Curcumax

Curcumax dietary supplement was designed to reduce occasional muscle pain associated with physical exertion.^† The formula combines essential vitamins and magnesium with traditional herbs, high quality enzymes, and the sulfur-containing amino acid L-cysteine. The critical nutrients provided in Curcumax are required to aid the body's physiological response to physical exertion.^†

Curcumax

Reduces occasional muscle pain associated with exercise and overuse ^†

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Curcumax^™ supplies important nutrients that are used by the body to respond to physical overuse and exertion.^† The formula provides antioxidants for the protection of connective tissues and tendons, components to support the body's natural anti-inflammatory response, and nutrients clinically shown to reduce occasional muscle pain and stiffness associated with exercise.^†

The following chart provides the key benefits of the ingredients in Curcumax:

Ingredient	Benefit
Vitamin C	Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant involved in many metabolic reactions in the body.^† It is necessary for the synthesis of collagen, a key connective protein, which provides strength and integrity for tendons and cartilage.^† Research suggests that vitamin C supplementation may help reduce muscle soreness following excess exercise and overexertion.^†^1,2
Pantothenic Acid	Pantothenic acid is an essential B vitamin and component in the production of coenzyme A, a vital catalyst that is required for the conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and protein into energy.^†^3,4
Magnesium	Magnesium is involved in the production of cellular energy.^† The essential mineral is required for normal functioning of muscle and nervous tissue.^†⁵ Research suggests that magnesium status is indirectly related to incidence of muscle cramps due to occasional overuse.^†⁶
Turmeric	Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a perennial shrub native to southern Asia with a long history of use as both a food ingredient and health-supportive agent.^† A powerful antioxidant, turmeric reduces occasional muscle pain by supporting the body's natural anti-inflammatory response.^†^7,8 Turmeric has been shown to inhibits the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme preferentially and does not inhibit the activity of the beneficial COX-1 enzyme involved in supporting the stomach lining.^†⁹ Turmeric has also been shown to inhibit interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-á), two compounds that play an important role in the inflammatory response.^†¹⁰
Bromelain	Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme derived from the pineapple plant. Bromelain has been shown to block compounds involved in the body's inflammatory response.^† Supplementing with the enzyme can support optimum health by reducing prostaglandin production and increasing blood flow.^†¹¹ A randomized, controlled, clinical trial found that bromelain reduces pain and stiffness due to occasional overuse.^†¹²
Butcher's Broom	Butcher's broom (Ruscus aculeatus) is an evergreen shrub native to Mediterranean Europe and Africa. A source of important saponin glycosides called ruscogenins, butcher's broom has long been used to support venous function by enhancing vein tone and tissue integrity.^† Research has shown that butcher's broom can inhibit the activity of elastase, an enzyme involved in the degradation of vascular structural components.^†¹³
Pancreatic Enzymes	When taken on an empty stomach between meals, pancreatic enzymes can support the body's natural anti-inflammatory response.^† Clinical research shows supplementation with a pancreatic enzyme combination can help reduce the muscle pain associated with exercise and overuse.^† When compared to placebo, athletes taking pancreatic enzymes before and after intense exercise had less muscle pain and faster recoveries.^†¹⁴
L-Cysteine	L-cysteine is an amino acid and important antioxidant.^† Because of its high sulfur content, L-cysteine is necessary for the formation of muscle tissue and connective tissue.^†¹⁵

Conclusion
The ingredients in Curcumax^™ dietary supplement provide comprehensive support for the body's response to physical exertion. Curcumax helps reduce occasional muscle pain and stiffness associated with exercise and overuse.^†

RECOMMENDATIONS
Take 1 capsule between meals. May take additional capsules as needed between meals.
