Our overall wellness is a direct expression of the health of our cells. When our cells are damaged or begin to age, their membranes start to break down. As this happens, compounds that are contained within the cell walls are released into the cellular matrix. Substances such as histamine can increase inflammation and in turn the pain associated with it.

In order to halt the inflammation and damage at the cellular level, it’s useful to look at limiting our toxic load (such as environmental and toxic chemicals), reducing stress, and incorporating antioxidant-rich foods.  Adding foundational natural supplements to your daily regime can also play a significant role in reducing inflammation and improving health at the cellular level.

A case in point is PURICA Recovery® for pain relief and whole-body health (or PURICA Recovery 3.0 for rapid relief of inflammation and healing).

PURICA Recovery® is a synergistic, comprehensive formula with a proven 20-year track record that works in three ways:

1. Reduce inflammation
2. Repair tissue
3. Stabilize membranes by enhancing cellular health and, in turn, the framework of your body formed by epithelial, connective, muscular and skeletal tissues.

PURICA Recovery® works on strength of the synergy of its ingredients:

• MSM, a natural sulfur that is essential in the maintenance of healthy joints and connective tissue;

• The naturally-occurring Glucosamine HCL, which is found in fluid around the joints, supports the structural framework of healthy joints and promotes mobility and flexibility;

• Water soluble Vitamin C, which helps produce collagen and is essential to the health and integrity of our cells, also lowers levels of c-reactive protein, which is a marker for inflammation;

• Vitamin E, which protects your cell walls from oxidative damage, is essential to the integrity of your exterior cells;

• Magnesium, which plays a role in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body and is vital for bone strength and relieving muscle tightness;

• Hyaluronic acid (HA), cushions your joints and nerve tissues, helps to stabilize fluid breakdown within joints, nourishes articular cartilage and is essential to synovial fluid;

• Betaine HCL, which improves digestion by increasing stomach acid levels while decreasing intestinal permeability, can also help to decrease pain associated with lactic acid build;

• Hyperberry formula, a powerful concentrated antioxidant formula of blackberries, blueberries, cranberries and raspberries to protect against cell damage by guarding the cells from reactions with free radicals;

• Nutricol®, a proprietary blend of grape seed extract and green tea that provides a synergistic mechanism required to halt inflammation in its earliest stages, strengthens the cell wall to stop damage from ongoing inflammation and restrict the process that leads to tissue breakdown.

Working together, these ingredients we can actually halt damage at the cellular level, initiate better cell receptivity and stabilize cell matrix. That’s the very intention behind PURICA Recovery: to work at a cellular level to not only curb damage before it’s a problem, but to teach the cells to better respond to inflammation, improve healing and to protect, regenerate and rebuild. It’s this “multi-tasking” that not only makes PURICA Recovery effective for pain relief — back pain, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain, injury or surgery rehabilitation — but allows it to serve as a foundational product for whole body health.

The next generation formulation PURICA Recovery 3.0 is powered by Curcumin BioBMCD30, which is 30% bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), compared to 1% BDMC found in regular Curcumin extract providing a powerful anti-inflammatory. Given that stress and inflammation are often linked together, it is notable that the ingredient organic ashwagandha (Sensoril) reduces cortisol levels and works in tandem with the medicinal mushroom Chaga. Both ingredients help the body better adapt to the effects of stress, such as fatigue, sleeplessness, irritability and inability to concentrate. The recommended dosage is two capsules twice a day with noticeable impact within hours. It also facilitates connective tissue formation and in the healing of wounds, and helps in collagen formation and the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and or gums.
PURICA Recovery 3.0 can work in conjunction with the original PURICA Recovery or on its own as a powerful anti-inflammatory to facilitate the healing process.
