Specifications: We supply export quality Curcumin (95%) 300mg tablets. (Turmeric extract 300mg) Turmeric is a yellow-flowered perennial plant found in India and throughout Asia. The root of the plant is used both as a spice and for health benefits. The active ingredient is curcumin, which is obtained by scalding, drying and then grinding the root like stem of the plant to form a yellow powder. This is the same part of the plant used to flavour and colour foods. Each curcumin tablet contains 300mg of standardised extract (20:1) equivalent to 10,000mg of root powder. Our formulation is a high strength root extract standardised to provide 95% curcumin. Benefits: Curcumin is the primary anti-inflammatory plant of ayurvedic medicine (Indian traditional medicine). It has been used for centuries to treat arthritis, indigestion and a host of other ailments such as irritable bowel syndrome. In the early 1970s researchers uncovered the science behind its efficacy - notable inflammation-fighting compounds called curcuminoids. The curcumin in turmeric reduces inflammation by lowering histamine levels and increasing production of natural cortisone by the adrenal glands. Turmeric is also an antioxidant with a similar power to that of Vitamin C and E. Antioxidants provide cell protection by 'mopping up' unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals that can otherwise cause cell damage which is associated with cancer formation, ageing and many diseases of older age.
