MOXXOR - A Product Review?
MOXXOR is quite a newcomer to the marketplace and is touted to be the World's most Powerful Omega3 and Antioxidant available. MOXXOR is made from New Zealand Greenlip Mussels, which are shown to have the highest concentration of Omega3 essential oils on the planet. According to the company's research it is so powerful that one tiny capsule of MOXXOR has the equivalent anti-inflammatory benefits of just over 60 large, generic, fish oil capsules. It is 247 times more powerful than salmon oil!
The greenlip mussels in this product come from the pristine environment of New Zealand and from the remarkable testimonies that are being shared, it seems that the company's claims are very accurate. This product also has the addition of one of the worlds most powerful Antioxidants, derived only from the grape seed husk of the sauvignon grapes grown in the Marlborough region of New Zealand.
Dr Scott Graham states that "MOXXOR is like nothing else out there" and this is a big reason that he became involved with the company. Dr Graham is a Diplomat of the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery and the Department Head of Orthopedic Surgery at Saddleback Hospital in Southern California. In addition to his role at Saddleback, Dr Graham practices Orthopedic Surgery at seven medical facilities throughout Southern California. One of Dr Graham’s specializations and passions is in sports medicine. He is now on the MOXXOR Medical Advisory Board as he has a strong belief in this product.
Dr Graham states that Omega3s and Antioxidants are valuable for everyone to be using, not only those with an immediate medical condition, and he spends a great deal of his time educating people about why this is so. This article will examine some reasons why Dr Graham believes that MOXXOR is such a breakthrough.
So, What Are Omega3s?
Basically, Omega3s are really the foundation of every cell in the body and when you look at every cell membrane of every cell in the body, it is supported by phospho-lipids. These are basically what Omega3s are. So they are like the framework of the cell.
When a cell is weakened either from free radicals, oxidative stress, an injury from working out, from tissue damage, from auto immune problems like Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chron’s disease or Psoriasis, they basically release enzymes which start an inflammatory cascade. This cascade is a series of events within the body, whereby at the end , what you feel is pain.
So, what Omega3s do is essentially go to the cell membrane and stabilize the cell to help prevent this cascade from transpiring. Omega3s are widely used in preventative medicine because they assist in the prevention of inflammation.
A Brief Look At Anti-Oxidants
Antioxidants help protect cells within the body from damage by free radicals. Free radicals are basically electrons that don’t have a partner, and they are looking to connect with another cell in order to steal one of its electrons. What they do is bind to cells and then damage them. So, a free radical will come in, having an affinity for cells, damage that cell and then cause the inflammatory cascade.
What Antioxidants do is grab that free radical and attach to it before it can cause any cellular damage. This is a very simple explanation of why Antioxidants are preventative and also why they are very important in anti-aging medicine; because they help to defend each cell.
Inflammation
Inflammation really is causative of almost every disease process out there; whether it’s Coronary Artery Disease, Alzheimer’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis or skin disorders… all these things are fundamentally based with inflammation.
What medical doctors will typically do is focus on the end of the inflammatory cascade, because this is what the patient is complaining of… ‘my knee hurts, my back hurts, my head hurts’. So, they give medications that come in and stop that from happening, and when the inflammatory cascade is stopped, patients don’t feel the pain.
It’s very normal, in medicine, to write prescriptions for people who come in with pain, but it is important that we see a shift in this type of treatment, towards a more holistic approach. People are increasingly becoming educated about the negative side effects of such drugs and also of the positive health benefits that quality Omega3s and Anti-Oxidants provide.
The thing about prescription medication, or that which is available over the counter at the pharmacy, is that although they are really good at blocking the inflammatory cascade, a side effect is that they can block other cascades also. A common problem, especially for people who use a prescription anti-inflammatory over a period of time, is the blocking of the protective mucosa of the GI system, which is basically the stomach. If this happens, patients might present with dyspepsia or reflux, or they may even get ulcers. Between over-the-counter anti-inflammatories and prescription anti-inflammatories, about 30,000 - 34,000 people die a year from bleeding ulcers or kidney disease in the USA. This is really a significant problem and it’s not as well known as it really should be.
Another process that can be negatively affected from taking anti-inflammatories is the Renal system, which is basically your kidneys. When someone is on an anti-inflammatory for about 3 months, they should have their blood checked to make sure that they don’t have a decrease in their renal function. This is extremely important!
COX-2 Inhibitors
To address public concerns over the increase in deaths attributed to using anti-inflammatory medication, some drug companies tried to develop a new drug without these negative effects. This is where COX-2 inhibitors came from.
COX-2 inhibitors were hailed as a breakthrough when they first came out, because they were great as an anti-inflammatory and they had fewer incidences of GI problems. BUT, what started happening is that more people started having cardiac events. And so there was a higher incidence of heart attacks because it was inhibiting some normal function of the cardiovascular system.
So, when you look at medicine, allopathic or general medicine really forms only one side of the equation, while preventative or holistic medicine is on the opposite side of the equation. Preventative or holistic medicine is really preventing the cell from being damaged in the first place, or stabilizing the cell so there’s a reduced risk of the cascade occurring. No inflammatory cascade equals no pain.

Frequently Asked Questions...
do we really need helmets and protective gears when we play football with our friends?
i'm in 8th grade and after school we start playing football, we don't really use any protective gears. couple weeks ago, one guy had a dislocated knee, i got tackled and basically fainted... and 2 weeks ago, a guy got sacked, tore up his lips and broke his wrist.
i was wondering if these injuries had anything to do with not wear protective gears?
Answer:
Nothing would've prevented those injuries. Knee pads have nothing to do with dislocated knees, the only thing that would've prevented that is a knee brace, which are $250-$300 each. Nobody wears protection for wrists, but the little pads they do make (not mandatory and not used during organized play) could have absorbed the impact if he fell on it with his forearm and back of his hand hitting down. Helmets actually increase the chances of concussions. Concussions are caused by the head quickly jolting in a certain direction. Helmets are made very rounded so when two helmets collide, they jolt back and slide off of each other. This decreases neck injuries but increases concussions, which is likely what you had seeing as how you blacked out.
