Timing
Cycle Duration
Evidence LevelModerate-StrongModerate

Mechanism

Contains brutieridin and melitidin — statin-like HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors from bergamot orange. Activates AMPK, improves lipid profiles (reduces LDL, increases HDL), and has antioxidant effects. Supports cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Contraindications

  • Rhabdomyolysis risk if combined with high-dose statins without monitoring

Mechanism

Combination of bromelain, papain, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and pancreatin. Systemic enzyme therapy that degrades circulating immune complexes, reduces fibrin deposition, modulates cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha), and supports recovery from injury, surgery, and chronic inflammation.

Contraindications

  • Bleeding disorders
  • Pre-surgery
  • Severe liver or kidney disease
