http://www.eckloniacava.com/arthritis.html Quote: "Comparable to Celebrex .Ecklonia Cavaâs ability to treat arthritis has been found to be comparable to Celebrex, the prescription drug that reduces inflammatory enzymes known as "COX" enzymes. . The influence of ECE on the generation of inflammatory prostaglandins known as PGE2 was studied. ECE, celecoxib (Celebrex) and aspirin all showed considerable inhibition of PGE2 generation in the concentration range tested. More exclusively, ECE showed inhibition of 61%, 85%, 92% and 99% at concentrations of 10, 30, 60 and 100 g/mL correspondingly, showing similar activity to celecoxib which showed 65%, 79%, 85% and 96%"
