Curcumin: Anti-inflammatory, Anti-oxidant & Anti-carcinogenic


Curcumin from turmeric is used in Ayurvedic (Indidan) and Chinese medicine for thousands of years for joint and immune system health.  It reduces inflammation by promoting healthy levels of histamine and cortisone.  Studies have shown that curcurmin can be as effective as prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) when used to treat joint pain and swelling in people with arthritis, without side effects such as abdominal bleeding or stomach upset commonly associated with prolonged use of NSAIDs.

Also, curcumin is unique from other anti-cancer supplements because it can actually block chemicals from getting inside the cells.  It can also interfere with pesticides that mimic estrogen.  It has the ability to suppress the proliferation of a wide variety of tumor cells and inhibit harmful molecules and enzymes.

Curcumin is a natural detoxifier too! It helps protect the liver from damaging effects of alcohol, toxic chemicals and some pharmaceutical drugs.  It also stimulates the production of bile which is needed to digest fat and kill bacteria. 

Studies are showing that curcumin supplementation may prevent, or be helpful with, the following conditions: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS, HIV), Aging, Asthma, Atherosclerosis (heart disease), Cancer, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Cataracts, Immunodepression (immune function), Inflammation (including bursitis), Peptic Ulcers and Rheumatoid Arthritis.

It’s not too late to plan for a long and healthy life! Curcumin supplementation is offered through Health For Life.
