Curcumin Meriva

Curcumin:Curcumin is the active component of Turmeric root, and one of the most investigated botanicals backed by thousands of published studies. The multiple types of curcuminoids contained in curcumin demonstrate significant abilities to protect cells and tissues throughout the body against environmental stress, toxins, and the normal effects of aging1,2 .*

Sunflower Lecithin:Lecithin, also known as phosphatidylcholine, is an important component of cell membranes. The Meriva® phytosome complex joins turmeric extract with lecithin to significantly enhance the bioavailability of its curcumin content, providing 29x better absorption than standard curcumin extracts1,6,7 .*
