300 Mg Extract Per Capsule. 95% Curcumins. Certified Potency Turmeric Extract (Turmeric-Power) is the highest quality, most potent and most effective form of Turmeric Extract available. Turmeric Extract is standardized with the greatest concentration of naturally-balanced active principles while retaining and enhancing all the whole plant synergistic benefits, thus making it not only one of the world's finest and purest plant extracts, but also faster-acting and more assimilable than unconcentrated Turmeric Root. Turmeric is an unusually healthful spice. Curcumin, turmeric's active constituent, protects against free radical damage because it is a strong antioxidant. It also reduces inflammation by lowering histamine levels and possibly by increasing production of natural cortisone by the adrenal glands. It also protects the liver from a number of toxic compounds. It also has been shown to prevent platelets from clumping together, which in turn improves circulation and helps protect against atherosclerosis. There are also numerous animal studies showing a cancer-preventing action of curcumin. This may be due to its antioxidant activity in the body. Turmeric also acts as a mild antacid. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Turmeric root for 'Dyspeptic conditions.' 'Average daily dosage: 1.5 - 3 g of drug; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration Comminuted drug, as well as other galenical preparations for internal use. Actions: The choleretic [bile-producing] action of curcumin is experimentally well documented. Further indications exist for a cholecystokinetic and a clear antiinflammatory action.'
