Description
Numerous immunological benefits
Therapeutic Indications:
Maximum bioavailability with black pepper:
-Curcuma has very low bioavailability, essentially due to its rapid glucuronidation;
-The protection of curcuma from this metabolic conversion can be achieved to 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 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.
It has been shown 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.
Anti-carcinogenic
Curcuma has demonstrated the ability to inhibit carcinogenesis at 3 stages: initiation, promotion, and tumor progression. It also has the capacity 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
The hepatoprotective effect of curcuma essentially stems 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
The positive effects of curcuma on Cardiovascular Health include decreased levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, decreased susceptibility to LDL lipid peroxidation, and inhibition of platelet aggregation.
Immunity Improvement
Curcuma improves localized immunity by increasing the number of B cells and T helper cells, as well as overall immunity.
Antioxidant
Curcuma, as well as curcumin, demonstrate potent antioxidant activity, comparable to vitamin C and E. Studies have shown the effect of curcuma at the level of endothelial heme oxygenase-1, a protein known as a stress inducer. It has the ability to neutralize free radicals and increase glutathione levels.
