For centuries, turmeric has been a trusted remedy for common ailments. From coughs and colds to stomach troubles and insect bites, turmeric has been the go-to herb. Its secret? Curcumin<\/strong>, turmeric\u2019s main component, known for its powerful healing properties.<\/p>\n\n

The only problem is that curcumin is poorly absorbed by the body, making traditional turmeric supplements less effective. That\u2019s where Curcumin Phytosome<\/strong><\/a> comes in. It enhances absorption, allowing you to enjoy the full range of curcumin\u2019s health benefits.<\/p>\n\n

What\u2019s Meriva? And What\u2019s Curcumin Phytosome? Are They The Same Thing?<\/h2>\n\n

Meriva<\/strong> is a patented curcumin delivery system developed by the Italian biotech company, Indena. It\u2019s designed to improve curcumin\u2019s bioavailability, or how well it\u2019s absorbed by the body.<\/p>\n\n

In regular supplements, curcumin is simply packed into capsules or tablets. This method doesn\u2019t improve absorption, so most curcumin isn\u2019t used by the body and is wasted. Meriva changes this by binding curcumin to phosphatidylcholine<\/strong>, a compound found in cell membranes. This combination, called curcumin phytosome<\/strong>, makes it easier for the body to absorb.<\/p>\n\n

Studies show that Meriva curcumin <\/strong>is absorbed up to 2900% better<\/strong> than regular curcumin!1<\/a><\/sup> <\/strong>Without this enhanced delivery system, most curcumin supplements are ineffective. That\u2019s why Meriva is considered the superior choice for getting the most out of curcumin.<\/p>\n\n

If you want to know more about Meriva, we published an ultimate guide to Meriva Curcumin here<\/strong><\/a>, so do check it out as well!<\/p>\n\n

How Meriva Curcumin Phytosome Can Help Improve Your Quality of Life\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n

Taking Meriva curcumin lets you unlock curcumin\u2019s incredible benefits. Here are the top ten:<\/p>\n\n

1) Curcumin fights free radicals as a potent antioxidant<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Free radicals are unstable molecules produced during metabolism and immune responses. Left unchecked, they cause oxidative stress, damaging cells, proteins, and even DNA, which can lead to health issues.<\/p>\n\n

Antioxidants neutralize free radicals. Curcumin joins the ranks of powerful antioxidants like glutathione and vitamins A, C, and E. If your diet lacks antioxidants, curcumin supplementation can help.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

A 6-week study showed that patients who supplemented with curcumin enjoyed higher antioxidant levels<\/strong> in their blood plasma.2<\/a><\/sup> As for the dosage, 500mg per day<\/strong> is enough to see significant changes in plasma antioxidants.3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

2) Curcumin reduces chronic inflammation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Inflammation protects the body from injury and infection, but chronic inflammation leads to serious diseases like arthritis, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.4<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

Curcumin is a natural anti-inflammatory that fights chronic inflammation effectively. Users of our Intelligent Labs\u2019 Curcumin Phytosome supplements report reduced symptoms. This aligns with a study where osteoarthritis patients experienced less pain, reduced inflammation markers, and improved mobility<\/strong> after taking Meriva curcumin phytosome.5<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

3) Curcumin boosts mood and memory<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Curcumin helps increase serotonin and dopamine, improving mood and relieving depression<\/strong>.6<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

A 2018 study found that taking 90 mg of curcumin twice daily improved memory and attention<\/strong> in middle-aged and older adults. Brain scans revealed reduced amyloid and tau accumulation, which are linked to cognitive decline.7<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

Other research also highlights curcumin\u2019s ability to lower anxiety and depression episodes with doses of at least 250 mg daily over four months.8<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

4) Curcumin phytosome supports healthy brain function\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Dementia rarely presents in younger people, but it does happen. Amongst the elderly, however, dementia is a lot more common, with Alzheimer\u2019s being the most common form. Chronic inflammation is also said to be one of the root causes of Alzheimer\u2019s.4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n

As a natural anti-inflammatory, curcumin may also help patients with dementia and cognitive decline<\/strong>. A Japanese study observed significant improvements in Alzheimer\u2019s patients who took 764 mg of turmeric powder<\/strong><\/a> daily (equivalent to about 100mg of curcumin) for three months. Symptoms like anxiety, agitation, and urinary incontinence reduced, and after a year, patients were living more peacefully.9<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

5) \u00a0 Lowers risk of cardiovascular disease<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Did you know heart disease and stroke are two of the world\u2019s top killers? According to the World Health Organization<\/a>, millions of people die from these 2 diseases each year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

While not a cure-all, curcumin reduces key risk factors for cardiovascular disease<\/strong>. A 2020 review found that curcumin phytosome reduced atherosclerosis indicators like serum lipids and inflammatory markers.10<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

Additionally, coronary bypass patients in Thailand who took 4g of curcumin daily had lower risks of heart attacks and reduced inflammation<\/strong> compared to a placebo group.11<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

6) Helps prevent and manage Type 2 Diabetes symptoms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

A high-calorie diet loaded with sugar and processed foods can lead to weight gain, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, curcumin phytosome may help prevent it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

In a study on pre-diabetics, 240 participants took either curcumin or a placebo for nine months. Not a single person in the curcumin group developed diabetes<\/strong>, while 16% of the placebo group did. Curcumin also improved beta cell function<\/strong> (these are the cells that make insulin), reduced weight<\/strong><\/a>, and trimmed waistlines<\/strong>.5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n

In type 2 diabetics, curcumin improved insulin sensitivity, lowered triglycerides, reduced fat, and slimmed waistlines\u2014factors that reduce heart disease risk.12<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

7) Slows down aging\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Curcumin\u2019s antioxidant properties help fight free radicals<\/strong>, which accelerate aging. These harmful molecules come from both internal processes (e.g., metabolism) and external sources like UV rays, pollution, and stress.13<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

While aging is inevitable, curcumin can help slow its effects and protect against premature signs of aging<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

8) Curcumin phytosome relieves pain naturally<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Curcumin is a powerful natural analgesic<\/strong>. It reduces pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis patients, and studies show it\u2019s comparable to 1g of acetaminophen when taking 2g of Meriva<\/strong> (400mg curcumin) daily.14<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

Unlike acetaminophen, which can harm the liver and kidneys if overused, curcumin is safe at doses up to 12g per day<\/strong> with minimal risk of toxicity.15<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

9) Improves vision and eye health<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Curcumin may protect and restore vision<\/strong>. In a study, patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (a condition causing vision loss) took 1.2g of Meriva (240mg curcumin) daily for 12 months. Most patients saw significant improvements.16<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

A 2019 review highlighted curcumin\u2019s potential for treating major eye diseases<\/strong>, including glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and dry eye disease.17<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

10) \u00a0Fights various types of cancer<\/h3>\n\n

Animal studies show that curcumin can slow cancer cell growth, shrink tumors, and limit progression.18<\/a><\/sup> This is really promising and exciting news for us humans! While clinical trials are ongoing, early results are promising.19<\/a><\/sup> The good thing is that curcumin is affordable, easily available, and has no significant side effects.<\/p>\n\n

Additionally, curcumin may enhance cancer therapy by reducing chemotherapy and radiotherapy side effects<\/strong>. Survival rates were also higher among cancer patients taking curcumin compared to a placebo.20<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n
