Metagenics’ research published in journal

July 1, 2008 — Metagenics Inc. announced the publication of a scientific paper, “Safety, efficacy and anti-inflammatory activity of rho iso-alpha-acids from hops,” in the May issue of Phytochemistry, the International Journal of Plant Chemistry, Plant Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

 

Previous work by the Metagenics MetaProteomics nutrigenomics research center had identified a defined mixture of rho iso-alpha-acids (RIAA), a derivative of hops (Humulus lupulus L.), as a potent and selective COX-2 inhibitor. The Phytochemistry paper summarizes the results of several new studies conducted by Metagenics evaluating the efficacy and safety of RIAA.
