This culinary spice packs more punch than flavor...
Curcumin is a compound derived from the Indian spice, turmeric, and has become a popular focal point in scientific research for its numerous health benefits.*
Here are 4 research-based benefits:
- Supports healthy brain function: at least 10 known neuroprotective actions.*1
- Protects against the harmful effects induced by heavy metals.*2
- Neutralizes free radicals through antioxidant support.*3
- Modulates various neurotransmitters: chemicals in the brain that communicate information throughout the body.*4
However, curcumin is not easily absorbed in its natural form and that's why Jigsaw Health uses Curcumin C3 Complex®.*
This unique formula uses the three most effective research-based curcuminoids, making this form better absorbed.*
