Can AIO help symptoms associated with inflammation, such as arthritis or other autoimmune disorders?

Yes, the ingredients in AIO working synergistically, and have been shown to help the symptoms of inflammation. The trigger of inflammation is “Nuclear Factor Kappa Beta”. This is found in the cytoplasm of our cells. The vitamin and fruit blends of AIO work together to turn off Nuclear Factor Kappa Beta and help decrease the symptoms of inflammation in diseases such as arthritis.

Are people on low fiber diets because of Chronic Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Crohn’s Disease, able to consume AIO?
