Jarrow's Curcumin 95 is a concentrate containing no less than 95% curcuminoids , which are powerful antioxidants found in the roots of the spice turmeric. Curcumin and its derivatives help maintain antioxidant status and help reduce oxidative stress.
Antioxidant and Detoxification: Curcuminoids (such as curcumin) exhibit potent antioxidant activity and increase cellular resistance to oxidative damage (protection against DNA damage). Curcumin also enhances the body’s natural antioxidant levels of glutathione; which in turn aids the liver in detoxification. Curcuminoids also have hepatoprotective properties (i.e., protect the liver) against a wide range of toxic chemicals.
For Joint Health: In studies of people with suboptimal joint function, curcumin has been shown to promote a healthy inflammatory response while contributing to comfort and flexibility. In a double-blind study, curcumin was shown to be statistically significantly superior to placebo or other compounds used to support a healthy post-operative inflammatory response.
Other health effects: Compounds found in turmeric exert several protective effects on the gastrointestinal tract, most likely through its antioxidant effects. Scientific evidence suggests that turmeric promotes digestive function and is beneficial for people with digestive disorders.
Curcumin may help promote cardiovascular health through its ability to reduce LDL cholesterol. Research continues to show that low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is one of the most harmful and dangerous forms of cholesterol in terms of cardiovascular disease.
