HISTORY OF THE USE OF TURMERIC
Turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 4000 years and is still highly appreciated for its impressive benefits for the body. Turmeric is probably known to you as that aromatic spice that gives Indian curry its specific yellow color. Since the 1900s, more than 11,000 studies have been published that have demonstrated the multiple benefits of turmeric for health, it being one of the natural remedies that are the subject of a very large number of researches worldwide.
BENEFITS OF THE ACTIVE SUBSTANCE
But the real secret of turmeric's popularity is the compound called curcumin. Curcumin is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, having a beneficial effect on almost all body systems - skin, metabolism, heart and blood vessels and even brain. It is possible that it is the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory currently known. When the body suffers, regardless of whether it is an injury, a disease, exposure to environmental toxins or conditions caused by oxidative stress, its first reaction is inflammation. In this way, the body intervenes to restore itself. The most common symptoms of inflammation are warmth, swelling and pain. Short-term inflammation is a natural process that helps the body recover and return to optimal functioning. But problems arise when the recovery is not complete, and the inflammation persists in the body for a long period of time. It is the so-called chronic or persistent inflammation.
This is a complex biochemical process associated with chronic diseases, including:
• heart disease
• cancer
• metabolic syndrome
• ulcerative colitis
• autoimmune diseases
• arthritis
Fortunately, curcumin contributes to the prevention or improvement of these conditions, because it inhibits the enzymes that produce inflammation.
CURCUMIN-XT REDUCES GLYCEMIA
Improper diet, waistline and high blood sugar are among the most common health problems that society faces. Increasing insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and diabetes have reached global epidemic proportions, causing the death of millions of people annually. There is more and more evidence that curcumin could help maintain blood sugar within normal limits. In a study, subjects in the pre-diabetes phase were given capsules with curcumin, respectively with a placebo substance, for nine months. A large number of subjects who received the placebo developed type 2 diabetes, and none of those who received curcumin. In the in the case of those who were administered curcumin, an improvement in sugar metabolism was also observed. [1]
Curcumin improves brain function
According to studies, curcumin has a positive effect on brain health and memory. At the level of the elderly population in India who, throughout their lives, regularly consume curcumin in curry-type preparations, better cognitive performances and a lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease are found compared to the Western population. [2]
Also, curcumin has a positive effect in reducing depression. According to a study, curcumin has a similar effectiveness to that of a known antidepressant in reducing severe depression. At the same time, curcumin is safer for health.
If you suffer from moderate depression, it is worth trying a curcumin supplement. [3]
Curcumin reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke
In addition to reducing inflammation in the blood vessels, curcumin has two other benefits, protecting against heart disease and stroke.
CURCUMIN-XT REDUCES CHOLESTEROL
Polyphenols, of which curcumin is also a part, are known for reducing the aggregation of platelets that contribute to the clogging of blood vessels. Curcumin, in particular, intervenes in the inhibition of an enzyme responsible for blood coagulation.
According to the studies carried out, curcumin is effective in reducing "harmful" LDL cholesterol, as well as in increasing the level of "good" HDL cholesterol. [4, 5]
CURCUMIN-XT AND CANCER PREVENTION
This is a more controversial topic among researchers, but according to the studies conducted, there is promising evidence in support of a beneficial action of curcumin in this area. In India, the rate of the types of cancer with the highest incidence in the United States (breast, prostate, colon and lung cancers) is much lower. This is partially associated with the presence of curcumin in the diet of the Indian population.
At various cellular levels, curcumin has the potential to reduce the risk of various types of cancer, respectively to slow down their evolution. Research is still at the beginning, but the studies carried out so far have highlighted the following effects of curcumin:
• inhibiting the development of cancer before it develops [6]
• destroying cancer cells and preventing their expansion
• suppressing the development of additional blood vessels that feed cancer cells [7]
CURCUMIN-XT IS BENEFICIAL FOR SKIN HEALTH
Due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, curcumin can reduce skin cell damage caused by sun exposure, pollution and toxins.
Curcumin has been used for centuries in India in salves, plasters and ointments.
According to recent studies, curcumin can improve many skin conditions, such as acne, dermatitis, itching and psoriasis, and can be administered orally or directly on the skin. [8] Try curcumin for beautiful and healthy skin!
Curcumin supplements and dosage issues
If you have read the above, you have convinced yourself that turmeric, thanks to its active compound, curcumin, is an incredible substance with multiple health benefits.
You are probably asking yourself: "What is the best way to introduce curcumin into my diet?" It is more complicated to buy turmeric powder and put it in food. The problem is that, if you add natural turmeric to food, it only contains about 3% curcumin. Unless it is combined with another substance, curcumin is absorbed in the body in a proportion of about 1%. In addition, this reduced amount that reaches the blood is quickly metabolized by the liver; the benefits of curcumin for the body are limited to about two hours.
CURCUMIN-XT HAS AN ADEQUATE DOSAGE
To really enjoy the benefits of curcumin for your health, you need a daily dose of at least 2 capsules of 800 mg of turmeric extract.
To make the most of the advantages offered by curcumin, you must take a high-quality, scientifically dosed supplement that offers a maximum level of bioavailability, because, otherwise, you will be wasting your money. To see which are the best curcumin supplements, we need to discuss improving its bioavailability.
ADDITION OF 98% PIPERINE
Researchers have discovered that when curcumin is combined with black pepper extract (active substance piperine), it is absorbed much better and remains in the blood for a longer period of time. After combining curcumin with piperine extracted from black pepper, the bioavailability of curcumin increases 20 times. [9]. This is the main reason why you should choose CURCUMIN-XT, a product containing a curcumin extract of the highest quality, with a high level of bioavailability.
CURCUMIN-XT - THE BEST SUPPLEMENT WITH CURCUMIN
To be sure that you have chosen the best supplement, you must check that it simultaneously meets the following conditions:
• It has an optimized absorption
• It contains a highly concentrated extract - 95%
The Curcumin-XT supplement is a premium, high-quality product with an adequate concentration, containing 95% curcuminoids and 98% piperine extract for maximum bioavailability.
