21st Century, Turmeric Complex, 500 mg, 60 Vegetarian Capsules

100% Authentic!- Imported from USA

21st Century Turmeric Complex 500 mg is a dietary supplement designed to support antioxidant activity and overall health. Each vegetarian capsule contains 500 mg of a blend of turmeric root powder and standardized turmeric extract, providing beneficial plant-based antioxidants known as curcuminoids. 

Key Benefits:

• Antioxidant Support: Curcuminoids in turmeric help neutralize free radicals, potentially reducing oxidative stress and supporting overall health.

• Joint Health: Turmeric's anti-inflammatory properties may assist in alleviating joint pain and stiffness.

• Digestive Health: Turmeric has been traditionally used to support digestive function.

Ingredients:

• Turmeric (500 mg): This is the main ingredient, and it typically contains curcumin, which has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
• Black Pepper Extract (Piperine): Some turmeric supplements, including this one, often include piperine, an extract from black pepper that enhances the bioavailability (absorption) of curcumin in the body. Curcumin alone is poorly absorbed, but piperine can increase its absorption by up to 2000%.
• Other Ingredients (varies by formulation): Some brands may add additional ingredients like ginger, which also has anti-inflammatory properties, or other herbal components designed to support joint and overall health.

Health Benefits of Turmeric:

1. Anti-inflammatory Properties: Curcumin is known for its ability to reduce inflammation. This makes it useful for conditions related to chronic inflammation, such as arthritis or inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

2. Antioxidant Effects: Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant, which helps neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals are molecules that can damage cells and contribute to aging and the development of various diseases.

3. Joint Health and Pain Relief: Turmeric is often used to help alleviate joint pain, particularly in cases of osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. The anti-inflammatory properties may reduce swelling and pain in the joints.

4. Brain Health: There’s some evidence that curcumin can increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports the survival of nerve cells. Low BDNF levels are associated with various brain diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.

5. Digestive Health: Turmeric has traditionally been used to support digestion and relieve symptoms like bloating or indigestion. It may also have protective effects on the gut lining and reduce the risk of certain gastrointestinal diseases.

6. Heart Health: Some studies suggest that turmeric and curcumin can help improve heart health by improving the function of the endothelium (the lining of blood vessels) and reducing the risk of heart disease.

7. Skin Health: The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of turmeric might also benefit the skin by reducing redness, irritation, or even helping with conditions like acne or psoriasis.

Dosage:

• Standard dosage: The typical dosage for turmeric supplements ranges from 500 mg to 2000 mg per day, depending on the individual’s needs and the specific formulation.
• With Piperine: If the supplement includes piperine (as in the 21st Century Turmeric Complex), a lower dose may still be effective due to improved absorption.

Possible Side Effects:

Turmeric is generally considered safe for most people when taken in moderate amounts, but it can cause side effects in some cases, especially when taken in high doses. These may include:

• Gastrointestinal issues: Upset stomach, indigestion, or diarrhea in some people.
• Allergic reactions: Some people may experience allergic reactions, though these are rare.
• Blood-thinning effects: High doses of turmeric can act as a blood thinner, so it may interfere with blood clotting. If you are on blood-thinning medications, consult a healthcare provider before using turmeric supplements.
• Interactions with medications: Turmeric can interact with medications, including blood thinners, anti-diabetic drugs, and certain cancer treatments. Always talk to your doctor before starting a supplement.
