Anti-inflammatory support formula beneficial for joint health! How Does NSI® Turmeric Extract Work? Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is an ancient spice native to India and Southeast Asia, best known for its distinctive flavor and yellow color, used in curries and some prepared mustards. Besides being a food additive, turmeric has been used for centuries in Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, and other traditional medicines as a remedy for stomach and liver ailments. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, contains a mixture of powerful phytonutrients known as curcuminoids. Curcuminoids have antioxidant properties, meaning they fight the damaging effects of free radical molecules in the body. Theyve also been shown to have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and significant anti-inflammatory effects. Researchers at M.D. Anderson recently found that curcuminoids play a part in blocking a key biological pathway that causes damage to cells and may lead to their unhealthy, unrestrained growth¹. They shut down nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), known to regulate expression of more than 300 genes that promote inflammatory responses which lead to joint inflammation and cell damage. It also contains Bioperine®, a patented bioavailability enhancer. Bioperine® is derived from piperine, a component of black pepper, which has been found in clinical studies to increase the bioavailability of curcumin twenty-fold². NSI® Turmeric Extract is better because it: Contains Bioperine®, which promotes absorption of nutrients in the GI tract. Has been standardized to 95% curcuminoids, ensuring consistent, potent dosage in every capsule and bottle. ¹ Shishir Shishodia, Gautam Sethi and Bharat B. Aggarwal.
