Curcumin is the primary bioactive substance in turmeric
Acts at the cellular level on inflammation and oxidation
Curcumin relieves muscle pain after physical exercise and improves recovery and performance in active people
Curcumin Health Benefits
Anti-inflammatory Activity
Systemic inflammation has been associated with many conditions that affect several systems, one of which is metabolic syndrome (MetS), which includes insulin resistance, hyperglycaemia, hypertension, bad cholesterol (LDL), high triglyceride levels and obesity, especially visceral.
Improves Insulin Sensitivity
Curcumin can reduce blood glucose level by reducing the hepatic glucose production, suppression of hyperglycemia-induced inflammatory state, stimulation of glucose uptake by up-regulation of GLUT4, GLUT2 and GLUT3 genes expressions, activation of AMP kinase, promoting the PPAR ligand-binding activity, stimulation of insulin secretion from pancreatic tissues, improvement in pancreatic cell function, and reduction of insulin resistance1.
Lowers High Blood Pressure
Consuming curcumin helps to improve the Systolic Blood Pressure, when administered in long durations 2. By preventing free radical damage and promoting smoother blood flow, it maintains the health of blood vessels. Researchers claim that curcumin hinders the transit of calcium, which is necessary for the contraction of muscle cells, leading to artery dilatation.
Relieves Muscle Pain
The use of curcumin reduces the subjective perception of the intensity of muscle pain; reduces muscle damage; increases muscle performance; has an anti-inflammatory effect 5.
Improves Recovery and Performance
Various curcumin-based interventions have improved self-perceived measures of pain and tenderness, reduced evidence of muscle damage 6.
Effective
Medical curcumin comes only in one form, and that is the extract. Treat your anti-inflammation, and muscle recovery, 100% naturally with nature’s most synergistic functional food, combining the power of pomegranate, curcumin extract, and micellized Vitamin D3. Does not contain any additives. Instead uses a biomimetic mode of absorption by natural micelle structure.
Typical forms of curcumin are poorly absorbed during digestion, and rapidly metabolized and eliminated, which is why medical professionals typically prescribe curcumin with ingredients such as piperine to increase its bioavailability.
Clean & Natural
We cultivate organically because we truly care about the planet and we are committed to sustaining its biodiversity. Turmeric cultivation is highly sustainable if done right. This unique plant does not require a great set of resources for its upbringing and is self-protective against various diseases and infections, which practically means a zero chemical footprint.
Beyond Organic
We produce turmeric with highly sustainable practices and free of any pesticide contaminants that are bad for you. Our actions make sure that there is no damage to air, water, land, soil, forests, and other living organisms.
Sports Performance
Reduced triglyceride levels and a decline in salivary amylase, an enzyme that serves as a stress indicator, were observed in studies in healthy adults between the ages of 40 and 60 who received a daily dose of 80 mg of curcumin. Curcumin supplementation can decrease the subjective perception of muscle pain intensity, and increase antioxidant capacity, which reduces muscle damage when consumed close to exercise 7.
Fast Absorption
Our curcumin extract is 185 times more bioavailable (AUC 24h) than anything out there. It’s high bioavailability ensures that it will be absorbed into your body in as little as 66 minutes (versus up to 450 minutes for native curcumin) and will last as long as 24 hours (versus approximately 2 hours for native curcumin). It is confirmed by nutritional scientists based on 3 human clinical trials.
