Curcumin, the active compound extracted from turmeric root, is touted for its ability to mediate the body's natural response to physical, chemical, and emotional stressors. In particular, if normal oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways get out of balance a whole host of health issues may result. Curcumin may support health in a wide variety of tissues in the body as it supports normal inflammatory balance and tissue protection via its antioxidant properties. Joint and cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and normal blood sugar maintenance are areas with expanding research regarding the potential of curcumin to benefit health. Longvida® makes use of a patented technology that permits maximal absorption of free-form curcumin into the bloodstream and target tissues without the use of added ingredients like piperine. This increased bioavailability allows Longvida® to support well-being in several areas of health.
