  • Publication number: 20210251934
    Abstract: Anti-inflammatory compositions that merely treat symptoms of inflammation and not its root causes have frequently been shown to impair healing processes and exacerbate disease. The present disclosure includes novel compositions, combinations and methods of treatment that overcome this shortcoming by down regulating excessive inflammation and by activating cellular functions supporting healing processes.
