Curcumin is the core potent and biologically active component of Turmeric, and consists of curcuminoids compounds which gives it the bright yellow pigment. Turmeric has been long known across Asian countries like India and China for its ayurvedic properties that can treat a lot of health issues at the fundamental level rather than alleviating the symptoms. Adequate amount of curcumin in daily nutritional regimen can help boost overall health quality and has been proven effective in boosting immunity too.
Let’s have a Look at Some of the Key Benefits of Curcumin
-
- Anti-inflammatory Properties
Curcumin has multiple anti-inflammatory properties and has been proven to support lowering of chronic inflammation in the body. At the molecular level, curcumin helps to inhibit the NF-kB molecule which is primarily responsible for chronic inflammation. By helping reduce inflammation in the body, curcumin plays a key role in preventing arthritis and other joint health related issues.
-
- Anti-oxidant Properties
Curcumin has multiple antioxidants which are highly effective in neutralizing free radicals in the body. Since these free radicals are primarily responsible for causing oxidative stress, curcumin helps in alleviating them and supports aspects like healthy aging and boosting the body’s natural antioxidant enzymes. This helps in building a double defense mechanism against oxidative stress.
-
- Maximizes Brain Health
Curcumin helps in boosting the BDNF growth hormone which is responsible for maintaining optimum brain health. Decreasing levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) leads to issues like depression, Alzheimer’s disease and reduces brain function. Consuming recommended amounts of curcumin in an individual’s diet helps in maintaining BDNF levels and promotes better memory, brain health and decreases chances of age-related brain disorders.
-
- Supports Cardiovascular Health
Curcumin when incorporated in daily nutritional regimen can help in lowering the risk of heart diseases significantly. Its core impact can be seen on the improved functioning of the endothelium which is the lining of blood vessels. Endothelium dysfunction is the core reason for any cardiovascular issue because it reduces the capability of blood pressure regulation. This in return increases the chances of blood clotting. With curcumin in your daily nutritional regimen, you end up maximizing cardiovascular health.
-
- Reduces Joint Pain and Boost Bone Health
Curcumin is also beneficial for maintaining joint and bone health over the long run. It helps in reducing pain and swelling in the joints and maximizes mobility. It also reduces the chances of osteoarthritis and doesn’t have any side effects. Another great advantage of curcumin is that it helps in protecting the cartilage through inflammation reduction and lowering oxidative stress. Overall, it helps in alleviating joint pain discomfort and improves quality of life.
But There’s a Catch – Optimizing Curcumin’s Bioavailability
Standard curcumin is shown to have lower bioavailability. This poses a challenge in terms of adequate uptake of curcumin and its available health benefits from the gut. In an ideal state, curcumin must have high solubility so that it’s more water soluble, have high permeability so that it can enter the gut cells easily, and must be stable in nature so that it can withstand the hard stomach environments and doesn’t get broken down by the enzymes.
Introducing Longvida® Optimized Curcumin for Enhanced Bioavailability
Longvida® Optimized Curcumin is a great alternative to standard curcumin because it offers enhanced bioavailability. It’s a patented ingredient that bypasses initial hydrolysis and helps in delivering non-glucuronidated curcumin. It not only makes curcumin more water soluble, but also protects it from the stomach’s harsh ecosystem to enable proper absorption in the gut cells. It stays stable in the body in active form which means enhanced bioavailability and peak plasma levels. The half-life of Longvida® Optimized Curcumin is more than 7 hours which is just approximately 1 minute for standard curcumin. This enables Longvida® Optimized Curcumin to cross the blood brain barrier and leave maximum impact.
Longvida® Optimised Curcumin makes curcumin water-soluble, protects it from the harsh stomach environment, enables it to enter gut cells and keeps it stable in the body in an active form. This results in 285x greater bioavailability and 65x higher peak plasma levels.Longvida® Optimised Curcumin uses Solid Lipid Curcumin Particle technology (SLCP) which meets all of these needs.
