Board certified in internal medicine and rheumatology, Alexander Shikhman, MD, is author of the book “Gluten Nation” and creator of Gluten-Free Remedies, a line of all natural gluten-free supplements that help treat the complications that can arise from celiac disease and gut-related disorders. Dr. Shikhman is also the founder of the Institute for Specialized Medicine, the nation’s first clinic of integrative rheumatology. Gluten-free himself, Dr. Shikhman specializes in the connection between gluten and autoimmune diseases.
Dr. Shikhman created Gluten-Free Remedies in order to provide worry-free, safe options for the gluten intolerant and immunocompromised community. For many who are genetically predisposed to gluten sensitivity, a gluten-free diet can provide miraculous relief. However, without gluten the body can struggle to get the critical nutrients it needs. The best way to compensate for the lack of nutrients is to take the right supplements. Gluten-Free Remedies has become the go-to source for many people looking to safely eliminate gluten from their diets while moving their bodies toward better health.

This highly considered blend was developed by our advisor, Dr. Alexander Shikhman, MD. Boswellia is an aromatic resin obtained from the Indian tree, Boswellia serrata, which has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to control pain and inflammation. The main biologically active ingredient of boswellia is boswellic acid.
Current research shows that boswellic acid expresses strong anti-inflammatory activity and inhibits leukocyte migration, suppresses antibody production and inhibits activation of classical and alternative complement pathways. In addition, boswellic acid expresses analgesic activity, prevents degradation of cartilage matrix and reduces bronchospasm.
Curcumin [1, 7-bis (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1, 6 heptadiene-3, 5-dione] is an orange-yellow component of turmeric (Curcuma longa), a spice often found in curry powder. Curcumin possesses a variety of biologic and pharmacologic activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-carcinogenic ones.
It induces detoxifying enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase, and as such may find application as a cancer prevention agent. Curcumin is a potent inhibitor of COX-2, lipooxygenase, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), nuclear factor-kB, c-Jun N-terminal kinase and protein kinase C and has also been demonstrated to play a vital role against pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative diseases.

Developed by our advisor, Dr. Alexander Shikhman, MD, Gluten-Free Remedies' Vegan Digestive Enzymes are a proprietary blend of high potency digestive enzymes produced through controlled fermentation of select microbial species. This full spectrum, high activity digestive formula aids in the breakdown of protein, carbohydrate and fat.
They're enhanced with specialized enzymes for the digestion of fibers, sugars, and other normally indigestible plant constituents, improving the bioavailability and nutritional value of fruit, vegetable and grain nutrients while reducing the discomfort sometimes experienced from these foods. In addition, these enzymes remain stable through a range of pH levels and are therefore not destroyed in the stomach.
