Standardized to 95 % Curcumin Curcumin, considered the most bioactive and soothing portion of the herb tumeric, shows protective effects on the liver. It also inhibits the cox-II enzyme and is a powerful antioxidant. When taken alone, curcumin has very poor absorption. Bioperine® greatly enhances the bioavailability of curcumin. Turmeric has long been used in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory, to treat digestive disorders and liver problems, and for the treatment of skin diseases and wound healing. KEY FEATURES Curcumin induces the flow of bile, which helps break down fats. Studies showed, that extracts of turmeric root reduced secretion of acid from the stomach and protected against injuries such as inflammation along the stomach (gastritis) or intestinal walls and ulcers.
Turmeric may prove helpful in preventing the buildup of atherosclerosis, which can cause a heart attack or stroke. In studies an extract of turmeric lowered cholesterol levels and also prevented blood clotting.
Turmeric can protect the liver from a number of damaging substances such as carbon tetrachloride and paracetamol (commonly used for headache and pain). Turmeric helps to clear such toxins from the body and protects the liver from damage.
Studies of people with uveitis (inflammation of the uvea) suggests that curcumin may prove to be as effective as medication generally prescribed for this eye disorder.
The uvea contains many of the blood vessels that nourish the eye. Inflammation of this area, therefore, can affect all other important parts of the eye.
