What is Limbrel
Limbrel is the first prescription product
developed and formulated specifically to safely meet the distinctive nutritional requirements of
patients with osteoarthritis through dual inhibition (COX + LOX) of arachidonic acid metabolization and anti-oxidant
action rather than COX-2 selective inhibition. Clinical studies have shown Limbrel to be effective in
safely managing the unique nutritional needs of osteoarthritis with side effects comparable to placebo.
Limbrel contains flavocoxid, a proprietary blend of natural ingredients from phytochemical food source
materials. Flavocoxid is comprised primarily of the flavonoids such as baicalin and catechin. These or
similar ingredients can be found in common foods such as soy, peanuts, cauliflower, kale, apples,
apricots, cocoa and green tea. The fact that these and similar ingredients have been widely researched
and used in medicinal products in other countries also supports biacalin and catechin’s safety and
effectiveness. Limbrel provides levels of these flavonoids needed to meet the distinctive nutritional
requirements of people with osteoarthritis and cannot be obtained through simply changing the diet.
Because Limbrel’s ingredients have been derived from natural plant sources, they are not synthetic
or artificial. Limbrel is manufactured according to FDA (Food and Drug Administration) current Good
Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) for prescription drugs.
FDA regulations require that Limbrel be used only under a physician’s supervision and therefore,
it is available by prescription only.
