Live-Well Cumin Turmeric Standardized Extract 400mg Vegecapsule 2x60's+30's 

Enhanced absorption Turmeric supplement with proprietary bioperine ingredient to strengthen the body for vitality and boost antioxidant protection. Turmeric is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), which is native to tropical South Asia. Turmeric is best known as a spice and is one of the main components of curry powder responsible for the yellow hue that is synonymous with curries. In India and other parts of Asia, Turmeric is more than just a spice - Turmeric has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Turmeric has long been prized for its antioxidant benefits. 

The active ingredients of Turmeric are a group of compounds called curcuminoids, which include curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Of the three, Curcumin plats the active role. Curcumin also protects cells, tissues and organs from harmful free radical damage by preventing the formation of free radicals. Curcumin is known for its multiple health benefits - and these benefits are better attained when Curcumin is combined with agents like piperine, which significantly boosts its absorption. 

Bioperine® enhances Curcumin's absorption. A major hurdle to the development of Curcumin for use as a supplement is its poor bioavailability. Turmeric is not soluble in water and it is poorly absorbed into the bloodstream, and once there, it is rapidly metabolized and eliminated. The spicy taste or heat of black pepper is familiar to most but not many may know how this heat comes about. This heat is actually a manifestation of biological activity of several active compounds present in black pepper - the prominent one being piperine. Studies show that when a small amount of piperine is combined with turmeric extract in a capsule, the absorption of curcuminoids into the bloodstream is increased. Live-well Cumin uses the advanced technology Bioperine®, a patented extract obtained from black pepper fruits standardized to minimum 95% piperine.
