Lifestyle diseases like Ischemic heart disease (IHD), Diabetes mellitus (DM), Hypertension (HTN), Cancers are on the rise across the globe, over infectious diseases. Various causative pathways leading to these diseases are being explored. One among them is free radical mechanism. Increased free radicals in biological systems are implicated in various pathological conditions like cancer, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and premature aging.

Our product KURCUMA® can protect from oxidative damage caused by various pathological conditions.

In healthy individuals, they prevent occurrence of the above by virtue of its antioxidant & bioprotective mechanism.

Curcumin, a natural phenolic compound found in turmeric (Curcuma longa), is a powerful antioxidant and acts as a free radical scavenger. Curcumin‘s antioxidant activity has been confirmed both in in-vitro and in-vivo studies. In a study, Curcumin has showed better antioxidant activity than vitamin E, Eugenol and Capsaicin in comparison .In another study, Curcumin lowered the production of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) that have been implicated in the development of various diseases. By virtue of its potent antioxidant activity, Curcumin can control the progression of these diseases.

In the formulation KURCUMA®, Green tea and Grape seed are known for their potent antioxidant activity. Various polyphenols in grape and green tea are tested and proven for antioxidant activity in many studies. They, flush out the free radicals produced in the body, and thus protect the biological systems. Ginger, the other ingredient has bioenhancing capability.
