Orlando, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/25/2015 -- There are many factors that negatively affect immune system health such as stress, age, and poor nutrition. Today, people are resorting to a variety of measures just to improve their immunity against a range of ailments. Taking nutritional supplements such as glucosamine is one of the most popular remedies to improve the immune system.
Turmeric is one of the most powerful immunity boosting supplements today. People are almost always susceptible to infections and diseases. However, those who have a strong immune system have natural defenses, and they are less likely to suffer from ailments caused by bacteria and viruses.
"The therapeutic effects of the spice are believed to come from its phytochemical called curcumin. Curcumin contains anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
Having a strong immune system is important as it can reduce the likelihood of people getting sick. However, a weak immune system exposes one to a variety of conditions such as cough, cold, and chest congestion. Having a healthy diet and lifestyle are one of the measures people can take to strengthen their immunity. Getting adequate and good quality sleep also helps strengthen the immune system.
According to the research published in the journal PLOS ONE (Public Library of Science), curcumin can act as anti-inflammatory agent to boost immune system health. Turmeric can be consumed in its raw form, but there are also turmeric powders available. Unfortunately, curcumin has low bioavailability, and this means its absorption inside the body is limited. There are natural ingredients such as black pepper that are believed to increase curcumin's bioavailability.
Nicholas Young, lead author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher in rheumatology and immunology at Ohio State, tried to determine if making curcumin's therapeutic effects widely available inside the body can significantly help fight diseases. He revealed that there are natural ingredients that can help effectively deliver the therapeutic effects of curcumin. When these substances are combined with curcumin, the body is able to absorb the nutrients better.
In an animal-based study, it was found that curcumin has successfully stopped the recruitment of immune cells related to obesity and heart disease when overactive. The phytochemical was also able to fight inflammation. Curcumin has long been used as an anti-inflammatory agent for a wide range of diseases. It is particularly popular among individuals with arthritis, as it is believed to fight pain and inflammation.
Curcumin supplements with a black pepper extract called BioPerine are extremely popular these days. These supplements are believed to provide more therapeutic benefits (http://amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI/).
