Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 08/20/2014 --Curcumin is a word that many may have heard, but few know what it is or what it does. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, a botanical that’s widely used in traditional Asian and East Indian medicinal practices to reduce inflammation. Scientific research performed around the world has demonstrated that curcumin is a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent.

“Science has shown that curcumin can be as effective as some traditional prescription medications for pain relief, and it doesn’t have the dangerous side effects associated with many pharmaceuticals,” said VitaBreeze spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.

Dietary supplements containing curcumin provide consumers with an all-natural herbal formula that can ease the inflammation associated with arthritis and joint disease that leads to swelling and pain. As a potent antioxidant, curcumin works to neutralize free radicals that collect in the body and contribute to the aging process.

The most promising and comprehensive study to date on the efficacy of curcumin was published by ethnobotanist, Dr. James A. Duke, in Alternative & Complimentary Therapies. His research showed that curcumin was more effective than traditional pharmaceuticals in treating a wide variety of conditions in which inflammation was a factor.

Arthritis is a symptom that accompanies more than 150 diseases and syndromes. An injury, disease and aging can all contribute to arthritis pain. Curcumin contains potent antioxidant properties that neutralize free radicals that damage cells within the body and accelerate the aging process.

Free radicals are substances that are present in consumables, the air and UV rays from the sun. They build up over time, inhibiting the body’s ability to repair itself. Curcumin works at the cellular level where free radicals cause damage, rendering them ineffective. It’s been used widely in dietary supplements in Europe, with several patents granted for anti-aging products.

Science has demonstrated that the benefits of the herb are cumulative and individuals shouldn’t expect to see immediate results. Curcumin and similar botanicals typically require at least 60 days to build sufficiently within the body to provide results. Curcumin supplements normally incorporate a black pepper extract to facilitate absorption by the body.

With the availability of curcumin dietary supplements on Amazon.com, consumers no longer must rely on expensive prescription medications that can have deadly repercussions. Curcumin is believed to relieve inflammation that causes pain and provides individuals with a new means of neutralizing free radicals that age the body from within.
