(Newswire.net — May 2, 2018) Orlando, FL — Turmeric has long been popularized by its strong anti-inflammatory effects. However, this medicinal spice has actually many things to offer, including some protective actions against threats.

Turmeric is believed to be an all-natural shield against DNA damage. In a landmark study, the researchers tried comparing the ability of spices to suppress inflammation as well as to protect DNA.

According to researchers, a tissue sample from a random person usually has around 7 percent of DNA damage in their cells. This damage is characterized by actual breaks in the DNA strands. The researchers added that 7 percent could reach 10, if the cells are exposed to free radicals.

It has further been found that consumption of ginger caused a reduction of DNA damage by 8 percent. However, turmeric was even more powerful due to the fact that it cut the DNA damage in half.

What the researchers did was expose the spice-eating and non-spice-eating cells to free radicals, and then counted the DNA fracture rates. What makes this natural remedy even more intriguing is that it could work impressively even in significantly smaller doses.

Turmeric has long been utilized for a range of medicinal purposes due to the curcumin it contains. This bioactive agent is thought to be responsible for many of turmeric’s strong therapeutic values. Some of the healing agents contained in curcumin are its antibacterial, anticarcinogenic, antiviral, antiseptic, antibiotic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant properties.

Curcumin has been found to be useful in boosting the activity of the human body’s own antioxidant enzymes. According to researchers, the catalase is one of the highly active enzymes in the body. One can detoxify millions of free radicals for every second.

Consumption of around three quarters of a teaspoon of turmeric, or the equivalent, on a daily basis is believed to boost the activity of the enzyme catalase in the blood stream by 75 percent.

Turmeric powder can be added while cooking to take advantage of its healing effects. However, it would also be wise to take into account the use of curcumin supplements, like the one from Divine Bounty.

Curcumin has low bioavailability, which means its absorption inside the body is limited. It is imperative that its absorption is increased inside the body to deliver high levels of its healing properties.

Divine Bounty Curcumin formula contains black pepper extract, which is a bioavailability-enhancing ingredient. This black pepper works by increasing curcumin absorption inside the body, which renders the formula highly potent.
