Getting to know what benefits of Curcuminoid in turmeric

Benefits of Curcuminoid in turmeric

• Reduce your chances of getting cancer.

Free Radical is one of the causes of cancer, especially skin cancer and colon cancer.  At the very least Curcuminoid contains anti-oxidant 50 times more than vitamin E, which helps to reduce chances of getting cancer

Chemicals and pesticides such as DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltruchioroethane) and Dioxin are another cause of cancer.  With Curcuminoid protection, these chemicals will difficultly enter to our bodies

• Increase efficiency of cancer treatment, especially on a patient who receives chemotherapy treatment by protecting the good cells and increasing the efficiency of the treatment
• Keep the skin healthy and prevent skin diseases, especially the ringworm disease caused from fungal
• Prevent Hepatitis caused from toxins by naturally detoxifying the liver. Since the liver is a source of many enzymes, this process indirectly helps to reduce colic
• Help digestion process by dispersing the bile
• Reduce high cholesterol and increase fat burn
• Prevent Alzheimer’s by inhibiting the formation of the enzyme, acetyl-cholinesterase, which destructs brain cells
• Reduce Anti-inflammatory which is one cause of heart disease

Huge Benefits / Less popularity

Why people do not eat Turmeric, even when they know it has huge benefits.  This might be because of its strong smell before, during, and after consumed, cleanliness, as well as low bioavailability (Normally Curcuminoid can only dilute in fat). To get the most effect of Tumeric, it must be consumed in large quantities.

One way to improve bioavailability is by making a water soluble Curcuminoid.
