product facts

Globally, Turmeric (Curcuma Longa) is one of the most celebrated nutraceuticals around today. This traditional Indian spice has been made world famous over the centuries for its use in curries, but also for its incredible health benefits discovered by Ayurvedic medicine. Few botanicals can boast the extensive portfolio of positive research to back its regular consumption like turmeric can, where a daily supplement provides the perfect way to ensure you receive all the health benefits on offer.

turmeric’s incredible health potential

Some of the key reasons why turmeric is thought to be so supportive of wellbeing is down to its active ingredients demethoxycurcumin, bis-demethoxycurcumin and most importantly curcumin itself. Collectively, these curcuminoids have been found to have a profound impact on inflammatory pathways, helping to relieve symptoms of pain, redness and irritation. Specifically, these actives are thought to selectively inhibit the arachidonic cascade, through lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways. In addition, much has been made of curcumins ability to blunt NFKB, an inflammatory cytokine which is associated with numerous deleterious health conditions. Over the last 20 years, research has slowly identified that many health conditions are a direct result of inflammatory processes in the body (like heart disease, brain health, cancer & arthritis), therefore, Turmeric’s ability to support health and wellbeing is thought to be far reaching.

who can benefit?

Almost anyone and that’s the beauty of Turmeric. Over the years, many people have taken the super spice to help reduce swelling and discomfort in joints, making Turmeric a popular addition to any glucosamine or fish oil supplement. Additionally, Turmeric has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties lending itself perfectly to gut health or as part of an anti-candida regime. A terrific free radical scavenger, Turmeric has also been heralded as an anti-ageing marvel amongst many top experts.

the power of Black Pepper

Unfortunately regular turmeric is limited by poor solubility and low bioavailability at the gut, however, help is at hand. This super supplement benefits from 5mg of science backed Black Pepper per capsule, a dose that has been shown to bio-enhance the features of a number of therapeutic agents including Turmeric. Furthermore, Black Pepper has been shown to increase thermogenesis, a process that supports fat burning & enhanced nutrient absorption.
