BENEFITS OF CURCUMIN AND TRIPLE CURC

• Super Anti-Inflammatory properties that reduces pain and inflammation associated with arthritis
• Powerful antioxidant that enhances the body’s resistance to free radicals

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY:
Curcumin is effective in relieving pain/inflammation associated with arthritis, bunions, bursitis, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome (inflammation of the wrist), gout, headaches of all sorts, geographic tongue (tongue inflammation), etc.

Curcumin/Turmeric is a COX 2 inhibitor, that is, it inhibits the action of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase-2 which is partly responsible for the pain of arthritis, so it can be used as an effective substitute for arthritis drugs. The active ingredient curcumin which decreases amounts of prostaglandins (involved in the transmission of pain signals) and stimulates the adrenal glands to release natural cortisone, also reduces inflammation.

Studies show it inhibits prostaglandin production and stimulates the creation of cortisol which relieves inflammation. Studies concluded that curcuminoids significantly suppress TPA-induced oxidative stress via both interference with infiltration of leukocytes into the inflammatory regions and inhibition of their activation. Studies conducted found that curcuminoid extract inhibits activation of NF-KB suggesting that curcumin shares the same mechanism of action as anti-arthritic pharmaceuticals under development that target NF-KB.

In fact, curcumin has proven to be almost as effective as cortisone in the treatment of some kinds of inflammation. In short, it’s a safe and effective pain killer.

A Nottingham-Munich study, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, used a culture model of human tendon inflammation to study the anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin on tendon cells. The main objective of the study was to observe the effects that curcumin had on the inflammatory and degenerative properties induced by molecules called interleukins. The results showed that curcumin prevents interleukins from promoting inflammation.

ANTI-OXIDANT:
Antioxidants protect healthy cells from free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage cells and cause aging.
Curcumin is one of the most potent antioxidant nutrients, as a member of the bioflavonoid family. As an antioxidant, curcumin benefits include its function as an effective scavenger of free radicals. It may also function indirectly as an antioxidant by reducing the activity of inflammatory enzymes and by enhancing your body’s production of glutathione, one of your most important intracellular antioxidants.
An Ohio State University study supports the curcumin antioxidant properties in humans.
