FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE WEBINAR: Understanding the Multitude of Curcumin Preparations and How Informed Selection Affects Patient Care with Dr. Shavon Jackson-Michel, ND

August 29th, 8PM EST

As of June 2018, based upon a composite analysis of ten herbs, curcumin ranks among the top three most studied. Introducing CurcuPlex-95™, a patented and clinically studied curcumin derived from whole-plant turmeric that includes the essential oils.

During this presentation, you will:

• Appreciate the synergism that occurs between the curcuminoids and the natural essential oils, including Ar-turmerone present in turmeric.

• Learn why the composition of branded curcumin products matters when comparing bioavailability claims • Discover the difference in absorption between enhanced “free” curcumin and enhanced “total” curcumin

• See why analytical techniques, ingredients and their sources and solvents used in manufacturing turmeric extracts are important

• Realize why the effects of “free” curcumin on cytokine production and cell-cycle regulation is more potent than the effect of any of its analogues or metabolites, including tetrahydrocurcumin (THC)ⱡ

• And so much more!

While many turmeric-derived supplements discard the native essential oils of turmeric in favor of concentrated curcumin, CurcuPlex-95 features the only patented curcumin ingredient (BCM-95®) that harnesses the benefits of both. The result is that BCM-95, which boasts a 95% curcumin-essential oil complex, including 45% Ar-turmerone rich oil content, is superior in enhancing the absorption and efficacy of curcumin. Evidenced-based, safe, functional medicine remedies are the face of the future; Be confident in a curcumin product validated by nearly 50 peer-reviewed publications and backed by 15 years of safety.ⱡ
