Conditions the symptoms
of which this product may help alleviate:
(please
read this important notice concerning supplement medical claims)
Anti-inflammatory
Turmeric's
active curcuminoids have been found in studies to possess considerable
anti-inflammatory activity, in part due to their ability to inhibit
the synthesis of inflammatory prostaglandins. In fact, when compared
to corticosteroids, turmeric extract displays an equal
anti-inflammatory capability in acute inflammation and is
approximately 50% as potent as corticosteroids in chronic
inflammation.
Anti-microbial
Current
scientific research shows that turmeric powerfully inhibits pathogenic
bacteria, viruses and fungi (including candida albicans, candida
kruseii, and candida parasilosis).
Liver
Tonic
Traditionally,
turmeric was used to support liver function and to treat jaundice in
both Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal medicine. Turmeric enhances
glutathione content and glutathione-S-transferase activity in the liver.
These substances are key protectors against the damaging effects of
toxins and free radicals.
Cell
Protective
Curcuminoids
exhibit various cell-protective actions including prevention of free
radical damage and initiating the destruction and inhibiting the
replication of damaged cells. In fact, studies have highlighted the
ability of curcuminoids to inhibit chemically-induced cell damage by an
average of 75%.
Digestive
Tonic
Turmeric
has also been used since ancient times for digestive problems such as
gastritis and hyperacidity, a practice that is backed up by reports that
it helps to increase mucous production and protects the stomach lining.
Curcuminoids also increase bile flow into the intestines, thus improving
the breakdown of dietary fat.
