Say “Good-Bye” to Joint Pain with Curcumin
“Health is wealth”–a phrase often used, yet the most ignored in today’s world. But this would be more meaningful to the unhealthy, who have faced the health hazards and know how important it is to stay fit. Health gone, you would soon feel that the whole world around you is nothing but a miserable excess, which has no place for you. That is precisely why you should take caution before it is too late. Retain health, or at least restore it, before it gets out of hand.
One very common health hazard these days is osteoarthritis, a kind of arthritis (inflammation of joint/joints), commonly seen in aged people. It is a degenerative joint disease, because it affects the joints. In this, the surface layer of cartilage (slippery bone tissue) crumbles and erodes, thereby increasing the friction of bones under the cartilage. When the smooth movement of bones is hindered, it naturally causes pain, swelling, and limited joint motion. With time, the joint may lose its original shape too. Therefore, it is imperative to treat this early. Joint pains are also common in athletes and animals. Overuse of bones and muscles wears away their cartilage and leads to joint diseases.
People dread this disease because it not only gives the body an intolerable discomfort, it also restricts normal daily activities, thereby pushing the affected into serious depression and disgust. But this is not impossible to get rid of.
Regular rest or exercise is effective in minimizing joint pains. Some people take the “feel good” route to a pain-free life, taking the malfunction in stride, while others draw their sustenance from various educational and support programs. You may also consider going for the many joint pain relief medications available in the market these days, which soothe pains, reduce inflammation, restore the outworn cartilage and facilitates joint movement.
Curcumin At Its Best!
PuraTHRIVE™ Curcumin Gold contains a unique blend of powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that can help soothe pain and inflammation and promote all-round wellness.
What is Curcumin?
Where tumeric is the plant, curcumin is the key active ingredient in turmeric that contains all of the health benefits. And while curcumin may be one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory compounds known to man, it does have one flaw…hardly any of it gets absorbed!
Curcumin only makes up about 2-5% of turmeric so the truth is that most turmeric users are getting very little of the healing benefits of this powerful spice. PuraTHRIVE Curcumin Gold contains pure curcumin extract, DHA, ginger oil and the patented Micelle Liposomal delivery method. The result is a supplement with 185 times more bioavailability than most turmeric products.*
Benefits of Curcumin
PuraTHRIVE™ Liposomal Curcumin Gold contains a unique blend of powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that can help quell pain and inflammation. With Curcumin Extract, DHA, Ginger Oil and our patented Micelle Liposomal delivery method, you get a highly bioavailable supplement that supports joint function and all around wellness.
Promotes Healthy Joint Function
Healthy, functioning joints are crucial if you want to be out there living an active lifestyle. Great news: research shows that curcumin can help support pain-free mobility, with those taking supplements recording up to a 73% reduction in joint stiffness *4. Ginger oil can also significantly reduce knee pain in people with osteoarthritis *5, and DHA may help to slow down the onset of osteoarthritis and joint breakdown by supporting the health of cartilage and connective tissue.10 If you’re after long-term joint health and mobility, combining these three powerful ingredients into one formula might be your answer.
Stamps Out Pain & Inflammation
No one should be in chronic pain, and with Curcumin Gold, you don’t have to be. Studies show that curcumin can lead to a 16-fold decrease in inflammatory markers, and can reduce dependency on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by 63% *6. When it comes to killing pain, ginger is your friend too. It’s as effective as conventional anti-inflammatory medications in reducing pain symptoms, without the potentially harmful side effects *7. This isn’t just great news for your joints – inflammation is linked with just about chronic disease known to man *8. Put out the inflammatory fire, and your disease risk may well plummet.
Supports a Healthy Heart & Mind
Heart disease and cognitive disorders are scary prospects, and they’re amongst the biggest killers in the world today. The good news is that curcumin can potentially improve heart function through various mechanisms: reducing plaque build up along artery walls, decreasing LDL (bad cholesterol levels), and even lowering triglycerides by up to 40%. *9 It can also dissolve abnormal proteins in the brain, potentially protecting cognitive function as you age *10. And let’s not forget about DHA, the omega three fatty acid that‘s long been linked with improved cognition, along with reduced anger, anxiety and depression states. *11
Unparalleled Bioavailability
Taking a conventional curcumin supplement may seem like a good idea, but the issue is that it’s notoriously difficult for the body to absorb. Even after taking fairly high doses, only small amounts tend to appear in the bloodstream (where the curcumin goes to work).*3 We’ve solved that issue for you with our patented Micellar Liposomal delivery, whereby we wrap the curcumin molecules in a series of protective layers, allowing them to safely pass through the digestive system and be properly absorbed by your body.*1 *2 No more wasting your hard-earned money on supplements that your body can’t actually use!
