Inflammatone Ingredients
A line-by-line look at what's inside Designs for Health Inflammatone, including active components and excipients.
Inflammatone's formula is multi-arm by design: four to seven herbal extracts targeting different parts of the inflammatory cascade, plus two proteolytic enzymes traditionally used for swelling and soft-tissue recovery. The exact extract weights, standardizations (curcuminoid percentages, baicalin content, GDU and PU enzyme activity) are on the current Supplement Facts panel and should be read off the bottle.
Active Ingredients
The active constituents and what each one is doing in the formula:
- Turmeric (Curcuma longa) root extract, standardized for curcuminoids — the most-studied anti-inflammatory botanical; broad COX-2, LOX, and NF-kappa B effects
- Ginger (Zingiber officinale) root extract — overlaps with turmeric on COX inhibition and adds antiemetic and prostaglandin effects
- Scutellaria baicalensis root extract, typically standardized for baicalin — flavonoid-driven cytokine modulation
- Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaf extract — carnosic-acid polyphenols with antioxidant and mild COX activity
- Sesame seed lignans (sesamin and sesamolin) — polyphenol contribution
- Holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) leaf extract — adaptogenic and mild COX-modulating activity
- Bromelain — proteolytic enzyme from pineapple stem; the classical herbalist choice for post-injury swelling
- Papain — proteolytic enzyme from papaya; complementary protease activity, traditionally paired with bromelain
Other Ingredients (Excipients)
The excipient list is short and typical of the Designs for Health line: a vegetable (hypromellose) capsule shell plus standard flow agents such as microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable stearate (a plant-derived alternative to magnesium stearate), and silicon dioxide. No added sugars, artificial colors, or flavors. The current label is the authoritative source for the exact other-ingredients list, since Designs for Health updates excipients across reformulations.
Allergens and Sensitivities
Inflammatone is labeled gluten-free and non-GMO, and the capsule shell is plant-derived hypromellose, which makes it suitable for vegetarians and generally for vegans. It is typically free of dairy and soy. The two notable allergen considerations are the enzyme components: bromelain is sourced from pineapple, and papain from papaya — users with confirmed pineapple, papaya, latex, or kiwi allergies (cross-reactivity is possible) should approach the product with caution and clinician input.

How Ingredients Compare to Similar Products
A standalone high-bioavailability curcumin product (Meriva, Longvida, BCM-95, Theracurmin) delivers a larger curcumin dose per capsule and a tighter clinical evidence base on curcumin itself. A standalone boswellia product targets the LOX arm specifically. Inflammatone is the broader multi-arm bet — less curcumin per capsule than a dedicated curcumin product, but coverage across COX, LOX, NF-kappa B, and proteolytic effects in a single formula. It also adds the enzyme component that pure botanical formulas lack. The right pick depends on whether you want a focused, well-studied single-ingredient with a higher dose, or a broader multi-ingredient bet that touches more pathways at moderate doses each.
