Background: Cyclooxygenase (COX) is an enzyme naturally present in our bodies. There are two forms of the COX enzyme.
COX-1 is involved in protecting the stomach lining, regulating blood flow within the kidneys, and balancing platelet function. COX-1 is always present in the body and should not be inhibited.
COX-2 is an enzyme that is necessary for inducing pain. The COX-2 enzyme is produced on a limited basis; however, factors such as poor diet, chronic illness, stress, or injury can increase COX-2 production. When COX-2 is over produced on a continual basis, constant pain is experienced. Inhibiting COX-2 can help relieve muscle and joint discomfort.
Traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen) work by blocking Cox-2, but they also inevitably block Cox-1. When both enzymes are blocked, side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding and inhibited blood clotting develop.
Currently, there is only one Cox-2 inhibitor on the market that does not inhibit Cox-1, namely celecoxib (Celebrex). It appears to be a safer alternative to NSAIDs, since it dramatically reduces the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and abnormal blood clotting. However, Cox-2 inhibitors have recently come under fire. Both rofecoxib (Vioxx®) and valdecoxib (Bextra®) were removed from the market by the FDA because of reports of heart attacks and/or stroke during use.
Jigsaw Health Cox-2 Support uses natural plant extracts to regulate Cox-2 levels while also promoting cardiovascular health.
