Product Highlights

Turmeric is a common spice, but you may have already heard about some of the uncommon benefits of curcumin, the compound that gives turmeric its yellow color. More than just a powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, curcumin has been studied for its protective effects on the health of many body systems.

Typically, curcumin is poorly absorbed into the blood stream through the digestive tract.  Curcumall^TM is more readily absorbed than most available curcumin products due to its extraction process and form. This technologically advanced formula delivers more curcumin to the blood while optimizing its efficacy to:

• Maintain healthy cell function
• Help maintain cholesterol levels within a healthy range
• Support healthy digestive function and soothe gastrointestinal inflammation
• Assist in maintaining a healthy liver
• Help maintain joint health and ease muscle pain
• Support cardiovascular health
• Help maintain glucose levels already within a healthy range
• Preserve healthy brain function

Curry for Your Health

Curcumin, contained in the common spice turmeric, may help mitigate a wide range of health issues. Ongoing research is examining the power of this traditional spice to confirm its potential to maintain health status and help you live well longer. We suggest spicing up your menu with a few new curry dishes.

Try adding turmeric any time you cook Asian, Indian and African dishes, such as rice, vegetables, chicken and fish curries, stir-fry, stews and casseroles.

This recipe for curried rice salad is a good option for a serving of whole grains. We suggest using extra virgin olive oil in place of the sesame oil. Basic curry powder does not contain much curcumin, so to boost the healthful content of the dish, try using ½ teaspoon each of turmeric and cumin powders instead of the curry powder.

Legumes are a healthy source of plant proteins and fiber. Try a Three Bean Cassoulet that uses three different bean varieties and is just 10% fat. Incorporating curcumin makes for a tasty variation that can boost the benefits even more—omit the bay leaf and substitute turmeric, cumin and coriander (½ – 1 tsp each) for the parsley, basil and thyme.

Try some Lowfat Indian Cuisine like masala and lemon rice to envigorate your taste buds.

Curried cauliflower with chick peas combines a cruciferous vegetable, legume and curry. What could be healthier?

Health News Radar

	Curcumin May Help Hearts One of the best ways to protect your heart is to adjust your diet and include plenty of exercise in your regular routine. But there are also nutrients that are indicated to help maintain cardiovascular health. Curcumin, a yellow pigment found in turmeric, is one of the ingredients to heart health currently under investigation.
	Revolutionary Curcumin Delivery System Discovered A father and son team has discovered a nanotech delivery system for curcumin, a powerful anti-cancer agent. For now, a liquid formula is the best available delivery of the nutrient, but a nanotech system would make it easier to treat patients with this potent therapy.
	Clinical Trial Points to Benefits of Curcumin Curcumin is not well absorbed when taken orally, according to current research. However, a clinical trial found benefits resulted from small amounts present the blood stream, suggesting that not much of the nutrient is needed to be effective.
	Studying the Obesity-Fighting Effects of Curcumin In a study published in the journal Endocrinology, researchers fed curcumin to obese mice to examine the effects on weight, body fat and glucose tolerance. The mice experienced a small decrease in weight and fat levels, even while on a fatty diet. They also had lower levels of inflammation in their livers and fat tissues.
	Curcumin Helps the Immune System Scientists showed that curcumin increases the production of proteins that cause immune cells to proliferate and reduces the production of proteins that destroy immune cells.
