Inflammation caused by our own immune system when body recognizes invaders such as invading microbe, plant pollen, etc. which may protect your health in intermittent bouts. However, sometimes, inflammation keeps going even when you are not threatened by a foreign invader, like enjoying a spring with pollen allergic. Many more diseases including cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and Alzheimer’s have been linked to chronic inflammation.

Researchers in nutrition and public health department have experimented that components of nature ingredients may have anti-inflammatory effects. However, foods with large high sugar and high calories should avoided, instead, green leafy vegetables, nuts, fatty fish and fruits should be taken regularly. But did you know the eggshell membrane proteins have also played anti-inflammation effects? This is based on our R&D results in anti-inflammation assay.

We use NFkB (Nuclear Factor kappa B) as an indicator for our fluorescent assays. NFkB is expressed in most animal/ human cell types and plays a key role in the inflammatory response. This is a primary transcription factor with “rapid effect” (because of already present in the cytoplasm). NFkB can be activated and translocates in the nucleus rapidly in response to harmful signals (including pro-inflammatory signals).
