CuraMed® Acute Pain Relief*†

Why is turmeric essential oil important?

First, turmeric essential oil is critical to helping curcumin absorb properly for its fullest benefits. Secondly, turmeric essential oil contains compounds called turmerones that have beneficial effects of their own. Chief among turmerones – and one of the best studied – is aromatic turmerone, often abbreviated as “ar-turmerone.” Research shows that ar-turmerone has many similar attributes to curcumin, and is independently, a powerful component.^*

Is there a difference between turmeric and curcumin?

Yes. Turmeric is the plant that provides curcumin. Turmeric typically contains about two to five percent curcumin, so taking an unstandardized, powdered turmeric product means that very large amounts would be required to get a beneficial amount of curcumin. Additionally, curcumin is poorly absorbed within the gastrointestinal tract. While turmeric is excellent when used as a spice, a high absorption curcumin extract, such as the clinically studied curcumin used in CuraMed Acute Pain Relief^†, is a far superior choice for health benefits.^*

Why black sesame seed oil? Why not use nattokinase in this product like there is in Curamin® or Curamin® Extra Strength?

Everyone experiences pain^† differently. For many people, our longstanding favorites of Curamin and Curamin Extra Strength are the perfect choices. However, for anyone who has a difficult time swallowing standard capsules or tablets, the small, fast dissolving^{^} CuraMed Acute Pain Relief liquid gel provides another option with clinically studied ingredients. The black sesame seed oil in the formula helps deliver these ingredients and is emulsified in a new clinically proven process that makes this product unique. Black sesame seed oil has been traditionally used in a wide variety of formulas to aid in carrying and dispersing fat-soluble ingredients. It has also been studied for supporting a healthy inflammation response on its own.^*†
