CurcuWIN®: Benefits, Testing, and Recommendations
People have been taking advantage of the antioxidative benefits of curcumin for centuries.
A longstanding cornerstone of Eastern diets, turmeric has been used as a medicinal herb in tonics and salves for thousands of years. Even though we often associate curcumin with the Indian subcontinent, it has played a significant role in traditional Chinese medicine and the Siddha, Ayurveda, and Unani medicines of the Middle East.
Turmeric is a flowering plant with roots (or rhizomes) used to produce dye and spices. As part of the ginger family, it’s found all over the world.
There are dozens of species sharing nearly identical taxa all over the tropical and subtropical regions across the Indian Ocean and South Pacific, and as far south as Australia. The Curcuma longa taxa from Southern India shows the most potential for improving metabolic pathways.*
Although turmeric offers a few benefits as a whole-spice, researchers believe curcuminoids – natural phenols, curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin – deliver the most significant impact. Regulating the body’s inflammatory response and helping limit oxidation with free-radical fighting properties are just a few things curcuminoids are known for.*

What is curcuwin®?
Although curcumin may support a plethora of bodily systems, there are a couple of inherent weaknesses in turmeric powders and curcumin extracts.* First, the human body struggles to absorb curcumin on its own. Second, most extracts have only 5-percent curcuminoid content –the active compound needed for optimal health benefits.*
CurcuWIN® solves both of these issues.
It offers greater bioavailability and a 400-percent increase in curcuminoid content over standard formulas. OmniActive’s proprietary, UltraSOL Nutrient Delivery Systems ensures that the potent curcuminoids in CurcuWIN® are protected and readily abs orbed by the body, enabling people to get desired results from much smaller doses.
Other curcumin extracts usually need piperine (black pepper) to increase bioavailability. This can be problematic for some people because pepper may trigger a cough or present problems for those with upper respiratory challenges. The UltraSOL Nutrient Delivery Systems keeps CurcuWIN® black-pepper-free.
CurcuWIN® is considered by most experts to be the most bioavailable curcumin product on the market.

CurcuWIN® is a botanical extract powerhouse. High-quality curcuminoids are associated with liver function, normal inflammatory response, oxidative reduction support, and detoxification through enhanced bile production.*
The active compounds, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin, and curcumin became famous for their free-radical-fighting benefits.* But this multipurpose nutraceutical has demonstrated the ability to impact dozens of pathways and modulate several targets on a molecular level, including cell surface adhesion molecules, numerous proteins (cell cycle and cell signaling), chemokines, cytokines, enzymes, and receptors.*

Clinical Trials
There are dozens of studies that prove the various health benefits of curcumin.*
We will focus on two recent studies specific to CurcuWIN®, one on endothelial function and another on overall bioavailability compared to standard curcumin and other branded formulas.
1. CurcuWIN® FloMeD Study on Endothelial Function, 2016:
A randomized, double- blind, placebo-controlled investigation of endothelial function involving 59 healthy adults was performed over a period of 8 weeks. A significant increase in endothelial base-lines, measured by FMD (flow-mediated dilation) were seen over those on the placebo.* The higher curcuminoid supplementation produced a dose-mediated improvement in endothelial function – a 37-percent increase measured by FMD. Evidence from this study also points to a potential decreased risk of CVD in those who regularly consume curcuminoids.
2. CurcuWIN® And the Attenuation of Performance Decrements:
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation involving 64 healthy men and women aged 19-29 who were given either a placebo, 250 mg, or 1000 mg of CurcuWIN®and tested by the Exercise Physiology Laboratory within the Kinesiology Department at Texas Christain University over eight weeks. Results showed that eight weeks of high-dosage curcumin supplementation might attenuate performance decrements following intense anaerobic exercise.* Significant decreases in peak extension torque values within 24 hours after athletic activities were seen in those on 1000 mg doses.*
3. CurcuWIN® and Comparative Absorption of Curcumin Formulas:
A randomized, double-blind, crossover study with healthy human volunteers tested the relative absorption of standard curcumin and three microencapsulated branded formulas. The study concluded that CurcuWIN® increased relative absorption of total curcuminoids 46-times over standard, unformulated curcumin, and significantly higher than other top formulated versions. The appearance of curcuminoids in the blood was significantly higher than branded curcumin, whereas the other branded formula was only 1.3-fold higher than the unformulated curcumin.
