How It Works
Curcumin inhibits multiple inflammatory pathways simultaneously: it blocks NF-κB (the master switch of inflammation), suppresses COX-2 and LOX enzymes, reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α), and activates Nrf2 — the body's antioxidant defence pathway. Standardisation to 95% curcuminoids and co-administration with piperine enhance bioavailability by up to 2,000%.
