Meriva® Turmeric Complex 500mg 60 Tabs

If you love to eat Asian food chances are you already have some idea of what turmeric is and how it is used in the wonderful world of food. It has long been used in Asian cuisine and more specifically Indian food. It has been a staple spice in most households in Southeast Asia. It is often used to add colour to condiments and various sauces and aside from that we can’t forget the kind of flavour it brings to any dish. It has been one of the main components in any curry powder. This herb is a distant cousin of the ginger root and it is derived from curcuma aromatic. Evidence suggests that it originated in Western India and has been cultivated in those regions since ancient times and later reached other parts of the world like China, Africa and Jamaica. In modern times it is now cultivated in different tropical regions all over the world. It however was not initially cultivated to be a spice and instead it was used as a dye. It was not until later that the natives realized that it has more use as a spice and also as a medicine because turmeric also has been shown even in ancient times to have various medicinal properties. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine in Indian culture for centuries. So it is not surprising that in the modern world, that notion has carried over.

Turmeric has been shown to have great anti inflammatory properties. It is able to block the production of the COX 2 enzyme which is responsible for our body’s inflammatory responses and cause pain in the affected region of our body and in this case, it is commonly the joints. This is the reason why it has been a popular all natural remedy for people suffering from chronic arthritis.

It also has garnered some attention as a possible cancer fighter as it also has antioxidant properties. It is able to function well as a free radical fighter and is able to prevent cell damage. It even has shown promise to be a substance that may help repair DNA and prevent further damage, therefore allowing the slowing down of the aging process.

Turmeric also has been found in various studies to possibly be able to help with high blood pressure. It all stems from the potency of turmeric to lower bad cholesterol in the body or LDL and at the same time help with increasing good cholesterol levels in the body or HDL.

Like most substances, turmeric also gets all these benefits from its active ingredient and in this case it is known as Curcumin. Curcumin is one of the curcuminoid compounds in turmeric which are most responsible for its anti inflammatory effects. So it is important that it is absorbed well by the body and that is what the Meriva brand can do for you as this unique extract of turmeric will increase bioavailability of curcumin by more than 20 folds.
