Towards better health with turmeric

-

RESEARCH has found that modern lifestyle, food additives, preservati­ves, stress and the lack of sleep induce “chronic inflammati­on”.

It is a condition where the body starts to develop a persistent inflammati­on, causing continuous internal damage to blood vessels, cells and organs, which then leads to a plethora of health problems.

A prolonged inflammati­on occurs silently but causes more harm to the body.

Chronic inflammati­on is the main culprit of most non-communicab­le diseases (NCDs) such as cancer.

Several types of research have dwelled on how curcumin from turmeric can offer some health benefits and help to fight NCDs.

Curcumin works as a master switch, halting multiple inflammati­on mechanisms in the body, which cascade throughout the body from the activation of an inflammato­ry factor called nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB).

By switching off the action of NF-kB, the body’s unwanted inflammati­on process will reduce, hence minimising damage to cells, tissues and organs.

In other words, curcumin is a “master stopper” of damage to the human body, protecting the body from continuous internal damage through inflammati­on. It allows the body to heal and improve naturally.

Clinical research uses a high dosage of curcumin, as high as 100 teaspoons (estimated to contain one and a half gram of turmeric with three per cent of curcumin per teaspoon) a day of pure turmeric powder to treat different ailments.

As curcumin’s absorption into the body is poor, high doses of turmeric powder are required to see results. However, consuming such a huge amount of turmeric powder daily is simply impossible for most people, especially in the long run.

However, thanks to new technology and innovation, the body’s absorption of curcumin is no longer a problem.

Theracurmi­n is an innovative formulatio­n that enhances the absorption of curcumin.

It is made from ultra-fine granulatio­n and suspension tech- nology, converting turmeric powder into sub-micron particles called nano-molecular curcumin.

It can be rapidly absorbed within an hour and retained for as long as 24 hours in the body, allowing the body to obtain faster and longer protection against inflammati­on, thus reducing the risk of NCDs.

Choose the right turmeric that has high absorption and bioavailab­ility such as Theracurmi­n.

As a curcumin powder that has been clinically and extensivel­y researched in the market, it has strong support in keeping NCDs at bay and maintainin­g your health at its peak.
