CURCUMA Complete with fenugreek

What is turmeric?

Curcuma (botan.: Curcuma longa) is also known as "turmeric" because the tuberous rootstock has a golden yellow color. Turmeric, which belongs to the ginger family, grows up to one meter high - its flowers are white and pink. The dried and powdered turmeric roots are a main ingredient in Indian curry and give the traditional spice mixture its characteristic color. But turmeric is much, much, much more than just the gold in curry ...

Curcuma - a remedy with a 5,000-year-old tradition

Curcumin (or "curcumin") is a bioactive secondary plant substance found in the spice turmeric. The ancient scriptures of the Indian Vedas show that 5,000 years ago, curcuma was not only one of the most important spices of its time, but was also used for health purposes. Many people even considered turmeric to be sacred. India still consumes around 80% of the global turmeric harvest today and is also the world's largest turmeric-growing country.

Turmeric plays an important role in Indian traditional teachings, "Ayurveda", both today and in the past: there it is one of the "hot" spices that are popular for their cleansing and energizing properties. In Europe, turmeric has been well known as a liver and bile remedy since ancient times.

What is fenugreek or fenugreek?

Fenugreek (Latin: Trigonella foenum graecum) is a 30 to 80 cm tall plant with clover-like leaves. It originates from southern Europe and Asia - and thrives on loamy soil and prefers plenty of sunlight. Fenugreek was not only popular in the gardens of the Chinese Empire, it was also used in a variety of natural remedies in ancient Egypt.

Fenugreek forms narrow legumes with a length of around 10 cm. These legumes contain 10 to 20 hard, yellowish-brown seeds.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), fenugreek seeds normalize: blood sugar levels, fat metabolism, blood lipid levels, pH balance of the stomach, digestion and much more*.

In CURCUMA Complete, fenugreek ensures a natural increase in the bioavailability of curcumin**.

95% of all active curcuminoids for genuine naturalness

The active curcuminoids play the most important role among the nutrients of the turmeric plant. The main actor is the well-known curcumin. However, curcuminoids can only develop their full properties in their natural state. That is why CURCUMA Natural Complex with CurQfen® also contains the two relevant curcuminoids demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin - and thus provides a complex that only nature can create.

CURCUMA Complete with fenugreek - 4,500% better than conventional curcuma

When talking about curcuma, the problem of low "bioavailability" often arises. Normally, only a small proportion of the turmeric consumed can actually be absorbed by the body. Therefore, you would actually have to consume quite large amounts of turmeric to benefit your health. One way to increase bioavailability is to add "piperine", the main component of black pepper. However, this is not an alternative for some people with sensitive stomachs and intestines.

The solution: CurQfen® with fenugreek (fenugreek)! CurQfen® is a natural branded raw material that combines curcuma with fenugreek thanks to a patented process - and thus ensures 4,500% higher bioavailability compared to simple turmeric powder**.

**Studies show: CurQfen® has 4,500% higher bioavailability than conventional powder

Various studies have shown that the bioavailability of free curcuminoids is increased by more than 4,500% by fenugreek - also thanks to better crossing of the blood-brain barrier.

CurQfen® - 4,500% higher absorption of curcuminoids naturally

A randomized, double-blind crossover study (n = 50) to investigate the relative bioavailability of free curcuminoids after oral administration of CurQfen® with fenugreek shows that bioavailability is increased by 4,550% compared to conventional turmeric powder.

CurQfen® - improved crossing of the blood-brain barrier

Another scientific study shows that CurQfen® is able to deliver free curcuminoids into plasma and further into organ tissue with improved permeability of the blood-brain barrier - thanks to patented and 100% natural "GREEN process" (FenuMAT™ technology).

Fighting inflammation with curcuma

Even if you don't usually feel it, inflammation occurs in our body all the time - as a defense reaction of the immune system against toxins, injuries, bacteria or UV radiation. But if these inflammations become chronic, recent studies have shown that they can play a decisive role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, stomach ulcers, intestinal diseases, nervous disorders or joint diseases.

With CURCUMA Complete, you support your body in combating inflammation thanks to the properties of the curcumin it contains - because curcumin can control inflammatory reactions in the body* based on this purely natural substance from the turmeric root.

Why curcuma is so important as an antioxidant

The human cell has the natural function of detoxifying and repairing itself. However, excessive environmental pollution can disrupt this protective function. This can result in a wide range of health problems:

• Allergies

• Premature ageing of the skin

• Impairment of the cardiovascular system

• Problems with the eyes

• Memory problems

• Concentration problems

• Joint problems

Curcuma is considered an antioxidant*. Antioxidants are natural "radical scavengers" that are also found in certain foods (e.g. blueberries, citrus fruits, red grapes). Unfortunately, however, our diet means that we are consuming fewer and fewer natural antioxidants. The curcumin in CURCUMA Natural Complex with CurQfen® offers an innovative and natural form of nutritional supplementation: with 4,500% higher bioavailability than turmeric powder**.

Curcuma convinces science

The versatile applications of turmeric have been known for thousands of years. Reason enough for scientists in the West to put curcuma and its main ingredient curcumin to the test - especially its importance for human health. In detail, this involves, for example, mental balance, the immune system, muscles and joints, the cardiovascular system, the nervous system and much more*.

Numerous institutes have been intensively researching curcuma for years. And so curcumin has definitely become a real highlight in science. This is shown by a search at the US National Library of Medicine. A search with the keyword "curcumin" yields more than 5,000 references to scientific publications from all over the world, of which more than 4,500 are from the last 12 years alone - with impressive results.

Curcuma - recommended by the WHO

Even the World Health Organization (WHO) has already taken notice of the power of turmeric. As curcumin has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins (tissue hormones that trigger inflammation), the WHO recommends it for rheumatism.

Many curcuma products do not work!

As curcumin is fat-soluble, it is very difficult for the human body to absorb. Many conventional curcumin preparations on the market are therefore ineffective! This is where the new scientifically developed CURCUMA Complete with fenugreek comes in. The patented combination with fenugreek ensures that the curcuma reaches the body faster, more permanently and more effectively.** Therefore, when buying curcuma products, always pay attention to the quality and the exact ingredients.
