(Why you need to supplement it, which supplements are best, how to include it in your diet, and how to take it to optimize your daily health and performance)




Used as a food ingredient in Asia for thousands of years, curcumin is a potent antioxidant that offers numerous health benefits, including support of joint, liver, GI, and cardiovascular function.


Curcumin is an antioxidant flavonoid that helps maintain the body's normal inflammatory response through optimization of cytokine production. Some, but not nearly all of the benefits include :  Support Joint Comfort

Enhance Cognitive Functioning

Benefit Cardiovascular Health

Bolster Immune System Defenses

Fight Free Radicals Within the Body

Promote Mobility and Flexibility

Help Regulate the Digestive System

Provide Antioxidant Health Benefits

Optimize Overall Body Comfort

Empower Positive Overall Well-being


Now, before you get over excited about this amazing natural dietary superfood, there is a small caveat.. Curcumin is poorly absorbed into the blood stream and steps have to be taken to increase its bioavailability (its capability of being absorbed and available for use)

The good news for us is dietary strategies, including the use of black pepper (piperine) with turmeric, can boost blood levels of curcumin from the spice turmeric by up to 2,000%. But as science and technology progresses, there are other ways to increase its bioavailability. Some supplement companies have done a great job of combining compounds or technology to make supplementation more convenient.


There are basically four methods or strategies that we have come across :

Pairing curcumin with black pepper (piperine)

Curcumin phytosomes complexed with (phosphatidylcholine)(Meriva or BCM-95)

Curcumin nanoparticles (THERACURMIN)

Water-soluble curcumin (polyvinyl pyrrolidone)





When your looking for a potent, high quality supplement for Curcumin, be sure to keep the above in mind!  Whether you supplement it, or add it to your food, this is a daily powerful dietary superfood. I take it daily, without fail.

Some only tear the home down but leave you with all the waste. If you're in the market for mobile home demolition companies, make sure to ask if they offer a full-service package. A good company will include debris removal, recycling where possible, and help with local permits.

Zenofm had become my go-to for streamlining audio content. Automation was flawless—until recently. Now, I’m stuck asking what's happened to zenofm i can't use automation like before. It feels like a major step backward.

There’s a lot of hype around CBD products, and I’ve tried a bunch with mixed results. But once I started using spectrum cbd gummies, I finally understood what people meant by the entourage effect.

Real estate offers amazing potential, but without structure, it’s easy to burn out or lose focus. That’s why having a real estate business plan is so valuable. It helps you clarify your mission, target market, and daily operations.

They’re also extremely versatile; you can wear them at any time of year, to almost any occasion. What makes Marly Perfume a standout is its ability to blend niche artistry with mainstream appeal.
