Curcumminoids

Tumeric or curcumin has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for the treatment of inflammation and has very effective antioxidants as well.

Doctors are now using tumeric "curcumin" for inflammatory conditions: arthritis, osteoarthritis, acute infections. Also for health conditions caused by free radical damage: cardiovascular problems, arterial damage, heart disease, and others. Tumeric is also used in the treatment of certain cancers.

<>Many studies have shown the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer powers of curcuminoids in the herb tumeric. In a double-blind test, people with rheumatoid arthritis who received curcumin benefited equally to people who took the drug phyenylbutazone (popular prescription drug which can have side effects). In another study, 10 people received 500 mg of curcumin every day for a week had a measurable lowering of free radicals in their body. Still other medical studies have shown that curcumin with its curcuminoids can block the growth of cancer cells. Tumeric / curcumin has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries.

Selenium

Selenium is one of the essential trace minerals in the human body. This nutrient is an important part of antioxidant enzymes that protect cells against the effects of free radicals that are produced during normal oxygen metabolism. The body has developed defenses such as antioxidants to control levels of free radicals because they can damage cells and contribute to the development of some chronic diseases. Selenium is also essential for normal functioning of the immune system and thyroid gland.

Selenium is an essential trace element. It’s main function is to inhibit the oxidation of fats (lipids) as a component of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase. When combined with vitamin E, Selenium is a vital antioxidant. This trace element is necessary for pancreatic function and tissue elasticity, and plays a vital role in regulating the effects of thyroid hormone on fat metabolism.

Adding a Selenium supplement to your diet will aid in the production of antibodies and help maintain a healthy heart and liver.
