Health benefits at a glance:

Use the curcumin extract in Super Bio-Curcumin® to help support your immune- and inflammatory response regulation and benefit from the many other health benefits that extracts from the superfood turmeric can bring to your body.

Super Bio-Curcumin® Turmeric Extract contains unique curcumin extract that is absorbed up to 7 times more easily and stays up to twice as long in your bloodstream as conventional curcumin supplements.


Why it works:

Turmeric, where curcumin comes from, is no less than a true superfood

Curcumin extracts can inhibit inflammatory factors in the body, support your digestive function, and encourage healthy cell division. It can also contribute to maintaining normal, healthy brain [1-11], platelet and pancreatic function [12-17]. 

And while doing all of this, it can also help to fight free radicals [12,18] and encourage the maintenance of a stable hormone balance.

Life Extension's ultra-potent curcumin formula contains the highly-absorbable BCM-95® extract, which brings out the maximum health benefits of curcumin. It is up to 7 times more absorbable than conventional curcumin supplements and stays twice as long in the bloodstream.


The science behind the product:

Curcumin promotes your body's healthy response to inflammation by inhibiting key inflammatory factors such as NF-kappaB. This is a protein molecule that acts like an "on-switch" in genes governing the body's pro-inflammatory responses. 

In relation to this, curcumin has been shown to exert powerful inhibitory effects on NF-kappaB activation [19-24].

Furthermore, clinical trials suggest that curcumin can promote healthy bowel function and joint health [10, 25-34].

Moreover, curcumin can also benefit your mind. Curcumin extract can promote the health of the immune system by inhibiting histamine release from mast cells [18,35-38]. In some studies, curcumin supported healthy brain function and offered neuro-protective benefits [1-11].

Curcumin also supports pancreatic function by encouraging pancreatic islet health. Curcumin's multifaceted benefits even include antioxidant [39-40] protection as well as hormone balance support. 

Finally, research indicates that curcumin can help protect against estrogen-mimicking chemicals [41-46], inhibit free radicals, and promote normal cell growth.
