Both curcumin and other curcuminoids in turmeric can be extracted and concentrated. This makes it possible to produce nutritional supplements that are significantly more effective than the raw ingredient itself.
However, the human body can only absorb a small portion of curcumin into the bloodstream. In addition to the high-quality Curcugreen™ turmeric extract, Curcuma ProEliteX® capsules therefore contain supplementary ingredients that act as natural enhancers for even higher potency and bioactivity.
Curcuma ProEliteX® capsules contain a full-spectrum complex of patented turmeric extract combined with carefully selected complementary ingredients such as ginger, rosehip with natural vitamin C and vitamin D3.
The synergistic effect of Curcugreen™ turmeric extract is based on the interaction of curcuminoids and tumerones. The active components of the root are curcumin, desmethoxycurcumin, bisdesmethoxcurcumin and ar-tumerone. This patented technology ensures not only high bioavailability, but also high bioactivity.
Curcugreen™ is a complex of 100% natural ingredients without synthetic additives: This is a natural complex that the human body can use well. Curcugreen™ has a 700% higher bioavailability than regular turmeric powder, with a retention time of up to 8 hours in blood plasma. 25 human studies prove the properties of Curcugreen™.
Ginger is not only used for colds and gastrointestinal issues, but due to its positive effects, it is also used by physically active people. In endurance sports, ginger provides long-lasting energy and can reduce muscle tension. In weight training, the active ingredients can strengthen blood vessels and prevent inflammation.
In addition to a variety of vitamins and micronutrients which help the body regenerate muscles, ginger contains particularly effective pungent substances and essential oils such as gingerol, shoagol and zingiberen.
Ginger naturally boosts potency: Because ginger has a strong effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa, it can regulate intestinal function to facilitate absorption [1] . Studies indicate that gingerols improve the potency of curcumin and vitamins A, E, C, and B9, as well as B-carotene, silymarin, isoleucine, zinc, and potassium [2].
To sum up, ginger
- can help control inflammatory responses.*
- can support digestion.*
- helps with natural breathing and normal functioning of the respiratory tract.*
- maintains an optimal immune balance in the respiratory tract.*
- contributes to increased vitality and energy.*
The rosehip (Rosa canina L.) contains a high amount of vitamin C, which can be particularly well absorbed by the body due to its highly bioactive form. It is also associated with numerous positive effects, including
- maintaining healthy and mobile joints.*
Numerous studies also show that rosehip can have a positive effect on the joints, which is due to the galactolipids it contains.[3] [4]. In the 1990s, Danish researchers succeeded in isolating this active ingredient from the plant. Galactolipids are thought to help lower CRP levels, which can indicate infection or inflammation in the body. Studies also indicate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of rosehip extract. [5]
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, patients with inflammation in the joints were randomly assigned to receive 5 g of rosehip powder in capsule form or a placebo daily for six months according to the ARA/ACR criteria. The results indicate that these patients could benefit from additional treatment with rosehip powder. [6]
In addition to this, rosehip is said to
- contribute to the normal functioning of the digestive tract and*
- support the body's natural defenses and the immune system.*
Vitamin C is primarily known to support the immune system. It boosts the immune function by supporting white blood cell production and improving immune response. This vitamin is thus an important companion, especially in the dark and cooler season. [7]
Vitamin C also has a strong antioxidant effect, which means that it protects our cells from oxidative stress. This oxidative stress ages our cells and disrupts normal regeneration processes. For this reason, among others, vitamin C is called an anti-aging vitamin. It supports many skin functions and can reduce the signs of time such as pigment spots, wrinkles and sagging skin - especially if these are additionally exacerbated by external influences such as smoking, UV rays, stress, sports or environmental toxins.[7]
In the human body, vitamin C also serves numerous functions in energy metabolism and for normal functioning of the nervous system. It also promotes collagen production and is therefore important for building bones, teeth, cartilage and connective tissue. If the body lacks vitamin C, the connective tissue becomes thin. The skin and joints then lack elasticity. [7]
Vitamin D is actually a collective term for a whole group of vital substances ranging from vitamin D1 to D5. However, the form that is particularly important for our health is vitamin D3, whose scientific name is cholecalciferol. It is converted by the body into the biologically active form in several synthesis steps.
Vitamin D is especially known for its ability to fight infections. It stimulates the production of certain immune cells, and at the same time downregulates excessive immune reactions to a normal level. [8]
The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. An insufficient supply of vitamin D leads to insufficient calcium absorption from food and to the body having to extract calcium from stores in the bones. This can lead to weakening of existing bones and interfere with the formation of new, strong bones. [8]
Vitamin D also supports muscle development and could possibly even to a certain extent protect against age-related muscle loss, as studies have shown. [7] [8]
