Turmeric Protect with BioPerine® is a scientifically proven, natural way to help prevent cancer (see scientific proof below), clear pre-cancerous lesions that are currently developing, reduce inflammation in the body, reduce joint pain and help prevent a wide range of diseases from developing as you age.
It also has an antidepressant effect, boosts brain power, memory and attention and protects against the development of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and dementia.
Scientific Proof
Curcumin
Curcumin is a powerful, health boosting molecule found in turmeric.
The benefits of curcumin are boosted by 2000% [24] when combined with piperine (an extract black pepper), which is why it is included in Turmeric Protect with BioPerine®.
Take 2 capsules of Turmeric Protect with BioPerine® per day and you will receive the following benefits, according to science:
- “Curcumin has multiple health benefits, which appear to act primarily through its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory mechanisms…benefits are best achieved when curcumin is combined with agents such as piperine, which increase its bioavailability significantly. Curcumin can help in the management of oxidative and inflammatory conditions, metabolic syndrome, arthritis, anxiety, hyperlipidemia…exercise-induced inflammation and muscle soreness.” [1] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “One hour after administration, curcumin significantly improved performance on sustained attention and working memory tasks, compared with the placebo.” [2] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Has an anti-inflammatory effect to reduce and help prevent inflammation in the body. (Inflammation leads to chronic diseases and cancers over time). [3] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “The activities of turmeric include antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antioxidant, antiseptic, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective (prevents liver damage), nephroprotective (prevents kidney damage), radioprotective (protection against radiation from phones, computers, etc), and digestive activities.” [4] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “In human colon cancer cells, curcumin significantly inhibited cell growth.” (Has anticancer effect for those with cancer and helps to prevent cancer by reducing inflammation in healthy people). [5] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “Curcumin exhibits anticancer ability by targeting different cell signaling pathways including growth factors, cytokines, transcription factors, and genes modulating cellular proliferation and apoptosis.” (Helps prevent cancer from ever forming in the first place). [6] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “In addition, curcumin exerts its anticancer activity by acting on the level of cyclin D1 that is an important regulator of cell cycle progression and can act as a transcriptional co-regulator.” [7] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Treatment for inflammatory diseases, such as IBS (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). [8] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “Curcumin can stimulate developmental and adult hippocampal neurogenesis (formation of new brain cells), and a biological activity that may enhance neural plasticity (ability of the brain to adapt and learn throughout life) and repair.” [9] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “Curcumin has several therapeutic effects including antiviral, antinociceptive (pain relief), anti‐inflammatory, antipyretic (reduces fever), and antifatigue effects with several molecular mechanisms such as antioxidant, antiapoptotic (prevents development of cancers), antifibrotic (prevents lung damage) effects.” [10] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “Curcumin has been found to possess anticancer activities because of its effect on a variety of biological pathways involved in mutagenesis, oncogene expression, cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, tumorigenesis, and metastasis.” [11] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “Curcumin supplementation significantly increased serum BDNF levels.” Low BDNF levels in the brain result in poor cognition, learning and psychological state (e.g. depression, anxiety, stress). [12] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Curcumin increased BDNF protein levels by 78.0% and 95.1% compared to placebo. (Higher BDNF levels in the brain mean better cognition, less stress, improved ability to learn and prevention of behavioral or psychological disorders). [13] Hindawi (United Kingdom)
- Reduce lesions in colon by 40% in 30 days. (Lesions often turn cancerous if left untreated). [14] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Tumeric and black pepper are used in combination in many recipes in India, which is why Indian people have some of the lowest cancer rates in the world. Yet, their rates of cancer increase dramatically if they move to another country and no longer eat the same foods. [15] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Protects heart against heart disease and heart attacks. [16] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Protects against leukemia and lymphoma, gastrointestinal cancers, genitourinary cancers, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, lung cancer, melanoma and neurological cancers. If a person has one of those cancers, it helps to treat and reverse it. [17] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Clears buildup of protein tangles called amyloid plaques, which if left untreated, lead to Alzheimer’s disease. [18] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- More effective than a pharmaceutical drug at treating arthritis and joint pain. [19] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Has an anti-depressant effect. [20] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Has an anti-aging effect by preventing the development of age related diseases and health problems. [21] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Slows aging by maintaining youthful health and prevent diseases. [22] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Protects against the development of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, dementia) and strokes. [23] U.S. National Library of Medicine
BioPerine®
BioPerine® is a patented extract obtained from black pepper (Piper nigrum) standardized minimum to 95% piperine.
- “Co-supplementation with piperine significantly increase the bioavailablity of curcumin by 2000%.” (Meaning: If you just eat turmeric with food, the curcumin isn’t as bioavailable (i.e. it isn’t well absorbed by the body on its own), so you don’t get much benefit. It is only when curcumin is combined with piperine (an extract black pepper) that it can then produce the significant health benefits, as proven by science). [24] U.S. National Library of Medicine
