Introduction
Curcumin, the primary active compound in turmeric, is often used interchangeably with turmeric due to its significant role in the plant’s properties. Curcumin is responsible for turmeric’s vibrant color, taste, and many of its medicinal benefits. Curcumin offers numerous health benefits, including reducing inflammation and pain associated with arthritis, combating oxidative stress to protect cells, and lowering the risk of chronic diseases. It supports brain health by boosting brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), enhancing cognitive function, and reducing the risk of brain disorders. Additionally, curcumin promotes heart health by improving endothelial function and may have anti-cancer properties, helping to prevent and treat various types of cancer.
Absorption and Bioavailability
One of the challenges with curcumin is the low bioavailability (how much the bloodstream and body absorbs). However, there are ways to enhance the absorption. For example, ingesting curcumin with fats increases bioavailability, which is why turmeric is often recommended to be taken with food. The American Turmeric Company has taken this a step further by fermenting many of our products. Fermentation doesn’t only transform your gut health, but it strengthens the bioavailability of turmeric by about 11%. This is accomplished b
y the process of fermentation breaking down the non-digestible components of turmeric, facilitating the digestion and acceptance of turmeric in the body.
CurcumaMAX
Curcumin supplements come in various forms, including capsules, powders, and extracts. The American Turmeric Company’s CurcumaMAX line offers a range of fermented curcumin supplements designed to maximize absorption and efficacy. These supplements are ideal for those with chronic or severe illness, athletes and highly active individuals, or anyone simply looking to amplify the health benefits of curcumin in their daily routine. CurcumaMAX products are formulated to provide a potent dose of curcumin at a higher rate than most turmeric products on the market, ensuring that users receive the full spectrum of its health benefits.
