The people of India and Asia have taken Turmeric for thousands of years. It is used in curry, foods, and as a medicinal herb. The root is the part of the Turmeric plant that is utilized. The active ingredients in Turmeric are collectively called Curcuminoids, or Curcumin (kur-kyoo-min) for short. There have been hundreds clinical studies and research articles written on Curcumin studying a wide range of health conditions.

According to the research, Curcumin health benefits include: anti-oxidant, anti-carcinogenic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-fibrotic, anti-coagulant, gastro protective and anti-ulcer, and hepato (liver) and neuro protective.* Research has shown that it may be helpful with the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, Arthritis, Cataracts, Cystic Fibrosis, Cardiovascular Disease including Myocardial Infarction, Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, etc.* It has been shown to inhibit Gall Bladder stone formation.* It is effective for relieving any type of pain due to its anti-inflammatory properties.*

The only problem with taking Curcumin is that it’s poorly absorbed into the cells due to its large particle size. The absorption rate is only around 3%. Black pepper extract increases the absorption to around 10%. This is why most Health Practitioners recommend taking very large amounts per day to be effective. One Planet Nutrition has found an answer to this problem. Nano Curcumin, which is a nano particle Curcumin from Turmeric extract, absorbs up to 40 to 60 times better than regular Curcumin. This formula represents the most cost-effective way to supplement with this critical nutrient. Studies show that 160 mg – 250 mg a day of this Turmeric compound is a therapeutic dose because of its superior absorption into the cells. Aqueous (water soluble) nanoparticle-encapsulated Nano Curcumin is around the size of 45nm, while biological absorption channels of the body’s cells have the size of 200nm. Therefore, Nano Curcumin absorbs quickly and completely, providing a much higher efficacy than standard Curcumin, which has a particle size of 250nm.

One Planet Nutrition’s Nano Curcumin provides 100 mg of aqueous (water soluble) nanoparticle-encapsulated Curcumin per veggie capsule.
