Curcumin is the ingredient in Turmeric root that has so many health promoting properties. Its most famous property is its ability to reduce inflammatory by inhibiting the COX 2 enzyme. However,it does not inhibit the COX 1 enzyme as do NSAIDS(i.e ibuprofen). This is very important because the COX 1 enzyme protects the digestive track. So taking NSAIDS on a regular basis will silently damage you digestive track which can lead to ulcers and leaky gut. This is a huge benefit of Cucurmin. It is important to get a formula that has standardized curcumin and not the full spectrum herb of turmeric. Otherwise you may not get high enough blood level to be most effective. Eating the turmeric herb is great overall for health but if you need a strong anti-inflammatory you will have to eat a ton of it which is not practical. Curcumin can cross the blood brain barrier and its anti-inflammatory effects can also impact the brain. Curcumin has been shown to have many other health benefits some of which include. Anti-oxidant - anti cancer Lowers blood sugar and raises insulin Helps with digestive disorders Raises HDL Helps with dementia May help relieve depression Promotes wound healing I like the fact that they are including Bio-perine (black pepper) to the formula as it does help with absorption. I am giving this product 5 stars as it is effective and its price is reasonable. You can save more by buying the 120 count bottle. I do like another curcurmin product which you can see by going to my iHerb home page. You can also see my many other value added product reviews. If you found this review helpful kindly give it a LIKE. Peace and good health!
