Curcuma 10.000

Turmeric is obtained from the root of Curcuma longa, which belongs to the ginger family. Especially in Asia, turmeric is a popular spice. For over 4000 years, it has also been one of the most important sources of vitality in Indian Ayurveda and is also known as the "Golden Goddess" due to its color. 

One of the plant's main active ingredients is curcumin, which is extracted from the root of Curcuma longa, also known as turmeric. It is a polyphenol, which works at the cellular level and is known for its soothing antioxidant properties. 

Dietary supplement with turmeric 

Both curcumin and other curcuminoids in turmeric can be extracted and concentrated. This makes it possible to produce dietary supplements that are significantly more effective than the raw ingredient itself.  

1 capsule of Curcuma 10.000 from Vitality Nutritionals contains 200 mg of high-quality turmeric extract, of which 190 mg are curcuminoids (that is 140 mg of curcumin). However, the human body can only absorb a small portion of curcumin - via digestion - into the bloodstream. Therefore, Curcuma 10.000 capsules contain 2 mg BioPerine® Black Pepper Extract with 1.9 mg piperine as a natural active enhancer that increases the bioavailability of curcumin. This way you benefit from the entire power of the turmeric root. 

If you generally avoid black pepper or if you are also looking for a product with the highest bioavailability and dosage for individual applications with very high curcumin requirements, we recommend our Curcumin Royal capsules with patented special Curcugreen® turmeric extract. 

Which turmeric supplement for which purpose? 

Wide range of benefits of Curcuma 10.000 capsules 

Numerous research findings indicate that the ingredients in turmeric can support body functions such as digestion, immune system, liver health, cardiovascular function, brain and nerve function, and generally reduce inflammation. Possible health claims have not yet been conclusively evaluated, but based on the available studies, the efficacy described here can be adequately substantiated. 

Digestion 

A clinical study of 60 subjects suggests that turmeric has beneficial effects on digestion by regulating several intestinal bacteria that are important for maintaining the integrity and function of the intestinal barrier. [1] 

Immune system 

Studies show that turmeric can have a positive effect on the immune system and upper respiratory tract. For example, in a randomized double-blind trial, 241 patients with nasal respiratory resistance received either placebo or oral curcumin for 2 months. The therapeutic effect of curcumin was evaluated by nasal symptoms and nasal respiratory resistance. [2] 

Muscles and joints 

Research suggests that turmeric may help with exercise-related inflammation as well as joint and muscle pain. A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bioavailable turmeric extract in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The results of the study suggest that bioavailable turmeric extract may be effective in alleviating symptoms of knee osteoarthritis. [3] 

Heart and circulation 

A systematic review of the protective effects of curcumin against various cardiovascular diseases suggests that turmeric may be effective against cardiovascular problems by modulating signaling pathways involved in oxidative stress, apoptosis and inflammation. [4] 

Liver 

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study examined the effects of taking 70 mg of curcumin per day compared with a placebo over an 8-week period. The results indicate that turmeric may have beneficial effects on the liver by reducing liver fat and possibly helping to lower serum levels such as total cholesterol. [5] 

Cognitive functions 

Some studies also suggest that turmeric improves cognitive function, due to its ability to increase cerebral blood flow and oxygenation. For example, one study among the elderly population investigated whether turmeric supplements could improve blood flow and blood volume in the brain during brain activation resulting from a dynamic handgrip exercise. During exercise, changes in brain oxygenation, as well as blood volume, were higher in the turmeric group than in the placebo group. [6] 

Piperine active enhancer 

Black pepper has been used in human food since ancient times and is one of the most widely used spices in the world. BioPerine® is a patented piperine extract obtained from black pepper that contains at least 95% piperine in a form that is easily absorbed by the body.  

Piperine is added to many dietary supplements to increase their bioavailability. It has been used for over 20 years as a means of improving bioavailability and has been found to increase the absorption of nutrients by more than 30%. 

The concept of "bioavailability enhancers" comes from the traditional ancient system of Ayurveda. The extent to which piperine can improve the absorption of curcumin - some studies speak of a 20-fold increase - is still being discussed by scientists.

Do Curcuma 10.000 capsules have side effects? 

Curcumin has been eaten as an ingredient of turmeric spice for thousands of years. Some positive properties of turmeric go back to the fact that turmeric stimulates gastric acid. For sensitive people this can cause reflux. In this case, turmeric should be taken with food. Because of its fat-soluble property, meaning that it dissolves in fat or oil, it is advisable to take curcumin with a high-fat meal. 

The European Food Safety Authority EFSA recommends that one should not consume more than 2 mg of curcumin per kilogram of body weight per day. According to the online portal verbraucherzentrale.de, pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid supplements containing turmeric. People suffering from gallstones should not take turmeric extracts. 

In dietary supplements, turmeric is often combined with black pepper to increase the bioavailability of the turmeric ingredients due to the piperine contained in the pepper. The Bundesinstitut für Risikobewertung (German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, BfR) recommends that adults should not consume more than 2 mg of isolated piperine per day via dietary supplements and that pregnant women should not use such products. 

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Curcuma 10.000 capsules are also not recommended for children under 18 years of age or in cases of cholangitis, liver disease, gallstones and other diseases of the bile ducts. Individuals taking anticoagulants, anticancer drugs, immunosuppressants, or other medications should consult a physician.
