Curcumin is the most active component in turmeric. Turmeric is India's most loved condiment in all our favorite dishes. However, our intake is a lot less than the recommended daily requirement. Further, Livest Health's Curcumin supplement is enhanced with patented Bioperine (black pepper formulation) that increases the absorption of curcumin by 2000% [1].
In addition, the capsule also contains Ashwagandha. Ashwagandha has been used to reduce stress and improve mental health. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study has shown that administering Ashwagandha to 64 adults with chronic stress twice a day for a month significantly reduced their cortisol levels. [2]
The combined effects of Curcumin + Ashwagandha improves immunity, cognitive function and reduces inflammation and stress.
