Curcuthera is a hypoallergenic, bioavailable curcumin supplement containing Meriva®. The most well studied curcumin extract on the market, Meriva® is 29x more bioavailable than other curcumin extracts. This is due to the patented Phytosome® delivery technology, which encapsulates the active ingredient in naturally-occurring phospholipids to support absorption.
Background
The herb, turmeric, has a long history of use in Indian cooking, as well as in Ayurvedic medicine as a tonifying and healing herb. Current research has revealed that the active ingredient in turmeric, curcumin, supports a healthy inflammatory response in the body and possesses powerful antioxidant activity. By encapsulating curcumin into soy-free lecithin, which is an integral part of the lipid membrane in human cells, the body is able to easily absorb and integrate Curcuthera to be utilized throughout the body.
Mechanisms of Action
One of curcumin’s most well-researched effects is its ability to inhibit TNF-alpha and decrease the generation of NF-kappa B, a protein that influences the genetic code to produce inflammatory cytokines.
Conclusion
Dosing is an important consideration for maximizing the benefits of curcumin. Currently, it is known that doses exceeding 12,000 mg are well tolerated;20 however, doses of 1,000 mg have been studied for their role in supporting healthy inflammation.†21 Curcuthera’s patented Phytosome® delivery system allows for maximum absorption and utilization of curcumin to promote a balanced and healthy inflammatory response.
