While water may be the ‘source of all life’, it
could mean trouble for the curcumin supple-
ment you’re taking. Most curcumin supplements
have limited potency due to their poor absorp-
tion when taken orally. In fact, curcumin mol-
ecules normally mix very poorly in water and
are quickly destroyed by it.
●
Curcumin Phytosome featuring
Meriva
®
, the gold standard of curcumin
dietary supplements, uses patented Phytosome
technology to wrap each curcumin molecule
with one or more molecules of phosphatidyl-
choline (PC), and this envelope of PC helps the
curcumin disperse in the water phase while
shielding it from water damage.
Phytosomes Naturally Enhance
Curcumin Biological Activity
●
Studies have demonstrated that supple-
mentation with the curcumin-PC phytosome results
in dramatically higher blood curcumin levels, and
that Meriva curcumin is absorbed 10 times better
than non-phytosome curcumin.
●
Phytosomes are molecular complexes formed
between curcumin and PC molecules. After a phy-
tosome arrives at the intestinal lining, the PC mol-
ecule readily merges with the outer cell mem-
branes and the curcumin molecule passes into
their interior. Then, the intestinal cells release the
curcumins into the circulating blood.
Phytosome Curcumins Support
Key Cell Membrane Functions
●
PC is a phospholipid that was one of the
first “health foods,” and multiple clinical trials
have documented PC’s support for liver, intestin-
al, lung and circulatory health.
●
PC’s clinical benefits derive mainly from its
central role in cell membranes, the structures
upon which most of the cell’s energy is generat-
ed and utilized to support life.
●
PC is a universal building block for cell
membranes. It is irreplaceable for building, grow-
ing and repairing the membrane matrix, and for
ensuring its structural and functional compe-
tence.
●
Numerous clinical studies have proved that
PC helps preserve cell membrane systems against
toxic or viral attack.
Curcumins and Your Cellular Health
●
The curcumins are potent cell membrane pro-
tectants, as they are versatile antioxidants that help
prevent “free-radical” damage from oxygen and
nitrogen-centered oxidants. They inhibit free radical
attack on the cell, whether on the DNA and genes,
the mitochondria that generate energy, or the mem-
brane system.
●
Membranes are especially vulnerable to free
radical attack, and the presence of curcumin helps
guard them against destruction from lipid peroxida-
tion.
●
Curcumins’ protective capacities extend far
beyond their antioxidant actions, as evidenced
from their protection of joint tissues against out-
of-control destructive activity by the body’s
immune system.
Joint Health & CRP Management
●
Produced by the liver and released into the
blood, C-reactive protein (CRP) is a clinically rele-
vant indicator of whole-body and joint health.
●
Blood hs-CRP is very low in healthy individu-
als, but becomes increased when the immune sys-
tem is active against tissue damage.
●
In the human Meriva trial, subjects who
received Meriva had a marked lowering of their ele-
vated CRP levels after 2 months. This was a statis-
tically significant benefit as compared to the place-
bo group, which experienced no appreciable lower-
ing of CRP.
