How Omega XL Works?

Omega XL contains a compound named “PCSO-524” which is allegedly extract from the green-lipped mussel from New Zealand. PCSO-524 is basically composed of many fatty acids that are believed to work together to relieve pain and fight inflammation found in lipoxygenase (LOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways. In the complex process, the fatty acids compete with arachidonic acid (notorious for inflammation) for entry to the pathways. By so doing, it displaces the inflammation causing agents. By effectively tackling inflammation, pain is reduced.
