CURCUMIN2K® Formula with Black Pepper | 60 Veggie Caps, 1330 mg per bottle, 3 Pack
Turmeric has been used as a component of curry spice blends and a medicinal herb for thousands of years in India and throughout Asia. Traditionally, this bright yellow spice, made from the root of the turmeric plant, was used in Ayurvedic medicine. However, recent research has shown that there is a compound found in turmeric called curcumin that gives turmeric its health-promoting power. Curcumin is now well known to support optimal brain function, a healthy cardiovascular system and healthy joints.As an extract, curcumin is a potent antioxidant and promotes a healthy inflammatory response.  Studies have shown that curcumin promotes a healthy inflammatory response and can also reduce exercise induced muscle damage and improve performance.Epidemiological studies indicate that cultures with diets high in this spice have better brain health. Curcumin may help explain why the curry-eating population of India has an extremely low rate of cognitive decline, say scientists. The average Indian eats about 200 mg of curcumin daily; an equivalent dose shown in UCLA studies to help protect the brain.Curcumin has been known to improve insulin resistance and help regulate spikes in blood glucose levels. This makes it exceptionally beneficial for those looking for natural ways to support blood sugar balance.Absorption has always been the biggest problem when it comes to curcumin supplements. Traditionally, even very large oral doses fail to yield significant increases in circulating blood levels. It is critical to make sure that any curcumin supplement you take contains this important black pepper extract to ensure you are getting maximum absorption. In fact, one study found that the addition of a piperine extract to an oral dose of curcumin increased the bioavailablity by 2,000%!
