Arthritis Relief as seen on A Current Affair, Channel 9

With a long tradition of use in both Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, the herb Turmeric contains bioactive compounds with amazing medicinal properties.

Curcumin is a natural extract from the root of the Turmeric plant and ís a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties providing a simple, more natural approach to mild arthritis or mild osteoarthritis and therefore assisting in improving the overall quality of life. Curcumin also provides cellular protection and reduces the risk of cellular damage by free radicals.

Curcumin actually targets multiple steps in the inflammatory pathway. It acts as an anti-inflammatory agent by modulating inflammatory pathways within your body and inhibiting the production of harmful inflammatory molecules.

It is important to realise Curcumin's health-supporting properties depend on its bioavailability. Regular Curcumin is poorly absorbed by your body when it enters your stomach and digestive tract. Unfortunately very little ‘regular’ Curcumin makes it into your bloodstream to work on inflammation and pain. Curcumin must be absorbed by the cells of your body to benefit your health.
