Pain Management Effects of Curcumin
COX-2 is the body's main enzyme responsible for the production of pain and inflammation in muscle and joint tissue.
As such, many pain-management drugs, called NSAIDs, have been designed to inhibit the COX-2 enzyme. Unfortunately, NSAIDs can have some pretty serious side effects, the worst of which are ulcers,kidney failure, and liver failure.
Curcumin, on the other hand, is not only a powerful and effective COX-2 inhibitor, but unlike NSAIDs, it's also well tolerated, has no known serious side effects, and it has a lot of healthy benefits, as well.
Healthy Benefits of Curcumin
And here are the findings from laboratory studies, showing the healthy benefits of curcumin:
Curcumin has been shown to exhibit anti-aromatase properties.
Curcumin, in numerous animal studies, has been shown to reduce certain types of cancer, most notability prostate, colon, and skin.
Curcumin helps enhance cardiovascular health.
Curcumin may reduce body fat.
Curcumin has been shown to lower total cholesterol while raising HDL levels.
Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant.
Curcumin may decrease the incidence of Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease.
Why Haven't You Heard of It?
So why haven't you heard of curcumin?
Maybe a better question is, why aren't you using it?
Traditionally, there's been a couple of problems with curcumin supplements and the problems are common to most medically useful plant products:
1. They rarely contain a standardized formulation.
2. They typically have low bioavailability rates.
Historically, most curcumin formulations simply consisted of a ground up concoction of the whole turmeric plant. As such, the amount of curcumin in a typical dosage was wildly inconsistent and low potency.
Furthermore, as stated, curcumin generally has a poor bioavailability rate. It's rapidly metabolized in the liver and in the intestinal wall.
BIOTEST® Curcumin 500
BIOTEST took 500 milligrams of pure curcumin (along with 40 mg of other curcuminoids) and combined it with 3.75 milligrams of something called piperine.
Piperine is a known inhibitor of hepatic and intestinal glucoronidation that's been shown to increase the bioavailability of curcumin up to 2000%!
The end result is the most powerful, pain-killing curcumin formulation ever available.
