Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin® Turmeric Extract, 60 Capsules

Product description Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin® Turmeric Extract

Use the curcumin extract in Super Bio-Curcumin® to help regulate immune and inflammatory responses and you will benefit from the many other health benefits that turmeric extract can bring to the body.

The unique curcumin extract is absorbed up to 7 times easier and stays in the blood up to twice as long as regular curcumin supplements.

Why it works:

Turmeric is nothing short of a true superfood. Extracts from curcumin can suppress inflammatory factors in the body, support digestive function, and promote healthy cell division. It can also help maintain normal and healthy brain [1-11], platelet and pancreatic function [12-17]. And in all of this, it also helps fight free radicals [12,18] and supports the maintenance of a stable hormonal balance.

The ultra-potent BCM-95 Bio-Curcumin® formula delivers the maximum health benefits of curcumin. It is up to 7 times more absorbable than conventional curcumin supplements and stays in the blood twice as long.

Product Science:

Curcumin supports your body's healthy response to inflammation by inhibiting key inflammatory factors such as NF-kappaB. This is a protein molecule that acts as a "switch" in the genes that control the body's pro-inflammatory responses. Related to this, curcumin has been shown to have potent inhibitory effects on NF-kappaB activation [19-24].

Clinical studies further suggest that curcumin may promote healthy gut function and joint health [10, 25-34].

In addition, curcumin may benefit your mind. Curcumin extract supports immune system health by inhibiting histamine release from mast cells [18,35-38]. In some studies, curcumin supported healthy brain function and provided neuroprotective benefits [1-11].

Curcumin also supports pancreatic function by promoting the health of pancreatic islets. The multifaceted benefits of curcumin even include antioxidant [39-40] protection and support for hormonal balance. Finally, research suggests that curcumin may help protect against estrogen-mimicking chemicals [41-46], protect against free radicals, and promote normal cell growth.
