What is the difference between turmeric and curcumin Midofenac?
Curcumin usually makes up 3-6% of turmeric powder, and it is where the benefits of turmeric lie. Studies on the benefits of curcumin have shown significant benefits of the substance. For example, helping to regulate inflammation and cancer cell proliferation, to name a few.
Based on these findings, scientists and pharmacologists have begun to introduce the concept of extracting curcumin and producing tablets with a high concentration. As well as compound formulations to maximize these benefits.
Recent studies have generally shown that other compounds also play an important role in combination with curcumin. For example, high doses of pure curcumin may have a limited ability to be absorbed by the body. This makes it difficult to determine the amount of the nutrient used in the body.
Curcumin must be taken with piperine for the best benefits, which gives maximum absorption and health benefits.
What are the main health benefits?
What is known and proven to date:
- may aid digestion;
- support healthy liver function;
- act as a powerful antioxidant;
- stimulate gallbladder contractions;
- help relieve symptomatic dysmenorrhea (TCM);
- help relieve rheumatic joint pain (Ayuervedic).
A number of studies have shown promising results for the benefits of curcumin, helping to fight many diseases, such as:
- chronic inflammation;
- cancer prevention;
- depression treatment;
- immune regulation;
- pain relief;
- skin diseases;
- bone diseases and others.
How can I get the most out of turmeric?
Natural turmeric powder (curcuma longa) has low bioavailability, since most of the turmeric is not absorbed in the intestines. And preconcentrated curcumin is even less, although it is in it that the main benefit of turmeric lies.
However, it is known: when curcumin is added to 98% piperine (a miracle molecule found inside black pepper), bioavailability increased by 2000%.
Midofenac Extra contains 65% turmeric extract combined with 99% piperine concentration, which will allow you to extract the maximum health benefits.
Moreover, turmeric is a fat-soluble molecule. Therefore, it is recommended to use fat molecules at the same time to transport it more efficiently through the blood and into the cells. This is why turmeric is often suggested to be taken with full-fat milk, butter, cream or yogurt.
How much do I need?
Most studies are done with around 200 mg - 2000 mg of curcumin extract taken daily for a period of time, although there is currently no specific daily dose that is recommended.
For now, always start with less, suggesting around 400 mg per day to see if the dose is enough for your stomach and gallbladder. For your peace of mind, higher levels have been tested for safety.
