Neutralize a Lethal Enzyme

Life Extension has an excellent report on neutralizing the 5-LOX (5-lipoxygenase) enzyme that is the cause of many of the health problems we discuss as important to avoid...especially inflammation and elevated arachidonic acid as a result of eating the wrong foods.

Must read.

Hi Jackie,

Thank you for this reference, this product sounds very interesting. Since it contains Boron, I assume one would discontinue dosing with current levels of Boron. I am now taking 3 mg of Now Boron. Also curious if you know of any restrictions on combining with other supplements.

Louise... in the book, Encyclopedia of Nutritional Supplements (Michael T. Murray, ND), it says that "There is no RDA for boron. A daily intake of 1.5 milligrams to 3.0 mg is safe and probably more than adequate.

Under Dosage Range, it says... In order to guarantee adequate boron levels, supplementing the diet with a daily dose of 3 to 9 milligrams is indicated, especially in individuals at risk for osteoporosis.

Safety: Orally administered boron is extremely safe when taken at recommended levels of 3 to 9 mg a day. Problems such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea occur only at extremely high doses >500 mg/day.

Interactions: There are no known interactions with boron and any nutrient or drug."

Thank you, Jackie. This information is most helpful.
