Optimend is ACTIVZ’ solution to pain and unhealthy inflammation. Healthy inflammation is part of the body’s natural defense system and is designed to combat viruses, bacteria and injury. It’s the body’s way of “purging by fire.” Unfortunately, excessive inflammation can cause a barrage of unfavorable side effects like heat/fever, swelling and pain that can cause damage to the body’s own tissues. Even worse, chronic or “silent” inflammation is now considered to be a major cause of most of the chronic health conditions and diseases we suffer from. This is the fire that is burning in your cells that needs to be extinguished. By balancing inflammation and reducing aches and pains, you can extinguish your body’s cellular fire and free your body to move and perform exactly the way it was meant to.
