Benefits for you √ Promotes the easing of joint pain, √ Eases digestive disorders (irritable bowel), √ Helps fight ageing, √ Modulates inflammation. Why Biophénix Curcuma LC? √ 30 times better absorption! √ Unique formula with phospholipids, √ 1 capsule = 5 g turmeric spice. Curcuma LC concentrated to 95 % curcumin The rhizome (root), dried and ground into powder, is widely used as a spice. It contains highly active substances, curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin, but two drawbacks persist: √ These active compounds are destroyed by cooking √ The curcumin concentration in the spice form is close to 4 %. You would therefore need to ingest 5 to 10 g of turmeric powder every day to start benefiting from curcumin's properties. Alongside turmeric's undeniable properties, studies have shown that the most significant obstacle to overcome was its poor passage through the intestinal wall. When several grams of curcumin are ingested, less than one milligram is found in the blood, over 1 000 times less. 1/ Absorption The absorption of curcumin is enhanced when it is in a lipid (fatty) environment, particularly in the presence of Omega 3 type acid. Within the Curcuma LC vegan complex, this is provided thanks to the presence of Lecithin rich in Phosphatidylcholine. More precisely, phosphatidylcholine forms a mayonnaise-type emulsion. Curcumin is trapped within a microsphere and passes more quickly through the intestinal wall to reach the blood. It is then available to act effectively. The phospholipids and piperine contained in the Curcuma LC vegan complex increase the absorption of curcumin by 30 to 60 times, depending on the case. 2/ Antioxidant action The antioxidant power of turmeric was initially used in the context of food preservation. A study showed that turmeric ranked 5th among foods with antioxidant properties. Curcumin has a protective effect by fighting free radicals involved in particular in the development of cardiovascular diseases, serious conditions and the ageing of the body. 3/ Gastrointestinal disorders Turmeric is traditionally used to relieve certain gastrointestinal disorders. It has been successfully tested to ease the pain of people suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (I.B.S.). This action is documented by hundreds of international publications. It also has protective effects on the stomach wall and helps fight the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, responsible for many ulcers. In South-East Asian countries, it is recognised for its ability to combat parasites and fungi. 4/ Turmeric and joint pain In India and China, turmeric has been used for a very long time for its ability to relieve inflammation. It has the power to ease joint pain. Studies show that it inhibits the formation of a molecule essential to the start of the inflammatory process, without generating the undesirable effects of synthetic anti-inflammatory molecules.
