Fibro-Response™
is a formula that addresses several bodily
systems, such as energy levels, liver
detoxification, antioxidant defense, connective
tissues, brain/cognition, immune function,
and circulation. All of which are important
factors for those with fibromyalgia.
In Fibro-Response™,
Source Naturals has evaluated the underlying
causes of system imbalances in muscular
and skeletal metabolism to design a formula
that supports alignment and harmony in
the body’s interdependent systems
and functions.
 I've used FibroResponse for over a year and it helps the aching that I have from fibromyalgia tremendously. I had been ordering it from another site for much more, and am delighted that I found it for a good deal less on your site. I've had such good results from the FibroResponse that I decided to try some of the other nutritional supplements you carry. Thanks for making these available at very reasonable prices.

Fibro-Response for Fibromyalgia
Symptoms
Source Naturals Fibro-Response is a comprehensive
formula that soothes muscles and joints by supporting
oxygen supply and energy production. Without adequate
energy and oxygen, muscles become fatigued, achy,
and painful, something fibromyalgia sufferers are
all too familiar with.
Fibro-Response invigorates
muscles and joints by:
- Supporting oxygen supply and energy
production
- Providing powerful antioxidants for
healthy joints and connective tissue
- Assisting healthy liver function for
detoxification
- Supporting the immune system for the
restoration mechanism of overworked muscles
Why Use Fibro-Response?
The ingredients in Fibro-Response were carefully
selected to influence a range of body systems for
those with fibromyalgia. Some were included for their
combined effects with other ingredients, while some
play important roles in more than one body system
or symptom. For example:
Muscles and Energy Production
The word “fibro” means fiber or fibrous
tissue. Muscle fibers are actually long cells, which
individually look like fibers under a microscope.
All bundled together, these fibers are our muscles,
which need oxygen for optimum strength and function.
Muscle fibers are powered by adenosine triphosphate
(ATP), a compound popularly referred to as “the
energy molecule.” ATP supplies energy for all
the body’s myriad of physiological processes.
To provide this chemical energy, the body generates
and uses an amazing two to three pounds of ATP every
day, through a series of complex chemical reactions.
The two main energy production systems in the body,
which can be envisioned as “energy factories”
in cells are the Krebs cycle and the electron transport
chain that require sufficient nutrients to keep the
body’s systems running properly.
Joints and Connective Tissue
Healthy connective tissue is essential for proper
muscle function. MSM dietary sulfur supports the integrity
of connective tissue and joints. Vitamins and minerals
support myriad functions of the joints, such as Vitamin
D for cell and bone health; Vitamin A for antioxidant
function and bone formation; Vitamin C for tissue
growth and repair, antioxidants, and at least 300
metabolic functions; zinc for bone formation and immune
system strength; manganese for bone growth and formation
of cartilage and synovial joint fluid; and copper
for bone formation and healthy nerves and joints.
Humulex™ hops extract inhibits cyclooxygenase
enzyme-2 (COX-2) production. This keeps COX-2 from
converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandin E2(PG-E2),
a particular type of inflammatory prostaglandin. Inflammation
can be minimized on a cellular level.
Liver Support
The liver is one of the largest and most important
body organs. Its vital functions include clearing
the blood of toxins and producing bile, which aids
in fat digestion and carries waste products away from
the liver. Liver detoxification is necessary for muscle
and joint comfort. Silymarin from milk thistle seeds
is an important contributor to the support of healthy
liver function. N-acetyl cysteine serves as a precursor
to glutathione, a critical selenium-containing antioxidant
produced in the liver, which binds to toxins to help
remove them from the body. Alpha-lipoic acid and CoQ10
play important roles in supporting liver health because
the liver, among all its critical functions, needs
to generate an enormous amount of energy and these
are components of the body’s energy production
process. Fibro-Response also contains a classic Chinese
herbal combination traditionally used to harmonize
liver “chi” or “energy”.
Antioxidant Support
Antioxidants protect tissues and joints from highly
destructive molecules called free radicals. Alpha-lipoic
acid complements the antioxidant activity of beta
carotene and CoQ10. N-acetyl cysteine, best known
for supporting the liver, is also highly valued as
an antioxidant. Zinc, selenium and copper support
our natural defenses. Together, they provide an armory
of powerful antioxidants for joints and connective
tissue.
Nervous System Support
Ginkgo biloba is renowned for promoting blood flow
to the brain. This is crucial, since brain tissue
is very metabolically active, accounting for two percent
of our body weight, yet using 15 percent of our total
energy supply. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter
that may regulate the nervous system and support clear
focus. The herb skullcap and vitamin B-6 add further
support.
