Inflameze Ultra – Curcumin + ParActin Joint Comfort | 50 Vegetarian Capsules
Inflameze Ultra is a joint comfort supplement with 500 mg of turmeric root extract (Curcumin C3 Complex®), 300 mg of organic ParActin® andrographis leaf extract, 250 mg of organic ginger root and 5 mg of BioPerine® black pepper extract in every 2-capsule serving. Each bottle holds 50 vegetarian capsules, or 25 servings. It supports joint comfort, and its curcumin has been studied for muscle comfort after exercise.†
Inflameze Ultra is for people whose plans still involve stairs, trails and heavy bags of potting soil: the 40-year-old back in the gym, the 55-year-old who would rather garden than sit. It keeps the formula short (four active ingredients) and pairs 500 mg of turmeric extract with the black pepper extract that helps curcumin absorb.†
Aging isn't optional. Getting old is. Your joints carry you through every decade, and the habits that keep them moving (strength work, walking, sleep, decent food) pay off most when you start in your 30s and 40s. Inflameze Ultra is one small, steady part of that routine, not a replacement for it.
Why people take Inflameze Ultra
- Supports joint comfort, the claim printed on the side of every bottle.†
- Brings 500 mg of Curcumin C3 Complex turmeric extract per serving, and curcumin has been studied for muscle comfort after hard exercise (the evidence is mixed).†
- Pairs that curcumin with BioPerine black pepper extract, which helps the body absorb curcumin.†
- Rounds out the joint comfort formula with two organic botanicals: 300 mg of ParActin andrographis leaf extract and 250 mg of ginger root.†

How Inflameze Ultra works
Straight talk first: nobody has run a clinical trial on Inflameze Ultra as a finished formula. The research below is on single ingredients, usually in other forms and amounts.
Curcumin C3 Complex: 500 mg of turmeric root extract
Turmeric is the golden root behind curry's color, and curcuminoids are the compounds that make it gold. Curcumin C3 Complex is a branded turmeric root extract built around three curcuminoids: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. One 2-capsule serving gives you 500 mg of it.
What the research shows: an umbrella review of meta-analyses of randomized trials rated curcumin's effect on muscle soreness after muscle-damaging exercise as moderate-certainty evidence.† What it doesn't: a 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis that included 16 studies found no statistically significant effect on post-exercise soreness, muscle damage markers or inflammation markers at any time point it measured. Both reviews pooled many curcumin forms and doses, so read them as background, not a promise for this capsule.
BioPerine: 5 mg of black pepper extract
Curcumin doesn't stick around: the gut wall and liver tag it for removal almost as fast as it arrives. Piperine, the compound that gives black pepper its bite, slows one of those tagging steps (a process called glucuronidation). In a 1998 study in healthy human volunteers, 2 grams of plain curcumin alone left blood levels undetectable or very low, while adding 20 mg of piperine raised curcumin's bioavailability by 2,000%.
Inflameze Ultra keeps that same 1-to-100 ratio (5 mg to 500 mg) at a quarter of the amounts. The study used plain curcumin, not Curcumin C3 Complex, and we haven't found one at our exact amounts, so read the 2,000% as proof of concept, not a number for this bottle.
Organic ParActin andrographis: 300 mg
Andrographis paniculata is a leafy herb. ParActin is a trademarked extract of its leaf, and the one in Inflameze Ultra is organic, per the label. The label names its bioactive marker the "14-Neo-Andro Compound." Researchers describe four major active compounds in the plant, all diterpenoids, including andrographolide, neoandrographolide and 14-deoxyandrographolide.
Do they get into your body? In a study of 20 healthy adults who took andrographis capsules three times a day for three days, all four of the plant's main diterpenoids showed up in the blood, and dose for dose, exposure to neoandrographolide and 14-deoxyandrographolide ran about 1.5 and 1.6 times that of andrographolide. That study used a different andrographis product and shows absorption, not how your knees feel. We haven't found a ParActin trial in healthy adults we'd stand behind, so we don't quote results here.
