Decent Turmeric Curcumin
I have joint pains and other health problems and have been putting turmeric in my health shake that I drink in the mornings to help with the problems that I have, for over a year. It is wonderful being able to take this in capsule form, which I take along with my shake.
This Tumeric with Curcumin and Biopene is by Renew Actives.
Maybe it is common knowledge to some, but I learned that Curcumin, the main ingredient in Tumeric, is very difficult for our bodies to absorb. To help with absorption, Biopene (black pepper extract), is recommended, in order for our bodies to absorb the needed amount of Curcumin.
Regardless of what brand you get, in my research, make sure that it says 95% Curcumin on the bottle and that it has Biopene, which this has.
This has 1200mg of Tumeric (Curcuma Longa) and 100mg of Tumeric 95% Curcuminoids. Curcumin and curcuminoids are closely related as Curcumin is the primary of curcuminoid, or chemical compound found in turmeric. Turmeric contains two other curcuminoids: desmethoxycurcumin and bis-desmethoxycurcumin. Curcuminoids increase the ability of curcumin to dissolve, making it readily available for use in a supplemental form.
Each bottle I looked at varied in how much Biopene they had, normally between 5mg - 10 mg. This bottle has 10mg.
Inactive Ingredient: Cellulose (Vegetable Capsules).
There are also other health benefits such as improving digestion, brain function & memory, promotes cardiovascular health, reduces inflammation, enhances immune, nervous system and etc.
I really like that this is made in the USA, manufactured in FDA facility and has the Good Manufacturing Practice seal. This has no binders, fillers or artificial ingredients. Gluten Free and is Non GMO. I wish this had more curcuminoids and was organic.
