Longvida® RD (OptimizedCurcumin)

Longvida is an optimized form of curcumin, the primary compound present in turmeric root extract. Curcumin is a well-studied, scientifically-tested compound that acts as an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent; it also promotes cognitive health and longevity*. Curcumin's benefits are wide-ranging and impact several areas of your overall health, but the biggest challenge that scientists have faced is how to make it bioavailable enough that sufficient amounts of curcumin are absorbed and used by your body.

Longvida is the answer to that question*. Discovered by fortuitous accident by scientists trying to increase turmeric bioavailability, Longvida utilizes a patent-pending approach that's designed to preserve the integrity of turmeric extract in the harsh environment of the stomach, promoting rapid absorption into the bloodstream and optimal delivery to target tissues*. After years of development, Longvida's formula stands as the solution to the bioavailability issue with curcumin, and its unique process is now known as SLCP™ Technology.

Longvida Benefits

Longvida's optimized turmeric extract supports cognitive and overall health and provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits*. Over 3100 publications have been completed on the beneficial effects of curcumin. Clinical trials have shown that one small daily dose of Longvida produced significant health benefits in only 30 days; people have also reported improved joint health and flexibility and improved inflammatory responses with the use of curcumin. An overview published in Advanced Experimental Medical Biology stated that curcumin had exhibited important antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-enhancing properties.

Let's take a look at some of curcumin's documented benefits:

• As an antioxidant that passes the blood-brain barrier, curcumin can promote and support brain health by fighting free radicals, which can cause oxidative stress and damage cells. This antioxidant protection has wide-ranging effects, from helping sustain memory function to promoting optimal cognitive function*.
• Curcumin induces bile flow, which helps break down fats, and can help balance the levels of triglycerides in the bloodstream. Turmeric extract can also protect the gastrointestinal tract and regulate secretion*.
• Because curcumin can help balance triglycerides, it promotes heart health; it can also help balance LDL cholesterol and promote optimal blood vessel health*.
• As an anti-inflammatory agent, curcumin helps improve joint comfort and promotes optimal joint health and motion*.
