Nutrigenomics and natural products chemistry are integral parts of the WellGen research process in studying how natural products can provide solutions for diseases related to inflammation.
Clinical support for WellGen® theaflavin- rich black tea concentrate:
Human Clinical Study 1:
Systemic Inflammation Study LPS (lipopolysaccharide)- mediated challenge exposes the inflammation cascade and is a fundamental pharmaceutical inflammation probe.
Key findings
- Reduces expression of pro-inflammatory mRNA and cytokines/chemokines proteins
- Inflammatory biomarker levels ranging between two-to-four fold less than the placebo group
- Elevation of immuno-modulatory cytokine IL-10
Human Clinical Study 2:
Exercise-induced Inflammation - Test the effects in high-intensity anaerobic exercise on:
- Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
- Oxidative stress
- Cortisol response
- Inflammatory biomarkers
Key findings
- Reduces damage and inflammation due to exercise related stress
- Promotes rapid post-exercise recovery
- Improves capacity to exercise
- Reduces oxidative stress markers
- Relieves delayed onset muscle soreness due
