Spice up life the natural way
MORE that 10 million people in the UK suffer from arthritis and the pain and inflammation in the joints that it brings. As we get older all that walking, bending, grabbing and lifting begins to put pressure on our joints and muscles. Wear and tear starts to take its toll and inflammation can turn quickly into arthritis and muscle pain – making simple tasks such as walking or even climbing out of the armchair difficult.
We take so much care of our appearance that sometimes we forget what makes our body tick. Our joints and muscles need some TLC – eating right isn’t always the answer as we can’t get enough of all the vital nutrients.
A natural food supplement is the way to help keep our bodies stocked up with goodness. One ingredient that has been getting attention from doctors and scientists is the curry spice turmeric and its active ingredient, curcumin.
Curcumin has been proven to reduce inflammation throughout the body but particularly in swollen joints and muscles. Of course that doesn’t simply mean more curries and a daily chicken tikka masala – the amount of curcumin there just isn’t enough. The higheststrength product on the shelves is Bioglan Active Curcumin, with each easy- to- take tablet containing 600mg of curcuminoid extract. That’s the equivalent of 12.46g of turmeric powder – about a third of the pot that you’d find in supermarkets.
Also, curcumin isn’t easy to absorb – so each tablet also includes a black pepper extract called BioPerine, which enhances the body’s absorption by 2,000 per cent.
The unique formulation of Bioglan’s Active Curcumin also includes vitamin C to help support the immune system, vitamin D, which is good for our bones, and copper to help keep connective tissues healthy.
Curcumin has been hailed for supporting inflammatory problems such as arthritis. Many studies have found that curcumin reduced pain in achy, sore joints and muscles while new research suggests it goes beyond pain relief to deliver faster physical healing after a workout or exercise.
A regular dose of curcumin can also be beneficial to those of us who simply go for a run, to the gym or just exercise regularly, helping muscles recover.
Whether you want to maintain a healthy lifestyle or are trying to manage pain so you can live a normal life, Bioglan Active Curcumin is the way to keep you moving forward.
