Active Ingredients used for Mechanical Complication Of Other Specified Prosthetic Device Implant And Graft:

Bromelain, Dandelion, Licorice And Dgl, Omega 3 Fatty Acids Fish Oil Alpha Linolenic Acid, Turmeric And Curcumin

Active Ingredient	Uses based on scientific evidence	Grade*
bromelain	several preliminary studies suggest that when taken by mouth, bromelain can reduce inflammation or pain caused by inflammation. better quality studies are needed to confirm these results.	b
dandelion (taraxacum officinale)	research in laboratory animals suggests that dandelion root may possess anti-inflammatory properties. there is a lack of well-conducted human studies currently available in this area.	c
licorice (glycyrrhiza glabra l.) and dgl (deglycyrrhizinated licorice)	many medical conditions are marked by inflammation. because licorice can affect the metabolism of steroids, licorice is sometimes used to help decrease inflammation. additional study is needed to make a firm recommendation.	c
omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil, alpha-linolenic acid	research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation. scientists believe that their anti-inflammatory effects may help protect against heart disease.	b
turmeric (curcuma longa linn.) and curcumin	laboratory and animal studies show anti-inflammatory activity of turmeric and its constituent curcumin. reliable human research is lacking.	c
