Natural Curcuma 500 mg

So many studies have shown benefits from curcumin supplementation that a number of pharmaceutical laboratories are trying to patent synthetic products which mimic its mechanisms of action!
Curcumin is a potent antioxidant with a range of health benefits including helping to protect the body from cancer:

It protects cells from free radicals through various mechanisms; in vitro, it even protects bacteria from lethal doses of radiation
It stimulates the immune system in general, as well as in a localised way
It regulates expression of nuclear kappa beta factor, a growth factor for cancerous cells and in vitro, inhibits the proliferation of prostatic cancerous cells
It blocks oestrogen-like xenobiotic carcinogens such as the herbicide Paraquat, nitrosamines and certain solvents
It inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipooxygenase (LOX), two inflammatory enzymes instrumental in the development of certain cancers, particularly colon cancer
It has a similar level of anti-inflammatory efficacy as aspirin
In vitro, it induces apoptosis (programmed death) of cancerous cells more effectively than selenium, vitamin A, vitamin D3 or green tea
In vitro, it stops the proliferation of cancerous cells at stage 2 of their development
It helps inhibit angiogenesis (development of blood vessels which feed tumours) by interfering with the enzymes AP-1 and metalloproteinases
It's effective at protecting against viruses (its traditional use) and in vitro, inhibits replication of HIV in chronically-infected cells
It inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation which leads to heart attacks
It reduces cholesterol by stimulating bile secretion
It reduces excess wind (bloating) in the stomach and intestines

To boost your immune defences, the natural immune-stimulant effects of shiitake root (Lentinus edodes) may also be of interest.
