Australian NaturalCare Curcumin is a bioavailable form of Curcumin which helps relieve mild pain, swelling and inflammation of mild osteoarthritis. You might know turmeric as the bright yellow spice that adds colour to curries. The active compound in turmeric, known as curcumin, is becoming increasingly known as a natural aid for the inflammation and pain of mild osteoarthritis. Swollen, inflamed joints can make life a misery. Our formulation of curcumin may help to decrease pain, swelling and inflammation in mild osteoarthritis. Curcumin also has a potent antioxidant effect. Its not yet known whether its demonstrated benefits for mild osteoarthritis come purely from its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, or whether it is also working in other ways to help keep you moving. Regular curcumin is not very well absorbed by the body, with very little making it into the bloodstream to work on inflammation and pain. In fact, curcumin has poor bioavailability, requiring high doses to get results. But not ours! Australian NaturalCares special formulation of Meriva curcumin is made using patented phytosome technology to combine turmeric-derived curcumin with phospholipids to boost bioavailability, and improve the absorption of the curcumin.
