knee-painExecutive Summary

Every day, millions silently suffer from chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, and a creeping sense that their health is slipping away. What many don’t realize is that these symptoms are not isolated problems—they are signs of an underlying fire in the body: chronic, low-grade inflammation (Furman et al., 2019; Nat Med).

Science now confirms what functional medicine has long taught: silent inflammation is the hidden driver of nearly every major chronic disease—including cardiovascular disease, dementia, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, arthritis, and autoimmune conditions (Libby, 2021; NEJM; Heneka et al., 2015; Lancet Neurol).

If you are living with chronic musculoskeletal pain—back pain, joint stiffness, fibromyalgia, or everyday aches—you already have chronic inflammation (Berenbaum, 2013; Ann Rheum Dis). Left unaddressed, that inflammation will not stay confined to your muscles and joints. It sets the stage for long-term damage throughout your entire body.

That’s why I developed Inflam-95, a professional-grade blend of four scientifically validated botanical extracts:

  • Turmeric root extract (95% curcuminoids)
  • Boswellia serrata (65% boswellic acids)
  • Ginger root extract (5% gingerols and shogaols)
  • Stinging nettle leaf extract

This unique formula does more than dull pain—it addresses the root cause by calming silent inflammation, restoring balance to the immune system, and protecting the brain, heart, and metabolism (Gupta et al., 2013; Kimmatkar et al., 2003; Grzanna et al., 2005).

Part I. The Silent Epidemic: Inflammation as the Root of Modern Disease

What Is Inflammation?

  • Acute inflammation is your body’s healing response—like swelling around a cut or infection.
  • Chronic inflammation smolders quietly, day after day, damaging tissues, blood vessels, and nerves (Medzhitov, 2008; Nature).

The Toll of Silent Inflammation

Chronic, low-grade inflammation is now recognized as the common soil of disease:

  • Heart disease and stroke: inflammatory damage to artery walls fuels plaque buildup (Libby, 2021; NEJM).
  • Alzheimer’s and dementia: inflamed microglia destroy neurons (Heneka et al., 2015; Lancet Neurol).
  • Diabetes and metabolic syndrome: inflammatory cytokines block insulin action (Shoelson et al., 2006; J Clin Invest).
  • Arthritis and pain: joint tissue breakdown and pain result from inflammatory cascades (Berenbaum, 2013; Ann Rheum Dis).

Part II. The Pain–Inflammation–Disease Connection

Why Pain Is More Than a Local Problem

Chronic pain is not simply mechanical “wear and tear.” It is the result of immune-mediated  inflammation, and those same molecules can harm your brain, arteries, and pancreas (Straub & Schradin, 2016; Brain Behav Immun).

Why Conventional Treatment Falls Short

  • NSAIDs mask pain but often worsen gut and cardiovascular risk (Antman et al., 2007; Circulation).
  • Steroids suppress inflammation temporarily but with high cost (Stuck et al., 1989; NEJM).
  • Surgery/injections may help structure but not systemic inflammation.

Part III. Nature’s Answer: Evidence-Based Botanicals

  1. Turmeric (Curcumin 95%)
  • Blocks NF-κB, reducing inflammatory signaling (Gupta et al., 2013; J Clin Immunol).
  • RCTs show improved joint pain and reduced CRP (Daily et al., 2016; Phytother Res).
  • Neuroprotective: improves memory in older adults (Small et al., 2018; Am J Geriatr Psychiatry).
  1. Boswellia serrata (65% Boswellic Acids)
  • Inhibits 5-LOX, reducing leukotrienes (Ammon, 2016; Planta Med).
  • Clinical trial: reduced arthritis pain and improved joint function (Kimmatkar et al., 2003; Phytomedicine).
  1. Ginger Root (5% Gingerols & Shogaols)
  • Dual inhibition of COX & LOX pathways (Grzanna et al., 2005; J Med Food).
  • RCTs show reduction in osteoarthritis pain (Bartels et al., 2015; Osteoarthritis Cartilage).
  1. Stinging Nettle Leaf
  • Modulates TNF-α and NF-κB (Chrubasik et al., 2007; Phytomedicine).
  • Traditionally used for arthritis relief; studies show anti-inflammatory cytokine effects (Riehemann et al., 1999; FEBS Lett).

Part IV. Why Inflam-95 Works

The synergy of these four botanicals provides:

  • Multi-pathway action (NF-κB, COX, LOX, cytokines).
  • Comprehensive relief: pain reduction plus systemic inflammation control.
  • Protective benefits against cognitive decline, cardiovascular risk, and metabolic dysfunction (Gupta et al., 2013; Ammon, 2016).

Part V. Who Should Use Inflam-95?

  • Anyone with chronic musculoskeletal pain (arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain).
  • Anyone with risk factors for heart disease, dementia, or diabetes.
  • Anyone seeking healthy aging through inflammation control.

Conclusion: Take Control—There Is Hope

If you live with chronic pain, you are not only dealing with sore joints—you are living with a systemic inflammatory condition that raises your risk for the most feared diseases of our time.

Inflam-95 gives you the ability to act now. It is not just a supplement; it is a tool to reduce suffering today and protect your brain, heart, and future health.
