Curcumin, the yellow pigment found in turmeric, is one of the most thoroughly investigated products available. Hundreds of biochemical and cellular studies have shown that turmeric may help support a healthy inflammatory response, provide an important source of antioxidants and deliver other important health benefits. trunature® Premium Turmeric features Meriva® curcumin – a patented curcumin complex, backed by 20 published clinical studies on nearly 1,000 subjects, shown to significantly increase absorption of curcumin, the key active ingredient of turmeric. Damage from free radicals and oxidation is responsible for many of the negative effects associated with aging. Providing your body with antioxidant protection is vitally important to helping you look and feel younger. The antioxidants found in turmeric come from compounds called curcuminoids. These curcuminoids have protective properties that help protect the integrity of biomolecules in the body. Incorporating trunature® Premium Turmeric with Meriva® into your daily health regimen will give your body an important supply of antioxidant protection to help in the battle against free radical damage. Clinical studies have also shown that Curcumin Phytosome, the primary ingredient in trunature® Premium Turmeric, supports a healthy inflammatory response as well as joint mobility and flexibility. Curcumin has also been found, through clinical studies, to support a healthy inflammatory response in helping improve occasional morning stiffness, walking time and joint comfort. In addition to giving your body a boost of antioxidant protection and supporting a healthy inflammatory response, turmeric can also deliver healthy benefits for the entire body, including:

• Promote healthy liver function – Studies have shown that turmeric improves the expression of at least two important liver enzymes, promoting healthy liver function to help with the detoxification process.
• Help maintain a healthy digestive system – Turmeric can help support the healthy production of bile, which may improve digestion.† One double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that turmeric helped reduce some symptoms of people suffering from indigestion.
• Support the maintenance of cholesterols levels already within the normal range – Curcumin has been studied extensively for its effectiveness in helping maintain normal LDL cholesterol levels and promoting optimum cardiovascular health.

Curcumin has been shown to contain a host of healthy benefits, but scientists have struggled for years with the body’s inability to absorb curcumin in an efficient manner. trunature® Premium Turmeric features Meriva® curcumin, a diet-inspired formulation of curcumin designed to deliver improved oral absorption and bioavailability. Regular curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body and is easily destroyed when it enters the aqueous environment of the stomach and digestive tract. Meriva® is a unique curcumin because it is curcumin that is complexed with phospholipids (type of healthy fat), in a process that results in a ‘Phytosome’. This special ‘Phytosome’ technology provides a dual benefit – protecting the curcumin from the damaging effects of water after ingestion, while greatly enhancing the bioavailability of the curcumin. Curcumin ultimately must be absorbed by the cells of the body in order to benefit our health. The cell membranes in our bodies are made up of phospholipids. Because Meriva® curcumin is combined with phospholipids, it is easily recognized by the cell membranes and is hence much more readily absorbed into the cell. Comparison studies have shown Meriva® to have up to a 29-fold better absorption of important curcuminoids versus other standard 95% turmeric products.⁶ This radical improvement in bioavailability means better delivery of turmeric’s important health benefits to you. trunature® Premium Turmeric with Meriva® curcumin is your best choice for unlocking the amazing health potential of turmeric.