Organic ginger root: 250 mg
This is the same knobby root in your spice drawer, and the label lists it as ginger root, not an extract. A systematic review of randomized trials in exercise and sport concluded that roughly 2 grams of ginger a day may modestly ease muscle soreness from hard eccentric lifting and long runs, especially when taken for at least 5 days, with no clear effect on things like oxygen use or muscle force.† In a randomized, double-blind trial in 32 experienced recreational runners, 1.425 grams a day of ginger root for 5 days likely blunted the rise in soreness while jogging after a 40-minute downhill run, but likely made no meaningful difference to 1.5-mile run times.
Honest math: 250 mg is an eighth of 2 grams. In Inflameze Ultra, ginger is a supporting player; the formula is built around the curcumin and the andrographis.
How to take Inflameze Ultra
One serving is 2 capsules, according to the Supplement Facts panel, and the bottle holds 25 servings. Follow the directions and any warnings printed on your bottle.
A practical note: if you also take another Inflameze or Joint Solution formula, add up the turmeric before you stack them (the FAQ below does the math).
Ask your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. If you take prescription medication, including blood thinners, show your practitioner or pharmacist the Supplement Facts panel before you start.
Don't take our word for it
We've been making supplements in Oregon since 1974. That's 52 years, and we're not getting old either. Here's what stands behind every bottle of Inflameze Ultra.
- Verified by independent labs. ISO 17025-accredited labs check our test results.
- Every ingredient lot tested before use. Federal rules only require an identity test on incoming dietary ingredients. We test every incoming lot, from the turmeric extract to the ginger root, for identity, potency, heavy metals and microbes.
- If it misses spec, it doesn't go in a bottle. More than 99% of our tests pass, and the lots that don't are turned away.
- A certificate of analysis for every lot. Every lot of Inflameze Ultra gets its own.
Made in the USA. Made and tested in Mt. Angel, Oregon. Mt. Angel is a farm town of about 3,500 people in the Willamette Valley. Our UL-certified cGMP facility there keeps formulators, makers and testers under one roof, and the owners work in the building too.
Frequently asked questions
How many Inflameze Ultra capsules are in a serving?
Two. The Supplement Facts panel lists a serving as 2 capsules, and each 50-capsule bottle holds 25 servings. Follow the directions printed on your bottle for how often to take it.
How long before I notice a difference?
There's no set timeline, and we won't make one up. Give Inflameze Ultra a few weeks of steady use at the label's serving, and judge it by your normal week: the stairs, the hike, the yard work.†
Which Inflameze is right for me?
It depends on how you like your turmeric. The original Inflameze spreads each capsule across seven ingredients, including boswellia, bromelain and 50 mg of Curcumin C3 Complex. Inflameze Advanced centers on 250 mg of CurcuWIN curcumin complex per capsule, plus a blend that includes boswellia and bromelain. Inflameze Ultra has 500 mg of Curcumin C3 Complex per 2-capsule serving with ParActin, organic ginger root and BioPerine, and no boswellia or bromelain. We would pick one, since all three contain turmeric.
Can I take it with MSM 2000 or Joint Solution Advanced?
Yes, with a little arithmetic. MSM 2000 is a single ingredient (2,000 mg of MSM per tablet), so nothing overlaps. A full 4-capsule serving of Joint Solution Advanced adds 100 mg of Curcumin C3 Complex on top of Ultra's 500 mg, and its label states it contains glucosamine from crab shell. Run any stack past your practitioner.
What makes ParActin different from plain andrographis powder?
ParActin is a leaf extract, not just dried, ground leaf. The panel lists it as a trademarked Andrographis paniculata leaf extract and names its bioactive marker, the "14-Neo-Andro Compound." Ours is organic, per the label.
Is Inflameze Ultra safe to take with medication?
Ask your healthcare practitioner first, and bring the Supplement Facts panel. Piperine from BioPerine slows one of the steps the liver and gut use to clear compounds, which is how it raises curcumin levels, and it may change how your body handles some medications too.
