Swanson Curcumin complex is a dietary supplement with a high-quality turmeric extract (Curcuma longa L.) standardised at 95% of biologically active substances - curcuminoids. The product is enriched with a black pepper extract, standardised at 95% of piperine which is necessary for the bioactive compounds in turmeric to be effectively absorbed.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) - a perennial species from India; used as a spice; it contains many biologically active substances called curcuminoids, including curcumin (yellow colourant), desmethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Curcumin is characterised by an anti-inflammatory effect, and its derivative - desmethoxycurcumin – by an antioxidant effect (fighting free radicals). Turmeric shows antiviral, antimicrobial and antifungal characteristics.

Neoplasms: Conducted research shows that curcumin is able to inhibit the growth of an ovarian cancer and angiogenesis - the process of creating new capillaries in tumour cells. Wide-ranged academic studies have shown that curcumin significantly slows down or completely inhibits the development of tumour cells. What is more, it increases the effectiveness of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, as well as enables reducing the dosage in those therapies. It works particularly well with other antioxidants, such as quercetin.

Gastrointestinal tract: Turmeric can be used in treating disorders present in the gastrointestinal tract. It prevents flatulence, congestions, a sensation of fullness, digestive disorders, cholecystitis, ascending cholangitis and gallstone formation. Turmeric stimulates bile secretion and facilitates its flow through the bile duct.

Nervous system: Curcumin has a significant neuroprotective effect (it protects nerve cells). Research has proven its effectiveness in preventing dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Turmeric improves the mood, has an antidepressant effect, probably inhibits the enzyme called monoamine oxidase, whose effect is much higher in people who suffer from depression.

Brain functions: Turmeric contains an important compound for the health of the brain - turmeron that affects the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells in the brain area.

Joints: Turmeric's yellow colourant inhibits the degenerative processes in joint areas through its visible anti-inflammatory characteristics, which is particularly relevant for people who suffer from the degeneration of the muscoskeletal system, sports injuries and other mechanical injuries.

Fat tissue: Turmeric facilitates the reduction of unnecessary fat tissue, as well as prevents the increase of the weight of “bodyfat” during the process of building muscle mass. That is possible thanks to its ability to affect the activity of the hormones (like leptin) that take part in the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. Curcumin also increases the level of adiponectin, which improves the sensitivity of tissue and cells to insulin.

Liver: In conducted experiments, researchers found out that turmeric can protect liver cells from toxins, as well as help to regenerate the organ.

To sum up, Swanson Curcumin complex is a dietary supplement which is quite versatile in terms of health. The substance is recommended for everyone as preventive healthcare, and in some diseases it can prove very effective in the process of therapeutic treatment. It supports the functioning of the liver, the gallbladder, the brain, the nervous system, joints and the gastrointestinal tract. It prevents neoplasms, has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, increases the sensitivity to insulin and leptin and facilitates the reduction of unnecessary fat tissue.
