In the world we live in today many people are giving up responsibility for their life and asking doctors to fix them. Historically peoples have found natural remedies that work. Now many think of this as stone age medicine and no longer useful. Curcumin has been used for centuries to reduce swelling and pain. Recent research and development has greatly improved it's qualities and made it useful for many other purposes. By itself Turmeric/curcumin is not readily absorbed into a useful substance in your body. By adding black pepper extract it becomes 2000% more absorbable. As a result, it now has been shown to have many curative properties.
Certain medicinal traditions have also valued turmeric for its use in the treatment of:
Bacterial or fungal infections
Wound healing
Cancer prevention and treatment
Arthritis
Liver disease
Depression
Anxiety
Seasonal allergies
It wasn’t until recently that researchers have appreciated the impact of inflammation on heart disease and arrhythmias, like atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. With this discovery has come interest in turmeric supplements as an alternative treatment for atrial fibrillation.
A limitation of curcumin as a therapeutic tool is that while curcumin has potent anti-inflammatory properties at a molecular level, we have limited ability to absorb it when it is taken orally. It appears that absorption is improved if curcumin is mixed with the bioactive compounds found in spices like chili powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper. Research has also been conducted on using nanotechnology and nanoencapsulation as potential delivery methods to increase the bioavailability of curcumin and has shown promising results.
Marketing of this new product has aloud much false representation. It is important to not just look for the cheapest(often useless), but look for tested with money back guarantee. I make my own choices after comparing many. Articles can give you assistance, but still direct you to certain products.
