Phytoprofen is a combination of botanicals, including a synergistic blend of the Ayurvedic herbs Picrorhiza, Boswellia, and curcumin (from turmeric) all of which support the body's normal inflammatory response. To these botanicals is added bromelain a protein digesting enzyme complex from pineapple that studies have shown can help reduce bruising after injury.

The botanical extracts in Phytoprofen also help minimize post-operative / post-injury bruising and swelling. Supplementation with bromelain following blunt injuries to the musculoskeletal system resulted in reductions in swelling and tenderness.

PREGNANCY WARNING

INTERACTIONS
Because bromelain has fibrinolytic effects, potentially inhibiting blood clotting, Phytoprofen should be used with caution or avoided in individuals on anticoagulant therapy or prior to surgery.

Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research reveals curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

It is not recommended to remove the Phytoprofen powder from the capsule to take orally, as it can be irritating to the oral mucosa.
