Experience enhanced well-being with Doctor's Best Curcumin 95 and highly absorbable BioPerine: Unleashing the power of turmeric extract for optimal health.

Doctor's Best High Absorption Curcumin is a dietary supplement containing curcumin, which is a natural compound found in the spice turmeric. Curcumin has been studied for its potential health benefits, including its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

The combination of turmeric extract and black pepper extract, in particular BioPerine, is important as it can enhance the absorption and bioavailability of curcumin, the active component of turmeric. Curcumin has a relatively low bioavailability, which means it is poorly absorbed by the body when taken alone. The main reason is that curcumin is rapidly metabolised in the liver and excreted from the body before it can exert its full therapeutic effects.

Black pepper extract, known as BioPerine, contains an active compound called piperine. Piperine has been found to inhibit certain enzymes in the liver that metabolise curcumin. By inhibiting these enzymes, piperine may help to slow down the metabolism of curcumin and prolong its presence in the blood. This allows better absorption and increased bioavailability of curcumin.

In addition to enzyme inhibition, piperine has been shown to improve curcumin absorption by increasing intestinal wall permeability. It does this by affecting transporters in the gut that regulate the absorption of various compounds, including curcumin.

Therefore, the combination of turmeric extract and black pepper extract may improve the absorption and bioavailability of curcumin, maximising its potential health benefits. Studies have shown that the addition of BioPerine can significantly increase curcumin absorption by up to 2,000%.





 

Turmeric and Black Pepper Extract Benefits

 

• Anti-inflammatory effects:

Chronic inflammation is linked to various health problems including heart disease, cancer and autoimmune conditions. Curcumin has been found to inhibit several inflammatory pathways in the body, including the NF-kappaB pathway, which is a key player in the inflammatory response. By reducing inflammation, curcumin may help relieve symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions.
 

• Antioxidant properties:

Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the body's ability to neutralize them with antioxidants. Curcumin acts as a powerful antioxidant, helping to scavenge free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. This could have implications for slowing down the ageing process and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
 

• Joint health:

Curcumin's anti-inflammatory properties may be beneficial for people with joint conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Studies have suggested that curcumin may help reduce joint pain, swelling and stiffness by inhibiting inflammatory mediators and enzymes involved in joint inflammation. It may also support joint mobility and overall joint health.
 

• Digestive health:

Turmeric extract has traditionally been used to support digestion. Curcumin stimulates the gallbladder to produce bile, which aids in fat digestion. It may also help reduce symptoms of indigestion, such as bloating and gas. In addition, curcumin's anti-inflammatory properties may be beneficial for people with inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
 

• Brain health:

Curcumin has gained attention for its potential cognitive benefits. It can cross the blood-brain barrier and may exhibit neuroprotective effects. Curcumin has been found to inhibit the accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques, which are associated with Alzheimer's disease. It may also promote the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports the growth and survival of brain cells.
 

• Heart health:

Curcumin has been investigated for its potential cardiovascular benefits. It may help improve endothelial function, which is essential for maintaining healthy blood vessels and adequate blood flow. Curcumin's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may also help reduce the risk of heart disease by combating oxidative stress and inflammation in the cardiovascular system.
