What is curcumin?
Curcumin is present in the spice turmeric and frequently used in Indian food. Its chemical makeup is responsible for the yellow coloring of turmeric and is its most active ingredient. For thousands of years, curcumin was used to promote health in India and other parts of Asia. Curcumin is known for being a powerful antioxidant in addition to offering many other health benefits.*
What is glutathione and why is it important?
Glutathione is an antioxidant made of amino acids that the body produces in the liver. It plays an important part in phase II of the detoxification process, helps protect the body against toxins, combats against free radicals and oxidative stress, and promotes immune health.*
I’ve heard that curcumin’s bioavailability is not high. Does that mean nutraMetrix® Curcumin Extreme™ will absorb poorly?
Curcumin does in fact have poor bioavailability and is rapidly metabolized – meaning it needs a little help to make the most of its benefits. nutraMetrix® Curcumin Extreme™ tackles this issue with Curcugreen™†, a safe, clinically studied ingredient with excellent bioavailability so your body can better reap the health benefits of active curcumin.*
Who should take nutraMetrix® Curcumin Extreme™?
