Thorne, Curcumin Phytosome NSF Certified for Sport, 1000 mg, 120 Caps

Turmeric has been extensively researched for its health-promoting properties. It has been used in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as Ayurvedic medicine, for more than 2,000 years. Curcuminoids, the most-active components in turmeric, provide numerous health benefits, such as promoting joint health and flexibility, supporting the liver and digestive system, and aiding cardiovascular health. Additionally, curcumin acts as a powerful antioxidant.*

Curcumin’s ability to promote a healthy inflammatory response makes it especially helpful for those dealing with intermittent physical discomfort. It can help ease tension in muscles and joints caused by overuse. A balanced inflammatory response is also vital for the health of the brain, eyes, liver, digestive tract, kidneys, and cardiovascular system.*

Thorne’s Curcumin Phytosome is formulated exclusively with Meriva®, the most clinically studied curcumin on the market. As a phytosome complex, Meriva provides superior absorption over other curcumin extracts. A human study demonstrated 29-times greater absorption of Meriva than ordinary curcumin.

Interactions

Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research revealed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.
