C3 Curcumin

Doctor, I can't remember anything! I forgot what happened yesterday.
I forgot what my car looks like. I can't even remember my own name.
How long have you had this problem?
What problem?

A combination of vitamin D3 and curcumin, from turmeric,
may boost the immune system, and help clear the protein
plaques linked to Alzheimer's, says a new study. Previous research by same scientists found that there are two types of Alzheimer's patients: Type 1 patients, who respond positively to curcuminoids and Type II patients, who do not. This depends on the genes MGAT III and TLR-3 that are associated with the immune system's ability to better ingest amyloid beta, said the researchers. C3 Curcumin Complex is a patented, unique composition of three bioactive, health-promoting curcuminoids: Curcumin, Bisdemethoxy curcumin, and
Demethoxy curcumin. These are the strongest, most proactive and best researched constituents of the herb turmeric.

Benefits shown in research using curcumin extracts:

IMMUNE SYSTEM REGULATION
· Inflammation - injury, post-operative,
joint wear and tear (osteoarthritis)
· Allergic reactions - asthma
· Autoimmune activity reduction-
rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis in
animals
· NK cell activity increase
· Reduced cancer development and spread
in certain animal models of carcinogenesis:
breast, prostate, colon, pancreatic,
glioma, ovarian
ANTIMICROBIAL
· Antiviral Epstein Barr and HIV virus
· Antibacterial, antiparasitic1
GI PROTECTION & HEALING
· stomach ulcer, Crohn's or proctitis
CARDIOVASCULAR PROTECTION
· reduces cholesterol oxidation and levels,
increases HDL
· reduces fibrinogen
· reduces platelet aggregation
BRAIN PROTECTION
· reduced brain damage following ischemia
(reduced blood flow)
· reduced development and regression of
Alzheimer's disease progression in animal
models
· reduced gliomas (brain tumors)
· antidepressant effects
LIVER PROTECTION from alcohol and
aflatoxin (peanut fungus)
TOXIC METAL CHELATOR
· Effective chelator of copper and iron
ANTIOXIDANT
BILE SUPPORT
· enhances bile flow and solubility


Trudy's Comments:

There are certain conditions where curcumin is not recommended so do not take it without supervision!
