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.
