Marcus Watson tackling his fitness with the help of TURMERIC+

Playing rugby professionally is physically demanding, so in order to stay in peak condition, it’s important to look after your overall wellbeing as well your joints, ligaments, bones and muscles.

Premiership English rugby union player and Olympic rugby sevens silver medallist, Marcus Watson, aged 30, certainly found this to be the case. He started taking Turmeric+ when, returning from injury, he found it very useful for his recovery in and around training.

Marcus explains: “My coach suggested taking a turmeric supplement, so I went online to research my options. The fact Turmeric+ is Informed Sport* certified is crucial to me. I also liked the company’s scientific credentials, so I decided to give Turmeric+ a try.

“I’ve been taking it for around 3 months and I’m very impressed, in fact I have it on subscription now. I certainly feel much more like my old self and feel fitter than ever.” Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is difficult for the body to absorb. Some turmeric products offer high levels of curcumin but unless this is easily absorbed by the body, the higher amounts make little difference.

The need for easy absorption is what led the scientists at FutureYou Cambridge to create Turmeric+ using a patented ‘Curcuma Phospholipid Complex’ formulation, which is thirty times more absorbable than standard turmeric. Turmeric + contains vitamin C*, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage, as well as contributing to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Intensive workouts are a wellknown source of oxidative stress in muscles.

Adam Cleevely, CEO of FutureYou Cambridge comments;

“We’re delighted to hear our Turmeric+ is helping elite athletes like Marcus as well as customers with more everyday requirements. We want to support more people to become or stay active, whether you’re a professional, club player or simply enjoy sport socially, we think Turmeric+ can play an important role in that journey.” *Informed Sport is a supplement testing and certification programme which provides assurance to athletes that products carrying the Informed Sport logo have been regularly tested for prohibited substances and are manufactured to the highest quality standards.
