Curcumin
Curcuma longa has been traditionally used in Asian countries as a medical herb due
to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. Curcumin, being insoluble in water, has poor absorption in the gut which becomes major challenge when it comes to efficacy. Nutraedge has a one-of-a-kind curcumin to help resolve absorption issue, with SMEDDS technology.
What is SMEDDS?
•Self-Micro-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System” to ensure better absorption is used for Aqua Curcumin
•SMEDDS, upon dispersion in water, produce fine droplets (≤100nm) with enormous interfacial area
•Nano-droplets cross easily through the lining of cells of the Gut
•This enhances absorption of Curcumin in the Gut
•Curcumin (insoluble-in-water) is absorbed efficiently with the formulation of SMEDDS
Thus, offering you higher absorption even with just 50mg.
How Curcumin Works & It's Benefits
• Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Curcumin is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. It helps to modulate the activity of various molecules involved in the inflammatory process, including cytokines, enzymes, and transcription factors. This makes curcumin effective in reducing chronic inflammation, which is linked to conditions like arthritis, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders.
• Antioxidant Properties: Curcumin acts as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals and protecting the body's cells from oxidative stress. Oxidative damage is associated with aging, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases, and curcumin helps mitigate this damage by scavenging free radicals and boosting the body's natural antioxidant defences.
• Brain Health: Curcumin has been shown to cross the blood-brain barrier and may help protect the brain from conditions like Alzheimer's disease. It does this by reducing inflammation in the brain and promoting the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein important for cognitive function, learning, and memory.
• Anti-Cancer Potential: Several studies suggest that curcumin may have anti-cancer properties by interfering with multiple pathways involved in cancer development, such as inhibiting tumour growth, preventing metastasis (spread of cancer), and promoting the death of cancer cells. It may also enhance the effects of chemotherapy while reducing its side effects.
• Heart Health: Curcumin may support heart health by improving endothelial function (the lining of blood vessels), reducing levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol, and preventing the formation of blood clots. It may also help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.
• Digestive Health: Curcumin can aid in digestion by stimulating bile production, which helps in the breakdown of fats. It may also have a protective effect on the gut lining, reducing symptoms of digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
• Immune System Support: Curcumin modulates the immune system by regulating the function of various immune cells, including T-cells, B-cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. This helps to support the body’s ability to fight infections and manage
