Standard Dose
Timing
Cycle Duration
Evidence LevelLimited-ModerateModerate-Strong

Mechanism

Fatty acid ester with anti-inflammatory and joint-lubricating properties. Modulates immune response by inhibiting 5-lipoxygenase and modulating prostaglandin synthesis. Reduces joint inflammation and improves range of motion in arthritic conditions.

Contraindications

  • Severe liver disease

Mechanism

Phospholipid concentrated in brain cell membranes. Supports neurotransmitter production (acetylcholine, dopamine), cortisol regulation, and membrane fluidity. Improves cognitive function, reduces exercise-induced cortisol, and supports HPA axis recovery.

Contraindications

  • Soy allergy (if soy-derived — use sunflower-derived instead)
