Description
NovaSOL solubilising nanotechnology gives curcumin unique properties resulting in faster absorption and 185 times improved bioavailability. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory activity, possibly by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and other cytokines involved in proinflammatory signalling pathways. Side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dyspepsia, headache and fatigue. There are no known contraindications. Product interactions may include warfarin and anticoagulants, antidiabetic medications, and surgery.
