Turmeric Curcumin for Inflammation
Natural anti-inflammatory for joint and tendon pain
About Curcumin
Curcumin is the active anti-inflammatory in turmeric. Standard turmeric is poorly absorbed — medical-grade formulations like Meriva (phytosome) and BCM-95 are dramatically more bioavailable and clinically effective.
Why patients use it
Reduces tendon & fascia pain
Comparable in studies to low-dose NSAIDs for plantar fasciitis and tendinitis.
Joint comfort
Well-studied benefit in knee and foot osteoarthritis.
GI-friendly alternative to NSAIDs
Avoids the stomach, kidney, and heart risks of long-term ibuprofen and naproxen.
Post-surgical recovery
Helps modulate swelling after bunion, hammertoe, and ankle procedures.
Typical use
Standardized formulations like Meriva 500 mg twice daily with food.
