Turmeric has been used traditionally in herbal medicine for centuries and modern studies have validated most of turmeric’s traditional uses. (1) Curcumin possesses many beneficial effects and is one of the key active ingredient in turmeric; however, regular curcumin is difficult to absorb. (2) Advanced Turmeric from Webber Naturals features Meriva®, a patented curcumin complex that has been clinically shown to significantly increase absorption of curcumin. (3) Clinical studies have also shown that Meriva curcumin complex helps relieve joint inflammation and associated symptoms such as joint pain when used in conjunction with conventional treatment, and also provides antioxidants for the maintenance of good health. (4-6) Meriva, in conjunction with conventional treatment, is also beneficial to help relieve the urological symptoms associated with mild-to-moderate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). (7), Meriva is supported by over 30 preclinical and clinical trials (8) confirming its safety and efficacy, and demonstrating effectiveness for joint health and BPH.
