NSI Bromelain capsules - One of the strongest bromelain capsule products for the money, each capsule contains 500mg of 2000GDU (gelatin digesting units) bromelain per gram. Using bromelain products in capsules instead of tablets is usually important since bromelain tablets are often sprayed with isopropyl alcohol before packaging. Bromelain, an enzyme derived from pineapple, is often used to fight inflammation and pain and since it is non-acidic, can be used in serving sizes as large as necessary. It is also often used to prevent clotting and thin the blood.

NSI Allergy Shield contains vitamin C and bioflavanoids, mostly quercetin, which lowers histamine response to relieve allergy symptoms. It also contains a great deal of MSM, methyl sulfonyl methane, a sulfur rich compound which also helps against allergies. See the Allergy Regimen for more information.

NSI Activated Quercetin Complex contains primarily quercetin, a bioflavonoid that acts as an antihistamine, so allergic reactions and symptoms may be reduced. Vitamin C works synergistically with quercetin to provide antioxidant and immunity benefits; it's also useful in promoting healthier skin and blood vessels, as well as increased healing time for wounds. Bromelain also assists in the reduction of allergic symptoms. It's a natural enzyme derived from pineapple that supports improved digestion of proteins and other foods, and it helps enhance the assimilation of herbs, vitamins and other nutrients. Finally, magnesium is also used since it provides additional antihistamine properties and supports overall muscle and nerve function. See the Allergy Regimen for more information.

NSI Origanox is a patented oregano extract that is a water-soluble antioxidant. Origanox possesses numerous free radical-scavenging properties, may support anti-inflammatory responses and acts as a microbial and antifungal agent. A recent Georgetown University Medical Center study* published in the medical literature indicates oregano is highly effective at killing numerous bacteria, viruses and fungi-more than any other natural compound tested. Origanox contains rosmarinic acid, which has been found to reduce cardiotoxicity in patients taking a popular anti-tumor drug. The October 2005 edition of Biochemical Pharmacology published results** from a study that proved rosmarinic acid can inhibit ADR-induced apoptosis (cell death) in certain cardiac muscle cells.
