Curcuma Max 10000mg - 30 Tablets - Dietmed

Maximum bioavailability with Black Pepper .

Turmeric has very low bioavailability, and this is essentially due to its rapid glucuronidation
Protecting turmeric from this metabolic conversion can be done to improve its bioavailability
Black pepper is an intestinal and hepatic inhibitor of glucuronidation, and its concomitant administration increases the bioavailability of turmeric by 11 times.

Antimicrobial
Turmeric extracts have been shown to inhibit the growth of a number of bacteria, parasites, fungi and viruses.

Anti-Inflammatory
Its anti-inflammatory properties are attributed to its regulatory capacity at the level of inflammatory transition factors, cytokines, redox status, protein kinases and enzymes, all of which promote inflammation.
The ability to reduce the expression of inflammatory markers, such as NF-k B, COX-2, 5-LOX, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha, adhesion molecules and C-reactive protein, was demonstrated.

Anticarcinogenic
Turmeric has demonstrated the ability to inhibit carcinogenesis at three stages: tumor initiation, promotion, and progression. It also has the ability to suppress the activity of several mutagens and carcinogens.

Gastrointestinal protection
Turmeric constituents inhibit intestinal spasms, as well as increase the secretion of gastrin, secretin and pancreatic enzymes.

Hepatoprotective
The hepatoprotective effect of turmeric comes essentially from its antioxidant properties and ability to reduce the formation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. One of the salts of curcumin also has the ability to exert choleretic effects, increasing the excretion of bile salts, cholesterol and bilirubin.

Cardiovascular Protection
The positive effects of turmeric on cardiovascular health include lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels, decreasing susceptibility to LDL lipid peroxidation, and inhibiting platelet aggregation.

Improved Immunity
Turmeric improves localized immunity by increasing the number of B and T helper cells, as well as general immunity.

Antioxidant
Turmeric, like curcumin, demonstrates potent antioxidant activity, comparable to vitamins C and E. Studies have shown the effect of turmeric on endothelial heme oxygenase-1, a protein known to induce stress. It has the ability to neutralize free radicals and increase glutathione levels.

The main properties of Turmeric are its action anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and digestive and, therefore, this plant has several benefits for the body, such as:

• Improve digestion
• Help with weight loss
• Fights flu and colds
• Avoid asthma attacks
• Detoxify and treat liver problems
• Regulate intestinal flora
• Stimulate the immune system
• Relieve skin inflammations such as eczema, acne or psoriasis
