Dentavital Phyte-Inflam **OLD PRODUCT USE 8328**

Dentavital Phyte-Inflam contains curcumin from turmeric and gingerols from ginger root. Phyte-Inflam is a natural phytonutrient complex. Dentavital Phyte-Inflam contains curcumin (from turmeric) and gingerols (from ginger root) - two polyphenolic compounds (natural chemicals found in many fruits, vegetables, and other plants)Both ginger root and the dried turmeric stem have been used historicallyThe inflammatory process is complex, involving the up-regulation of a series of enzyme and signalling proteins in tissues and cells. Cox-2 (Cyclo-oxygenase-2) is a protein that acts as an enzyme and specifically speeds the production of certain chemical messengers called prostaglandins. Some of these messengers are responsible for pain, inflammation and swelling. Anti-inflammatory substances reduce the production of these chemical messengersNEW Liposomal FormDentavital Phyte-Inflam now includes liposomal curcumin and we have chosen to use this new ingredient as it is better tolerated, more bioeffective with fewer medication interactions (previously this product contained piperine to help with bioavailability of curcumin)Research has shown that the bioavailability of curcumin is generally poor.  Major reasons contributing to the low plasma and tissue levels of curcumin appear to be due to poor absorption, rapid metabolism, and rapid systemic elimination; and this has limited its therapeutic usefulness. Researchers have investigated the benefits of complexing curcumin with other substances to increase systemic bioavailability. The liposomal form of curcumin makes it significantly more bioeffective than ordinary curcumin – in one study absorption was found to be 45.9 times higher than standardised curcumin
