Pro Curcumin Forte (capsules)

Overview

Pro Curcumin Forte  (180 capsules = 75 g)– an innovative method for absorbing turmeric!

Pro Curcumin Forte contains the innovative raw material CAVACURMIN® – 40 times higher availability of substances than turmeric roots. This unique form of curcumin is up to 40 times better absorbed because it is attached to water-soluble cyclodextrins.

Pro Curcumin Forte food supplement is enriched with 6 highly effective natural ingredients that help the body prevent and heal chronic inflammation, thereby improving health and preventing premature signs of aging. These are curcumin, tumerosaccharides, black tea extract, ginger, quercetin and vitamin C.

1. Curcumin

Curcumin is the yellow pigment from the Indian spice Curcuma longa.  It is great in fighting low grade inflammation and has a positive effect on nearly all systems of the body.

• antioxidant
• anti-inflammatory
• antibacterial
• antiviral

It is used to detoxify the body, stimulate immune system and is already for long time used in cancer therapy. Curcumin inhibits increased cell cycle and tumor development. Its for a reason that curcumin is listed in European Pharmacopoeia as a phototherapeutic agent.

Curcumin is friends with omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. Curcumin increases the positive anti-inflammatory effect of omega-3. Both these anti-inflammatory natural substances are effective combination in acute and chronic inflammatory diseases.

The difficulty

Curcumin is not water soluble, the intestine resorption is low and therefore it has a low bioavailability. Therefore, unless you consume huge amounts of native curcumin daily, it is important to chose a curcumin product with a mechanism improving the resorption – please always keep this in mind.

There are different mechanisms to improve the resorption of curcumin. The most effective are y-cyclodextrin and polysorbate 80. The latter one has a negative effect on obesity and has been proven to induce inflammation, therefore I would not recommend it. Research has shown no risks or concerns of using the y-cyclodetrin, therefore it is a good activating agent for curcumin resorption. There are others too, but their effectiveness is much lower.

2. Tumerosaccharides

This is a part of turmeric that is also vey useful as is pain-relieving and suppresses inflammation. It has a positive effect on the mobility of joints and reduction in joint pain.

3. Black tea extract

Tea has a high concentration of bioactive ingredients, such as polyphenols. Particularly useful are theaflavins, which develop during the fermentation from green to black tea.

• they have proven anti-inflammatory effect.
• lower LDL cholesterol levels and blood pressure, therefore reduces risks of cardiovascular diseases and has a positive effect on heart health.
• support immune system in eliminating aged cells and thus reducing chronic inflammation

4. Ginger

In 2018, ginger was named “medical plant of the year” for a good reason. It has a

• pain relieving
• antoxidant effect
• supports digestive tract
• helps with ausea, gastric ulcers, osteoarthritis and rheumatic arthritis
• antibacterial and anti-funcgicidal effect

5. Quercetin

It is a natural pigment present in many fruits, vegetables, grains and tea. This flavonoid is one of the most abundant antioxidants in the diet and additionally to that is:

• anti-inflammatry
• anti-allergic: reduces inflammation in the airways and the lungs, and can block allergic reaction to pollen.
• immunoprotective
• anti-bacterial
• reduces blood pressure and LDL and reduces risk of heart attack.
• supports immune system in eliminating aged cells and thus reducing chronic inflammation

6. Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, meaning your body can’t produce it. Yet, it has many roles and has been linked to impressive health benefits.

• supports immune system
• antioxidant
• improves curcumin metabolism
• counteracts ageing process

During a common cold, up to 2g vitamin C can be taken to support the immune system.

Thankfully, there has been a lot of research on what our body needs and many laboratories have been working on creating supplements with omega-3, vitamins, minerals and so for.

It is rare though that a food supplement would contain all of the 6 elements we talked about today, in the right dosage and made from the best natural raw materials. I have not been able to find too many supplements that I trust, but there is surely one – PRO CURCUMIN FORTE by my favourite laboratory TISSO. I have been prescribing their PRO EM SAN PUR probiotics for over 15 years now with great health benefits to all my customers without any exception, I believe it is the best probiotic out there. That’s why I am so excited about the PRO CURCUMIN FORTE by the same laboratory. I have long been waiting for a well balanced and highly bioavailable curcumin product and am excited that TISSO has managed to develop a perfectly balanced supplement to fight inflammation.
