Cell-Active Curcumin Plus contains curcumin from turmeric and gingerols from ginger root. Cell-Active Curcumin Plus is a natural phytonutrient complex. Cell-Active Curcumin Plus contains curcumin (from turmeric) and gingerols (from ginger root) - two polyphenolic compounds (natural chemicals found in many fruits, vegetables, and other plants)
Both ginger root and the dried turmeric stem have a long history of traditional use. The inflammatory process is complex, involving the up-regulation of a series of enzyme and signalling proteins in tissues and cells. Cox-2 (Cyclo oxygenase-2) is a protein that acts as an enzyme and specifically speeds the production of certain chemical messengers called prostaglandins. Some of these messengers are responsible for pain, inflammation and swelling.
Cell-Active Curcumin Plus now includes Longvida® Optimised Curcumin. The patented technology behind Longvida® renders the curcumin highly permeable, soluble and stable. It is the next generation of curcumin technology, superior to liposomal.
Longvida® is scientifically proven to be up to 285 times more bioavailable than standard 95% curcumin. Longvida® was developed by neuroscientists in the US and is one of the only curcumin supplement ingredients to undergo systematic “gold-standard” randomised controlled trials for both efficacy and safety.
Research has demonstrated that the bioavailability of curcumin is generally poor resulting in low plasma and tissue levels (because of poor absorption, rapid metabolism and rapid systemic excretion). Longvida® has been developed to overcome poor bioavailability.
