Portland, OR -- (SBWire) -- 12/09/2014 --Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are one of the most widely prescribed medications for the pain of arthritis and inflammatory conditions. Warnings issued by the Food and Drug Administration about NSAID use has many people turning to a turmeric supplement as an alternative for pain relief.

"Turmeric is an all-natural botanical that's been clinically proven to ease inflammation that causes pain," said VitaBreeze spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan. "It has also been demonstrated to be a potent antioxidant."

The FDA has instructed manufacturers to include printed materials with NSAID medications warning consumers about the dangerous and even deadly side effects that accompany their long-term use. The pharmaceuticals can cause bleeding and ulcers, shortness of breath, water retention and kidney failure. There have also been rare documented cases of liver failure.

Many people with arthritis and other inflammatory conditions are utilizing a turmeric dietary supplement as an alternative for relief from pain and inflammation. Turmeric is a spice used in traditional medicine for centuries by East Indian and Asian practitioners. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin.

Multiple research projects and clinical trials have confirmed the efficacy of turmeric as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agent. It's well tolerated, even during long-term use, and doesn't have the detrimental and even deadly side effects exhibited by NSAIDs.

Clinicians recommend a 750mg dosage of curcumin for maximum effect and caution that the supplement must contain a black pepper extract to enhance absorption. Turmeric passes quickly through the digestive system. A black pepper extract augments absorption by up to 2,000 percent.

Turmeric also excels as an antioxidant. The human body is like a bio-mechanical machine capable of making many of its own repairs. Free radicals accumulate in the body, damaging cells and inhibiting the body's ability to heal itself. They're also responsible for the outward signs of aging. Turmeric actively seeks out free radicals and neutralizes them, rendering them harmless.

A turmeric supplement has multiple advantages and is quickly becoming the product of choice for people seeking an alternative to NSAIDs. An all-natural botanical, turmeric is best known as the spice used in Asian cuisine and is the ingredient that gives mustard its yellow coloring, but it's also now being used as a safe alternative to NSAIDs that can be used in the long-term (http://www.amazon.com/VitaBreeze/pages/7603999011).
