Organika Curcumin 500mg As a Powerful Antioxidant and Natural Anti-inflammatory

Turmeric contains potent antioxidant chemicals, known as curcuminoids. They assist the body in neutralizing free radicals and help protect the liver from harmful toxins. 

These same molecules have also proven to inhibit inflammation, thus acting as pain relieving agents.  Turmeric has been shown to improve joint mobility and reduce the pain and swelling associated with all forms of arthritis.  This activity is equivalent to the effect of some NSAID drugs. 

Turmeric also lowers the level of harmful, or LDL, cholesterol and increases the level of helpful, or HDL, cholesterol. As well as improves circulation and blood flow.  All of these properties make turmeric a good choice for individuals with compromised circulation, heart disease and high cholesterol.

Reducing Joint Pain Naturally

Most people over age 35  have at least some wear and tear  in their joints, but that doesn't mean it should cramp your style.

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis.  It usually has a gradual onset and begins after the age of forty.  The knees, hips, fingers and vertebrae are most susceptible.  The joint deterioration is due to faulty or deficient repair of bone and cartilage in the joint.  The standard North American diet is deficient in the minerals necessary for proper joint repair; therefore it is not surprising that osteoarthritis is a common concern. Osteoarthritis causes stiffness and joint pain on motion.

It is typically worse in the morning.  Initially there is no inflammation or swelling of the joint.  As the damage progresses the joint may become inflamed and deformed.  Muscles around the joint can tense up, joint mobility may decrease and there may be a grating feeling on movement.  The pain becomes constant and occurs even when at rest.

Drug Treatments Actually Worsen Arthritis

Conventional treatment with anti-inflammatories has been shown to worsen arthritis.  Side effects of some drugs are gastrointestinal bleeding, stomach ulcers, heart attacks and liver problems.  Some of these medications, especially the NSAID group can actually accelerate the degradation of joint tissue.
