerts its anti-inflammatory action in a number of areas throughout the inflammatory cascade. BCM-95 inhibits NF-ƙB, reduces transcription of inflammatory genes such as COX-2 and inhibits proinflammatory compounds including IL-6, IL-8 and MMP-3.10,11

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Metagenics Inflavonoid Sustained Care
Pregnancy: contraindicated.
- Willow bark: it is generally not advised to use salicylate-containing medicines in pregnancy, as there is positive evidence of harmful effects on the foetus with salicylates, although no direct restrictions are known for willow bark.251 Use only under medical supervision.252,253,254,255
- Capsicum: it is recommended to avoid due to possible uterine stimulant effects.256 Also, observational research suggests that intake of raw capsicum peppers during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of sensitisation to inhalant allergens in children by the age of 2 years.257
Breastfeeding: professional supervision is recommended in breastfeeding.
- Willow bark: not advised during lactation as salicylates are excreted in breast milk and may lead to hypersensitivity reactions. Use only under professional supervision.258,259,260
- Capsicum can sometimes lead to dermatitis in breast-fed infants when mothers ingest foods heavily spiced with capsicum peppers.261
