Description

Turmeric

It is one of the most revered plants. Though originated in the Indian subcontinent, but today it is used worldwide as a health food supplement, spice, natural food colorant and even as a cosmetic ingredient.

Curcuminoids

Much of the credit for the popularity of turmeric goes to the ancient texts of Ayurveda written almost 2500 years ago, describing the benefits of turmeric. However, it is modern science which has made it possible for millions to get the health benefits from turmeric’s unique compounds. The product uses Curcumin C3 Complex obtained from the dried rhizomes of Curcuma longa (Turmeric) and standardized for minimum 95% Curcuminoids.

The name Curcumin C3 Complex has reference to its three main chemical compounds: Curcumin, Demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC)—collectively known as "Curcuminoids." Curcuminoids from Curcumin C3 Complex are powerful antioxidants

Curcuminoids from Curcumin C3 Complex (Turmeric extract) relieve temporary joint inflammation and pain that may occur after overexertion during intensive physical activity

Curcuminoids support overall wellness and good health.

BioPerine

BioPerine improves the absorption and bioavailability of curcuminoids. Curcuminoids have been scientifically proven to be powerful antioxidants preventing the formation of free radicals and neutralizing already-formed free radicals, i.e., higher ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value than green tea extract, green coffee extract and grape seed extract. Curcuminoids are therefore considered to be a "bio-protectant" due to its dual activity of prevention and intervention of free radicals.

Support Your Overall Wellness and Good Health

Curcuminoids may also relieve temporary joint inflammation and pain that occur after overexertion during intensive physical activity. From mode of action point of view, Arachidonic Acid is broken down via two major pathways (Arachidonic Acid Cascades).

AA cascade via Cyclooxygenase, or COX pathway, generates inflammation-causing Prostaglandins and Thromboxanes, and AA cascade via Lipoxygenase or LOX pathway, generates inflammation-causing Leukotrienes. Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) becomes abundant in activated/stimulated macrophages and other cells at sites of inflammation. Curcuminoids naturally inhibit COX and LOX enzymes.

BioPerine is a patented natural extract from black pepper fruit which improves the absorption and bioavailability of nutrients. The non-specific mechanisms for improving rapid absorption of nutrients may include increased blood supply to the GI tract, increased active nutrient transport by modulating efflux mechanisms (P-glycoprotein inhibition) and inhibition of solubilization by modulating metabolizing enzymes (glucuronidation).
