Description
Numerous immunological benefits
Therapeutic Indications:
Maximum bioavailability with black pepper:
-Curcuma has very low bioavailability, mainly due to its rapid glucuronidation;
-Protecting curcuma from this metabolic conversion can improve its bioavailability;
-Black pepper is an intestinal and hepatic inhibitor of glucuronidation, and its concomitant administration increases curcuma's bioavailability by 11 times.
Antimicrobial
Curcuma extracts show inhibition of the growth of a range of bacteria, parasites, fungi, and viruses.
Anti-Inflammatory
Its anti-inflammatory properties are attributed to its regulatory capacity at the level of inflammatory transcription factors, cytokines, redox status, protein kinases, and enzymes, all of which promote inflammation.
It has been shown to reduce the expression of inflammatory markers, such as NF-kB, COX-2, 5-LOX, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha, adhesion molecules, and C-reactive protein.
Anti-carcinogenic
Curcuma has shown the ability to inhibit carcinogenesis at 3 stages: initiation, promotion, and tumor progression. It also has the ability to suppress the activity of various mutagens and carcinogens.
Gastrointestinal protection
Curcuma constituents inhibit intestinal spasms, as well as increase the secretion of gastrin, secretin, and pancreatic enzymes.
Hepatoprotective
Curcuma's hepatoprotective effect stems essentially from its antioxidant property and ability to decrease the formation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. One of the curcumin salts also has the ability to exert choleretic effects, increasing the excretion of bile salts, cholesterol, and bilirubin.
Cardiovascular Protection
Curcuma's positive effects on cardiovascular health include decreasing cholesterol and triglyceride levels, decreasing LDL susceptibility to lipid peroxidation, and inhibiting platelet aggregation.
Immunity Improvement
Curcuma improves localized immunity, increasing the number of B cells and helper T cells, as well as general immunity.
Antioxidant
Curcuma, as well as curcumin, show potent antioxidant activity, comparable to vitamin C and E. Studies have demonstrated the effect of curcuma on endothelial heme oxygenase-1, a protein known as a stress inducer. It has the ability to neutralize free radicals and increase glutathione levels.
