SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Neem's phospholipase a2 inhibition provides anti-inflammatory activity at the most upstream point of the arachidonic acid cascade โ before arachidonic acid is even released from membrane phospholipids, preventing the entire downstream cox and lox inflammatory pathway. this upstream inhibition provides theoretically more comprehensive inflammation prevention than cox or lox inhibitors acting downstream.
