CURCUMIN COMPLEX - Antioxidant
Curcumin Extract is a powerful antioxidant & anti-inflammatory nutrient
Curcumin complex, which is extracted from the spice turmeric, is recognised for its spectrum of important health benefits.
Curcumin is ground from the root of the Curcuma longa L. plant (see picture on the left), a member of the ginger family which grows wild in the Himalayas and across South Asia. This yellow spice, also known as turmeric, plays a central role in ethnic cuisine in those areas, giving the traditional dishes of these regions their characteristic yellow colour. This spice has been a component of Ayurvedic medicinal systems of India, China, Tibet and the Middle East for over 2000 years.
It is also a powerful antioxidant, and overall it is regarded as one of nature's best protector nutrients and body cleansers, and is the subject of a great deal of scientific research.
The problem with Curcumin is that, not only is it not efficiently absorbed by the body, but you have to eat quite a bit of it to get the good effects.
Both brands of Curcumin Complex that the Really Healthy Company offers contain 250mg of special highly absorbable curcumin complex. The Medpro formulation has added Resveratrol, whereas the Really Healthy formulation has added Quercetin, Bromelain as well as other enzymes, algae and Bioperine (black pepper extract for increased absorption).
