Product Notes:
This formulation contains the powerful antioxidant Curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric root), which has been proven to aid in joint mobility and flexibility, as well as assisting in balancing the immune system and the body's inflammatory response.
Curcumin also helps with other inflammatory conditions; for instance, it has even been shown to help relieve pulmonary or lung conditions such as asthma.
To further enhance Curcumin's therapeutic properties, Phytosome (Phosphatidylcholine complex), a fat-soluble component of cell membranes allows for increased absorption and bioavailability of Curcumin in the body compared to other standard Curcumin extracts.

90 mg Curcumin (from Meriva® Turmeric Phytosomes) (Turmeric Root Extract) (Curcuma longa)
Other ingredients: Phosphatidylcholine, Rice Flour, Veg. Capsule (hypromellose, water), Cellulose (Magnesium Stearate, vegetable source) and Silica.
Meriva® is a registered trademark of Indena S.p.A.
