The formula contains a patented curcumin extract known as Meriva 500-SF, which is produced using Phytosome technology. This technology increases the bioavailability and absorption of curcumin. Each serving provides 1000mg of curcumin phytosome, offering enhanced therapeutic benefits compared to regular curcumin. The product includes 120 vegetable capsules, each containing a standardized extract of curcumin bound to phosphatidylcholine from sunflower lecithin, ensuring a soy-free formulation. This composition helps reduce joint inflammation and promote healthy liver function by enhancing the body's antioxidant defenses. Meriva 500-SF has undergone clinical studies showing its effectiveness in improving joint mobility and reducing discomfort associated with inflammation. It is also designed to support visual and liver health by modulating inflammatory pathways and oxidative stress responses. Curcumin, a bioactive compound from turmeric, is recognized for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. However, it typically has low bioavailability when consumed alone. The Phytosome technology utilized in Meriva 500-SF enhances the curcumin's absorption, allowing for greater efficacy at lower dosages.
