CurcuSelect® offers researched support for a healthy inflammation response with 500 mg of Meriva® per serving. Meriva® is a clinically researched, proprietary ingredient made by complexing high potency curcumin extract with sunflower lecithin to create a unique phytosome delivery system providing maximum absorption and benefits.

Curcumin is the general name given to the bright yellow pigment found abundantly in the roots and rhizomes of turmeric (Curcuma longa) and other plants. A relative of ginger root, turmeric is well-known both as a flavorful curry spice and as a highly revered therapeutic herb in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years.

Curcumin is one of the most well-researched natural agents for treating a host of health conditions, especially conditions for which inflammation is a hallmark. Studies suggest curcumin acts as both an antioxidant and as an antimicrobial agent. It has been researched to help regulate the immune system, support gastrointestinal health and protect the liver, brain and cardiovascular system. Curcumin also has been researched both as a chemopreventive agent and for its potential usefulness in helping patients recover from the effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

Curcumin is thought to function as a kind of "master switch" in helping to support a healthy inflammation response throughout the body. Its extensively researched benefit potential, coupled with a well-documented lack of serious or harmful side effects, make curcumin one of the most promising natural treatments available today. However, because curcumin is a fat-soluble compound, it is often difficult to absorb. Meriva®, the proprietary curcumin phytosome complex found in CurcuSelect® was developed to overcome this problem with optimized absorption, superior stability and enhanced overall bioavailability.
