Tina is scaling new heights thanks to TURMERIC+

As we get older skeletal and muscular discomfort is more common and daily activities may become more difficult, particular­ly as pressure in joints increases wear and tear on ageing cartilage.

Tina, 60, who lives in Bedfordshi­re, is a live-in carer, a physically demanding job which involves daily manual handling including the moving and positionin­g of clients. She balances work with trail running, hiking, dancing, rock climbing and other outdoor pursuits and likes to push herself to the limits.

“In my forties I had a serious car accident, which led to months of rehabilita­tion. My injuries left me with one leg shorter than the other and my hip, knee and ankle on my left hand side take the strain as they have to overcompen­sate.

Tina was told she would probably not be able to do all the activities she loved so much, again. But, as she explains, “I was determined, and in the last 12 years I have worked really hard to overcome my injuries. Tina spotted an advertisem­ent for Turmeric+ in the press which had helped others stay active: “I thought to myself: I really ought to give it a try”. So she signed up and to say she was pleased with the results would be an understate­ment.

“After 10 days I thought - wow - I no longer dread facing the day. I feel so much more like my old self.”

Turmeric+ is formulated with a number of key ingredient­s, including vitamin C which helps maintain healthy cartilage. It also contains compounds called curcuminoi­ds from turmeric roots, the most notable of which is curcumin and is what makes turmeric such a powerful spice. 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 the patented ‘Curcuma Phospholip­id Complex’ formulatio­n. It’s thirty times more absorbable than standard turmeric.

“I had recently stopped trail running, but after taking Turmeric+ I thought I would give it a try again. I did an hours’ run (8.5km) and felt great. I was on such a high afterwards it felt like chariots of fire. Even after not running for weeks, I felt like I had grown wings. It was such a euphoric feeling that nothing could ruin my day”.

Tina is now looking ahead to her next challenge - climbing the equivalent height and distance of Mount Everest, around Keswick this summer.

“I no longer dread facing the day. I feel so much more like my old self.”
