InflammaCORE® Strawberry by Ortho Molecular Products

This is for active adults with achy joints after training, people tracking hs-CRP (a blood marker of whole‑body inflammation) that runs high, or anyone rebuilding gut resilience after antibiotics or GI upset. The 19 g protein helps daily intake, while vitamin D3 at 2,000 IU suits maintenance if your Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy is low-normal. If your level is meaningfully low, you’ll likely need a higher D3 dose short term, then step back to this.

L-glutamine (2.5 g) fuels intestinal cells and can steady the gut barrier, while arabinogalactan (a fermentable fiber from larch) feeds beneficial bacteria. Curcuminoids from turmeric, gingerols from ginger, quercetin, and EGCG from green tea dampen NF-κB (a switch that turns on inflammation genes) and temper COX/LOX enzyme signaling that drives soreness. Quercetin can also stabilize mast cells (immune cells that release histamine). MCTs provide quick fuel, and flax ALA gives some omega-3 precursor, though it won’t replace fish oil for triglycerides or the Omega-3 Index.

Mix two scoops with 8–10 oz water or non-dairy milk once daily. Take with a snack or meal to be gentler on the stomach, and use earlier in the day if sensitive to green tea extracts. Expect any triglyceride or hs-CRP changes to show up over 4 to 12 weeks. This is a maintenance vitamin D dose; if repleting, adjust D3 separately with your clinician.

Turmeric, ginger, and green tea extracts can have mild blood-thinning effects; use caution with warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, clopidogrel, or daily aspirin. Space by 4 hours from levothyroxine or certain antibiotics, since the iron can bind them. Those with bee or propolis allergy should avoid it. If you’ve had liver enzyme elevations, keep alcohol low and take with food, as concentrated green tea catechins can stress the liver in rare cases. History of calcium oxalate kidney stones or hemochromatosis warrants clinician input.
