Curcumin is the amazing active compound that is found within the turmeric root. It may be one of the most unique nutritional supplements in existence, IF you take the correct, absorbable form (more on that in a minute).

My Top 5 Curcumin Benefits

1. Healthy Inflammatory Response: Scientists now believe that chronic, low-level inflammation plays a major role in most health ailments, from head to toe. Your mind, heart, joints, muscles, eyes, lungs, skin, hair, etc.^1-6*
2. Powerful Antioxidant: It helps neutralize free radical damage, that may accelerate aging.⁷ Additionally, it also helps boost the body's own antioxidant enzymes.⁸*
3. Improves Brain Function: It helps increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which helps preserver youthful brain function..^9,10,14*
4. Heart Health: Curcumin's benefits has been shown to help lower the risk of heart problems associated with inflammation.^11-13*
5. Healthy Immune Function: Helps support healthy immune system response & function.^15,16*

WARNING - The Major Problem With Curcumin

As great as these benefits are, the biggest problem with Turmeric/Curcumin is that it's poorly absorbed.

Which means, if you don't utilize the correct form and dose, you won't get the positive benefits and you'll just be wasting time and money.

Almost all Curcumin extracts (even those with a minimum 95% extract) are only 50% absorbed. So you'll have to take more than double the amount to get the optimal benefits.

3 Most Potent, Highest Absorbable & Scientifically Validated Forms Of Curcumin

This is why we've utilized the 3 most potent and highest absorbable Curcumin extracts - Patented & Scientifically Proven.

Curcumin C3 Reduct® (standardized min 95% tetra-hydro curcuminoids ) - One of the most active forms of Curcumin with 95% tetra-hydro curcuminoids, which is pre-converted and goes to work immediately.

Curcumin C3 Complex® (standardized min 95% total curcuminoids) - Is a patented and scientifically evaluated “Bioprotectant” composition of three Curcuminoids [Curcumin, Demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC)]. It's the most studied and validated Curcumin extract on the market. This is more of a slow-release form, over 12 hours.

BCM-95® Bio-Curcumin® - Is validated to have a 97% absorption rate and almost 9x higher bioavailability in the blood.. The end result is high blood concentrations, in less time. Thus, the positive effects are felt faster at an even lower dose, extended over 8 hours.

Ginger contains numerous beneficial compounds, including gingerols, which have free-radical scavenging and healthy inflammatory supporting properties.¹⁷*

Leukotrienes contribute to dangerous inflammatory reactions. Specific compounds in ginger have been found to help inhibit enzymes that produce leukotrienes.^18,19*

Ginger also works to help reduce inflammation by affecting several other compounds and cellular pathways, including*:

1. Helps support a reduction in levels of inflammatory mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, C-reactive protein, interleukin-1b and interleukin-6.^20-22*
2. Helps support a decrease of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) pathways, which are involved in the initiation of chronic inflammation.^20-22*

One of the problems with aging is higher levels of 5-LOX. 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) is a member of the lipoxygenase family of enzymes. Excess levels of the enzyme 5-LOX cause inflammatory responses that have been linked to common effects in aging individuals (such as joint pain).*

Unfortunately, the typical diet most people eat these days, causes an over production of the 5-LOX enzyme. This further increases pro-inflammatory compounds, which attacks the:

• joints (& soft tissue)
• arterial walls (poor blood flow)
• skin (wrinkles)
• hair (balding)
• and other tissue

Used for centuries to help with inflammatory factors, Boswellia supports and acts as a natural 5-LOX reducer, intervening at the cellular level to minimize its unwanted negative effects.*

Clinical studies reveal that a compound contained in Boswellia called AKBA (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-ß-boswellic acid)^23,24 may be the key to its beneficial action.*

Green tea extract has numerous health benefits, one of them being the powerful anti-inflammatory effects due to the Theaflavin, polyphenols and EGCG.*

White willow bark is known as "nature's aspirin" and has been used for centuries as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory.²⁶* The active ingredient that causes the benefits of willow bark is salicin.

Inflame & Pain Relief™ uses the highest extract, at 25% salicylic acid. This means a lower dose is required, but resulting in more positive benefits.*

Pine bark extract has numerous health benefits: 

• a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-histamine promoter*
• supports healthy blood flow and circulation by strengthening the walls of your blood vessels and capillaries*
• promotes flexible joints by reducing inflammation*

Joint Pain & Inflammation

The cushioning cartilage in your joints become damaged through wear and tear, which can cause inflammation and pain.* This can happen even faster for those that exercise.

Pine bark extract can ease these symptoms as it is:

• a powerful anti-inflammatory promoter*
• supporting the mobility and flexibility of joints*
• helping reduce aches and pains*

Astragin® is a patented form of Astragalus, with over 25 clinical studies. Astragalus is from one of the most powerful immune-building plants on the planet.*

It's an "adaptogen", which means it activates when you're under stress to help promote lower cortisol levels, to help reduce inflammation.* Additionally, it helps increase the absorption of other nutrients by 92%. ³²

Astragalus works by suppressing NF-kB and AP-1 signaling pathways, which is linked to inflammation.*

Best known as a compound found in red grapes and red wine, resveratrol helps promote and maintain optimal health and longevity.³⁴ Inflame & Pain Relief™ contains trans-resveratrol, the form most abundant in red wine, which is well-absorbed and stable.^35,36

• promotes healthy insulin sensitivity*
• encourages enhanced mitochondrial function*
• supports a healthy inflammatory response*
• demonstrated beneficial cardiovascular activity.^37-39*

Potent Anti-Inflammatory

Aside from its indirect antioxidant effects on inflammation, resveratrol also affects very specific inflammatory processes.*

For one, it can help reduce inflammatory COX enzymes, which are also the main target of commonly used painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.⁴⁰*

However, its effects run much deeper than these conventionally targeted enzymes. Resveratrol also helps support the reduction of key anti-inflammatory factors:*

• NF-kB pathway, one of the most important and deeply rooted triggers of inflammation in the body.⁴¹*
• HMGB1, a protein made by immune cells that can cause inflammation and tissue damage.⁴²*
• STAT3, which contributes to problems in most people with constant inflammation.⁴³*

Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that supports healthy immune function and optimal inflammatory response.^46,47*

One of the primary ways quercetin works, is by helping support a reduction of important inflammatory substances and pathways (including COX-2 and CRP), similar to drugs (but without the negatives).*

It also helps reduce the production of prostaglandins, one of the key mediators of the inflammatory response.^48,49*
