Curcumin (Turmeric) is now available with Bioperine - a pepper than enhances the activity of curcumin 2000%. Curcumin is a potent anti-oxidant with specific anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and cholesterol-lowering effects. Curcumin (Turmeric) was first used by Indians over 3000 years ago in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Modern science has found that this extract from the common spice turmeric has remarkable qualities as an antioxidant.82-84 Over time, as our cells continue to be affected by free radicals, or oxidants, organs begin to degenerate and aging accelerates. The body has built-in defense mechanisms to protect itself from free radical damage, but eventually, aging depletes the body's ability to keep oxidants at bay.Curcumin can also help maintain normal healthy platelet function and the normal process of bile excretion. Curcumin is now available with Bioperine - a pepper than enhances the activity of curcumin 2000%. Curcumin is a potent anti-oxidant with specific anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and cholesterol-lowering effects. New studies have tied inflammation to overexpression of a protein molecule called nuclear factor-kappa beta (NFkB). NFkB acts like a switch to turn on genes that produce the body's inflammatory responses. Because NFkB's expression increases in aging adults, scientists have sought ways to modulate NFkB and its effects in the body. Curcumin has been shown to exert powerful anti-inflammatory effects within the body, Curcumin inhibits overexpression of NFkB and acts on substances that activate NFkB. For example, by binding iron and copper in brain tissue, curcumin reduces NFkB activation and inflammatory responses. Curcumin's multifaceted effects include protecting against estrogen-mimicking chemicals, suppressing proinflammatory enzymes, protecting against damaging free radicals, and promoting normal cell cycle growth. Life Extension's Super Curcumin with Bioperine is enhanced with patented Bioperine piperine to ensure optimal quality, potency, and bioavailability. Curcumin is especially recommended for hepatitis C patients. One study found it to be more effective than green tea extract in suppressing viral damage to liver cells. Curcumin induces cancer cell apoptosis. Apoptosis can be defined simply as programmed cancer cell death. Cancer researchers are focusing in on agents that induce apoptosis as the next generation of cancer drugs. Many of the nutrients in the cancer treatment protocol such as selenium, vitamin A, green tea and vitamin D3 induce apoptosis. The most effective nutrient available to induce apoptosis may be curcumin. Curcumin is an antioxidant extract from the spice tumeric that produces a wide range of health benefits. Cancer patients should be taking 2000 mg to 4000 mg, three times a day of curcumin extract on an empty stomach, with a heavy meal if digestive problems arise. In a wide range of cancer cells, curcumin has been shown to induce cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation and block cellular signal transduction, all of which are characteristics of apoptosis according to an article published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer USA (26/1 1996). Super Curcumin with Bioperine Curcumin is a potent antioxidant extract from the spice turmeric that has a wide range of health benefits with specific anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and cholesterol-lowering effects. Cancer researchers are developing agents that induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) as potent anticancer drugs. In common with many of the nutrients in the Cancer Treatment Protocol such as selenium, vitamin A, green tea and vitamin D3, curcumin induces cancer cell apoptosis. In a wide range of cancer cells, curcumin has been shown to induce cell shrinkage, chromatin condensation, and DNA fragmentation, and to block cellular signal transduction. All of these are characteristic of apoptosis-inducing agents according to an article published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer (USA) (26/1/1996). Curcumin provides broad-spectrum effects throughout the body. In addition to being a potent antioxidant, curcumin suppresses the enzyme COX-2. Overexpression of COX-2 is related to the development of certain cancers and chronic inflammatory diseases. By suppressing COX-2 curcumin is thought to help prevent the development of colon cancer and alleviate arthritic conditions. Curcumin also inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation that can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Dosage and Use: Take one capsule once or twice daily with or without food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. |
