Turmeric - Supporting Blood Flow & More through Nitric Oxide Production

Turmeric, a spice often used in curry, has been making a lot of headlines lately -- not just in recipes either. Turmeric belongs to the ginger family, and can be found in exotic recipes and herbal remedies alike.

Turmeric's most common active components, curcuminoids, offer strong antioxidant activity, tissue comfort support, and immune boosting benefits.

More specifically, curcuminoids promote the body's production of its most powerful antioxidant, glutathione. Glutathione acts to protect cells from damage, enhance immune system response, and aid the liver in detoxifying harmful substances.

Tumeric Boosting Brain & Immune Health

Most recently, tumeric has been shown to aid the immune system in clearing out Alzheimer's-related plaque on the brain.

More specifically, researchers from the David Geffen School of Medicine and the Human BioMolecular Research Institute, found that a chemical called bisdemethoxycurcumin, found in curcuminoids, boosted immune cells called macrophages to clear amyloid beta -- the protein responsible for Alzheimer's-related brain plaques.

This study both holds importance both in investigating tumeric's specific role in spurring the immune system, and also the broader implications of how the immune system's health influencing Alzheimer's disease.

Turmeric: Supporting Joint and Tissue Comfort, Heart Health & More

Recent studies also show curcuminoids and other curcuma rhizomes may help support joint comfort and combat muscle fatigue, by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines, cyclooxygenase-2, prostoglandins, and leukotriens.

Curcuminoids have also shown to promote heart health by inhibiting platelet-activating factor, and thus platelet aggregation which can lead to deadly clots.

Lastly, tumeric and curcuminoids are being studied in conjunction with the immune system and cancer, gastrointestinal comfort, and HIV.

You can find a hefty dose of tumeric, along with boswellia and MSM, in our Arthro 3.
