New Enzyme Product Offers a Natural Alternative to Dangerous Arthritis Medications

A new product developed by New Chapter has been found to be a safe alternative to Cox-2 inhibitors and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as Vioxx, Celebrex and Bextra.

Consumers searching for alternatives to Cox-2 inhibitors such as Vioxx, Celebrex, Bextra and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)will be encouraged with the effectiveness of this safe and natural alternative.

New Chapter has extensively researched the herbal and medical databases and discovered that the following time-tested herbs, properly extracted and blended in the correct proportions, contain at least 8 nutrients that may safely and significantly inhibit COX-2 without the dangerous side effects of shown by NSAID drugs.

  • HOLY BASIL (Ocimum sanctum) Contains the powerful COX-2 inhibitor ursolic acid, which significantly enhances detoxification and reduces inflammation.

  • TURMERIC Unique curcumin phytonutrient complex, naturally inhibits inflammatory COX-2; synergistic with green tea, significantly multiplying anti-inflammatory effect of green tea polyphenols.

  • GINGER Supercritical extract inhibits both inflammatory COX and 5-LO and offers numerous anti-aging constituents.

  • GREEN TEA Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences report green tea polyphenols markedly reduce COX-2. Major university database notes green tea contains 51 anti-inflammatory phytonutrients.

  • ROSEMARY Dual extracts offer highly concentrated, full spectrum, COX-2 inhibition and support detoxification.

  • HU ZHANG (Polygonum cuspidatum) Richest known resveratrol source, shown scientifically to inhibit inflammatory COX-2.

  • CHINESE GOLDTHREAD AND BARBERRY Unique berberine phytonutrient complex, naturally inhibits inflammatory COX-2.*

  • OREGANO Source of large number of anti-inflammatory compounds according to USDA database.*

  • SCUTELLARIA Unique baicalin phytonutrient complex, naturally inhibits inflammatory COX-2.


Inflammation is one of the most damaging things that occurs to human beings over time, and as we age.

A variety of illnesses are exacerbated by inflammation - including arthritis, heart disease, Alzheimer's disease and even cancer.

It has been a goal of many scientists and physicians to find a side- effect-free substance to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with various diseases.

Dr. Grisanti's Comments

Although I promote identifying the underlying cause of a health problem, I am not against using natural treatments to decrease pain and improve the quality of life while the cause of the health condition is being addressed.

With that in mind, I have found a good product that has proven to be quite effective in relieving arthritic pain. The product is called Zyflamend
