Description
Well-absorbed curcumin for relief from occasional joint and muscle soreness
Meriva-SF is a well-absorbed‚ sustained-released curcumin formula. Meriva® is the most clinically studied curcumin on the market with 29x greater absorption than ordinary curcumin.
Meriva® helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response throughout the body. Meriva-SF (sustained release) provides relief from occasional aches‚ joint stiffness‚ and muscle soreness.
Used in Asia for thousands of years‚ curcumin is a potent antioxidant that offers multiple health benefits‚ including support of joint‚ liver‚ GI‚ eyes‚ and cardiovascular function. Normally‚ however‚ curcumin is poorly absorbed in the bloodstream‚ whether it comes from food or nutritional supplements. Meriva curcumin phytosome‚ the most clinically studied curcumin on the market‚ is a unique curcumin extract with significantly better absorption than other curcumin extracts. In fact‚ a human study demonstrated 29-times greater absorption for Meriva than with ordinary curcumin.
Curcumin is an antioxidant flavonoid that helps maintain the body’s normal inflammatory response through optimization of cytokine production. Meriva’s superior curcumin absorption is attributable to a unique formula that contains three curcuminoids (95% curcuminoid material) and is based on Indena S.p.A.’s proprietary “phytosome” technology. A phytosome is a plant extract bound to a phospholipid (from sunflower oil in the case of Meriva-SF). Phospholipids are essential components of all human cells; and although the body makes phospholipids‚ such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylserine‚ phospholipids can also be obtained from food or nutritional supplements. When taken orally‚ phospholipids are very well absorbed. The proprietary phytosome technology utilized in Thorne Meriva-SF attaches a curcumin extract to a phospholipid‚ which optimizes the curcumin’s absorption. Thorne Meriva supplementation results in higher plasma concentrations of curcumin from a much smaller amount than with ordinary curcumin supplementation.
Thorne Meriva-SF (sustained release) contains 250 mg of curcumin phytosome complex per capsule.

INTERACTIONS
Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research revealed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan‚ used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.

Thorne Meriva’s Scientific Basis
Thorne Meriva claims to have developed its own patented phytosome technology. This method may be used to connect a curcumin extract to a phospholipid, hence improving Curcumin absorption. Phospholipids are a kind of lipid that is found in every human cell.
Because Curcumin isn’t easily absorbed on its own, Thorne Meriva’s formulation boosts absorption without adding extraneous ingredients.
It claims to have a 29-fold higher absorption rate than regular Curcumin on the market. As a consequence, it may help to decrease inflammation, arthritic pain, joint and muscle discomfort, and boost antioxidant levels in the body.
Well-absorbed curcumin for relief from occasional joint and muscle soreness Meriva 500-SF helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response throughout the body. Meriva is the most clinically studied curcumin on the market with 29x greater absorption than ordinary curcumin. In all forms‚ Meriva® helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response throughout the body and provides relief from overuse of muscles and joints and relief from injuries. Used as a food ingredient in Asia for thousands of years‚ curcumin is a potent antioxidant that offers numerous health benefits‚ including support of joint‚ liver‚ GI‚ and cardiovascular function. Normally‚ however‚ curcumin is poorly absorbed in the bloodstream‚ whether it comes from food or a nutritional supplement. Meriva curcumin phytosome‚ the most clinically studied curcumin on the market‚ is a unique curcumin extract with significantly better absorption than other curcumin extracts. In fact‚ a human study demonstrated 29-times greater absorption from Meriva than from ordinary curcumin. Curcumin is an antioxidant flavonoid that helps maintain the body’s normal inflammatory response through optimization of cytokine production. Meriva’s superior curcumin absorption is attributable to a unique formula that contains three curcuminoids (95% curcuminoid material) and is based on Indena S.p.A.’s proprietary “phytosome” technology.

The proprietary phytosome technology used in Meriva-SF attaches a curcumin extract to a phospholipid‚ which optimizes the curcumin’s absorption. In the case of Thorne Meriva 500-SF‚ the body readily absorbs the curcumin complex‚ resulting in more curcumin reaching cells for improved benefit.
