Curcumin is the amazing active compound that is found within the turmeric root. It has long been used as treatment in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines. It’s both antioxidant-rich and a fantastic daily supplement for promoting a healthy inflammation response in the body. To get the full benefits of curcumin however, it must come with the right support ingredients.
So you know that curcumin has some seriously impressive health benefits, but if you've been doing your homework, then you probably also know that curcumin ALONE is poorly absorbed by the body — making bioavailability a MAJOR issue. Bioavailability is the amount of a substance that actually enters your bloodstream so you get the health benefits you're looking for. Without it, you're just wasting your money.
UNTIL NOW
Since curcumin is fat soluble, delivering it with a fat source (a healthy oil), makes it fully bioavailable to your body — giving you access to all of those health benefits. Smarter Curcumin comes in a liquid veggie softgel with Black Seed Oil and other smart support ingredients making it the most bioavailable curcumin you can buy!
Studies have shown that curcumin may work by reducing certain key inflammation-promoting enzymes in the body. It performed well in some studies, promoting comfort and flexibility without the side-effects associated with the over-the-counter options; making it a great natural alternative. Athletes and weekend warriors alike are also using it for muscle and joint health recovery, too.
Antioxidants play a role in keeping our joints healthy; your body uses them to combat free radicals. Free radicals are unstable particles that are created as a result of millions of chemical reactions in the body. They can cause oxidative stress and damage on a cellular level. When scientists examined the blood and joint fluid of patients suffering from joint discomfort, they saw an increase in free radical activity, and lower levels of antioxidants. Curcumin being rich in antioxidants, can give you a healthy supply.
Curcumin, as a very powerful natural antioxidant, helps reduce and neutralize free radicals, which damage and destroy your cells and DNA and cause accelerated aging. Since most aging disorders are driven by oxidative stress, this makes curcumin a very important daily supplement as we get older.
Your immune system is a network of various organs, tissues, and cells that work together to protect your body.
Maintaining a healthy heart involves many factors, especially eating healthy and routine exercise. Adding curcumin to your healthy diet may have many benefits when it comes to protecting your heart. Oxidized LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) particles that have been disrupted by free radicals may produce inflammation in the cardiovascular system. Studies suggest that the antioxidant effects of curcumin can help fight those free radicals.
Curcumin has been shown to calm the digestive system, helping to relieve gas, bloating, and other stomach and bowel issues. It works differently than probiotics or enzymes — naturally soothing the gut, and reducing the overproduction of acid.
Your liver plays an important role in stabilizing and balancing the maintenance of your body. The health of your liver can be directly related to oxidative stress and proinflammatory substances. Curcumin may help boost antioxidant defenses to help the liver detoxify and restore balance.
The connection between inflammation and cognitive health cannot be overstated.
Smarter Curcumin is not just different... it's better! We formulate for maximum bioavailability and absorption which REQUIRES three things that most curcumin brands don't, or can't, deliver:
We start with the most active form of curcumin you can get, called 95% tetra-hydro curcuminoids. This premium curcumin is already pre-converted to the most bioavailable form, so it goes to work in your body almost immediately. All other forms of curcumin take hours or more for your body to convert to begin working.
Powdered curcumin supplements (the type you see everywhere) are too difficult for your body to absorb on its own, making them essentially a waste of your money. To make curcumin bioavailable, manufacturer's need to either:
A. Heat it
B. Change its pH level
C. Use an oil-based delivery.
Options A and B just aren't possible without killing the good stuff that curcumin's known for. And option C? Most supplement manufacturers simply don't have the technology to produce an oil-based curcumin supplement.
So why the oil? Since curcumin is fat-soluble, it has to be delivered with a fat source, so that you can get enough of it into your bloodstream to get the health benefits you want. But when it comes to bioavailability, not just any fat will do. We use black cumin seed oil because its essential fatty acids allow your body to absorb the curcumin, and it further supports your body's healthy immune and inflammatory responses too. In fact, black cumin seed oil may be the most compatible ingredient to curcumin in existence. Black cumin (Nigella sativa) is one of the oldest plants cultivated on earth, with over 600 studies demonstrating its multitude of health benefits.
Have you ever heard the expression, "the sum is greater than its parts"? Another reason Smarter Curcumin works so well is because it's formulated with supporting ingredients that work synergistically to further increase its potency and benefits. They include:
Ginger: Ginger provides added digestive support. It's also a close botanical relative to turmeric and has many overlapping nutrients and benefits. Research shows that when the two are combined they have an increased positive healing effect.
Astragulus and Ginseng:
This proprietary combination of the herbs Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus, called AstraGin®, has been shown to increase nutrient absorption by 92%. †† Astragulus is from one of the most powerful immune-building plants on the planet. Plus, it’s an adaptogen, meaning it activates when you're under stress to lower cortisol levels.
Sunflower Lecithin (non-GMO): Lecithin provides additional benefits for your heart and liver. It's an essential nutrient required by the body, and is rich in choline and other essential fatty acids and phospholipids that we often don't get through diet alone.
