Product Description: Curcumin Phytosome Supplement Joint Strengthening Liver Detoxification Digestive Support Soy-Free Gluten-Free Extended Release Exclusive to Thorne Meriva-SF is a highly absorbable sustained release curcumin formula. Meriva is a clinically studied curcumin that is 29 times more absorbable than regular curcumin.Meriva helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response throughout the body. Meriva-SF (extended release) relieves intermittent pain, joint stiffness, and muscle pain.Used in Asia for thousands of years, curcumin provides several health benefits, including support for joint, liver, gastrointestinal, eye, and cardiovascular function. It is a powerful antioxidant. However, curcumin is generally not well absorbed into the bloodstream from food or supplements. The most clinically studied curcumin on the market, Meriva Curcumin Phytosome is a unique curcumin extract with far better absorption than other curcumin extracts. In fact, in human studies, Meriva had a 29 times higher absorption rate than regular curcumin. Curcumin is an antioxidant flavonoid that helps maintain the body's normal inflammatory response through optimization of cytokine production. Meriva's superior curcumin absorption is due to its formula containing three curcuminoids (95% curcuminoids) and based on Indena S.p.A.'s proprietary 'phytosome' technology. Phytosomes are plant extracts bound to phospholipids (sunflower oil in the case of Meriva-SF). Phospholipids are essential components of all human cells. Although the body makes phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine, phospholipids can be obtained from food or supplements and are very well absorbed when taken orally. The proprietary phytosome technology used in Meriva-SF attaches curcumin extract to phospholipids, which optimizes the absorption of curcumin. Meriva supplements increase plasma concentrations of curcumin at significantly lower doses than typical curcumin supplements.Meriva-SF (extended release) contains 250 mg of curcumin phytosome complex per capsule.
