www.AbbysHealthFood.com - Issue 42 | Page 3 Turmeric is one of the hottest herbs right now and for good reason! Hailing from India, this golden spice has been prized for thousands of years for its incredible array of culinary and health uses. While turmeric is renowned for its peppery, warm flavor, and the vibrant orange color it lends to curry dishes, the past few years have witnessed an explosion of research supporting its powerful health benefits. Most of these benefits are attributed to a small compound in turmeric called curcumin. Confused about curcumin? Curcuminoids are the compounds that give turmeric its distinctive golden color. Turmeric has three major curcuminoids, but the one that yields the greatest biological benefit is curcumin. In fact, some studies have demonstrated that the other two curcuminoids have no activity. Curcumin, the ultimate pleiotropic! As the ultimate pleiotropic (producing multiple effects), curcumin works at multiple sites in the body. Numerous double-blind clinical trials have confirmed curcumin's many benefits including: • Supporting the body's natural inflammatory response • Supporting liver health • Promoting muscle and joint health and function • Promoting heart and vascular health • Promoting memory • Exerting powerful antioxidant activity It's not how much you take, it's how much you absorb! Over the past two decades, more than 5,000 research investigations have involved curcumin, escalating it to one of the most researched plant compounds. As research progressed from cellular and animal studies to human clinical trials, scientists were disappointed by curcumin's low absorption in humans. Because of its poor bioavailability, the positive results produced in preclinical trials were often not translating to humans, even when large quantities of curcumin were given. This prompted researchers and manufacturers to search for ways to enhance curcumin's absorption and reap the incredible health benefits offered by this compound. The result? Based on very detailed absorption studies, cumulative data now shows that the #1 absorbed form of curcumin is Theracurmin ® from Natural Factors!‡ Additionally, Theracurmin is clinically tested, so you know it works.
