Curcumega Complex is a food supplement based on turmeric, ginger, and Bioperine®.

Curcumin has shown the ability to inhibit carcinogenesis at 3 stages: initiation, promotion, and tumor progression. It also has the ability to suppress the activity of various mutagens and carcinogens.

Turmeric constituents inhibit intestinal spasms, as well as increase the secretion of gastrin, secretin, and pancreatic enzymes.

The hepatoprotective effect of turmeric mainly comes from its antioxidant property and its ability to reduce the formation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. One of the curcumin salts also has the ability to exert choleretic effects, increasing the excretion of bile salts, cholesterol, and bilirubin.

The positive effects of turmeric on cardiovascular health include a reduction in cholesterol and triglyceride levels, a decrease in susceptibility to LDL lipid peroxidation, and inhibition of platelet aggregation.
Curcumin improves localized immunity, increasing the number of B cells and helper T cells, as well as general immunity.

Turmeric, as well as curcumin, exhibit potent antioxidant activity, comparable to vitamin C and E. Studies have demonstrated the effect of turmeric on endothelial heme oxygenase-1, a protein known as a stress inducer. It has the ability to neutralize free radicals and increase Glutathione levels.

Turmeric extracts reveal the inhibition of the growth of a number of bacteria, parasites, fungi, and viruses.

Its anti-inflammatory properties are attributed to its regulatory capacity at the level of inflammatory transcription factors, cytokines, redox status, protein kinases, and enzymes, all of which promote inflammation. It has been shown to reduce the expression of inflammatory markers, such as NF-α B, COX-2, 5-LOX, macrophage inflammatory protein-1, adhesion molecules, and C-reactive protein.
