Description Food supplement based on Meriva (turmeric phospholipid), useful as an aid in countering age-related degenerative processes and/or alongside particular medical conditions.
Curcumin is a biologically active component of turmeric, from which it is extracted and concentrated. Curcumin acts as an antioxidant and as a physiological modulator of oxidation-related inflammatory processes. The Meriva contained in the product markedly improves the absorption of curcumin compared with ordinary extracts, thus achieving higher blood levels of the active ingredients.
