Curcumin
This product is available in the following colours:
DESCRIPTION
Curcumin is renowned for its many healing and medicinal properties, and if used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, it can really provide numerous health benefits.
Curcumin is found within turmeric, but it is not the same as turmeric. Turmeric supplements do indeed contain curcumin, but curcumin supps do not contain turmeric. Curcumin is an active ingredient found within turmeric and it is curcumin that is responsible, primarily at least, for turmeric’s numerous health benefits. Curcumin is one of three curcuminoids found within turmeric, that help to provide it with its health benefits, and its amazingly vibrant golden yellow colour. In most typical servings of turmeric, you will find roughly 8% curcumin. Curcumin supplements, however, obviously provide more concentrated curcumin per serving, which in turn means that they provide more health benefits. Curcumin is perhaps best known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, although it provides much more than that.
Health Canada Recommended Dose (capsules): Take 1 capsule, 3 times daily.
* Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 12 weeks.

The Benefits
There are a number of benefits associated with Curcumin, and whilst listing them all may be a bit of a stretch, we can look at some of the most common and most important benefits. These include:
Curcumin is able to block and prevent inflammation in your body on a molecular level. It blocks molecules responsible for causing inflammation in the body, making it a wonderful supplement for people suffering from joint pain, headaches, or any other medical conditions which have been linked to inflammation.
Because curcumin is a powerful antioxidant, it helps to boost the immune system and thereby help to keep you fit and healthy. Oxidation is a process in the body that is responsible for cellular damage and mutation. This can lead to potentially fatal conditions such as cancer. Helping to fight and prevent oxidation is therefore an essential part of any healthy living regime, which is why curcumin’s potent antioxidant properties have been found to be so useful.
Even though this benefit has been mentioned in the anti-inflammatory section, we feel that it’s so important and beneficial that we’ve given it its own section. Curcumin serves as a natural form of pain-relief, meaning that it can help to fight pain and discomfort in a number of ways. Whether you suffer from headaches, joint pain, injury, arthritis, or just general discomfort, curcumin is a very effective supplement to have at your disposal. Furthermore, it’s much safer than many lab-created pain-killing drugs and medications.
