Each capsule delivers 400mg of curcumin from turmeric root, concentrated to 95% curcuminoids the same grade used in most clinical studies, and roughly 19 to 47 times stronger than raw turmeric powder.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Are Curcuminoids?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurcuminoids are the natural compounds in turmeric that give it its golden colour and most of its health benefits. There are three of them: curcumin (the most abundant, making up about 75–80%), demethoxycurcumin (about 15–20%), and bisdemethoxycurcumin (about 3–5%). Raw turmeric root only contains about 2–5% curcuminoids by weight (Tayyem et al., \u003cem\u003eNutrition and Cancer\u003c\/em\u003e, 2006). A 95% standardized extract is far more concentrated meaning you get a consistent, meaningful dose of the active compounds in every single capsule, not the trace amounts found in cooking turmeric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works as an Antioxidant\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurcumin helps protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals unstable molecules that build up from everyday stress, pollution, and normal body processes. It does this in two main ways: by directly neutralizing free radicals, and by activating a built in cellular defence system (called the Nrf2 pathway) that boosts your body’s own antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (Ak \u0026amp; Gülcüin, \u003cem\u003eChemistry \u0026amp; Biology Interactions\u003c\/em\u003e, 2008).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Helps with Joint Inflammation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurcumin is one of the most studied natural compounds for inflammation. It works by calming a key inflammation switch in the body called NF-κB, which controls the production of inflammatory signals like TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and COX-2 (Aggarwal \u0026amp; Harikumar, \u003cem\u003eInternational Journal of Biochemistry \u0026amp; Cell Biology\u003c\/em\u003e, 2009). In plain terms: it helps dial down the inflammatory response at the source. A review of multiple clinical trials found that curcumin supplementation meaningfully reduced joint pain and inflammation scores compared to placebo (Daily et al., \u003cem\u003eJournal of Medicinal Food\u003c\/em\u003e, 2016).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nutridom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42910820565155,"sku":"N187","price":24.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/6589\/2771\/files\/Curcumin_400mg_95_Curcuminoids_Antioxidant_60_Vcaps.jpg?v=1775503620","url":"https:\/\/nutridom.ca\/products\/curcumin-400mg-95-curcuminoids-antioxidant-joint-inflammation","provider":"Nutridom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
