Pain-X from Biogenesis provides nutritional and herbal support for the reduction of pain and inflammation. It contains DL phenylalanine (DLPA), which is reported to have antidepressant and analgesic (pain relieving) properties.

Pain reduction may occur through DLPAs ability to limit enkephalin degradation; the LPA portion acts as a precursor to the synthesis of norepinephrine and dopamine which may be explain its antidepressant activities. Pain-X formula combines DLPA with:

Boswellia - used in traditional Indian medicine for chronic rheumatic inflammation

Curcumin - used traditionally to treat sprains and inflammation, Curcumin has been shown to be as effective as cortisone or phenylbutazone but without the associated toxic side-effects

Bromelain - studies show that Bromelain has a wide variety of beneficial effects, including reducing inflammation in cases of joint disease/sports injury or trauma, and preventing swelling after trauma or surgery
