Hey all,

My doc just asked me to start taking a Zyflamend, a natural-ish anti-inflammatory. Anyone tried it? Any success? Thanks as always.

I haven't heard of it. It seems like it would be worth a try, since it's pretty inexpensive. Is you doctor a traditional GI? I'm just curious since most GI's steer away from recommending natural products. I think it's great when they are open to other treatments besides traditional meds.

That's from New Chapter, it is a very good anti-inflammatory, my mother has used it but she asked the doctor If I could use it for my UC and the doctor said that it was too strong for me or something like that I can't really remember, that was about 3 years ago.

Thanks so much to you both. My doc practices integrative medicine - she's open to alternative therapies that could support my system. Sounds like a UC/Zyflamend study is needed! I'll report back if anything changes (or if anything DOESN'T change - I'm hoping to wean off Remi and 6-MP and STAY HEALTHY).

Best,

Jones

I know this original discussion was about 2 yrs ago but my mother recently found "Zyflamend" softgels by NewChapter and suggested I might try them for UC. 

Has anyone tried these recently (or ever)? 

How about another product called "min-inflamm" by pharmax?

I actually take Zyflamend every day... I take half the dosage, only 1 capsule per day and they don't have any negative effect on my U/C... haven't really noticed anything positive either, except for some relief of my joint pains :) I'd keep taking it for a while and see what happens..

Anyone else taking this? Ingredients seem to be good.

I tried it. I used to take a lot of New Chapter products. I like their products but I don't think it did anything for my UC.

Methotrexate was the only thing I was taking for my RA. But my rheumy took me off and put me on Prednisone. I tried to wean off that, but I had flare ups. Then I started taking Zyflamend. I took it for about three weeks before I began to wean myself off Prednisone again. This time it worked. It's only been a week but I feel pretty good. I bought the smaller gelcaps (Tiny Caps) because I'm a big baby and I don't like swallowing large pills. LOL!

I also take New Chapter's Wholemega Whole Fish oil and a few other supplements. My arthritis is pretty bad. At the worst times, I feel like someone beat me up with a hammer all over my body. But I've been able to control my RA with prescription drugs. As I get older, I realize I probably can't stay on these drugs much longer so I thought I'd try something totally different. I can't say Zyflamend will work for everyone, but it's working for me right now.
