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 Meriva-SF attaches a curcumin extract to a phospholipid, which optimizes the curcumin’s absorption.* Meriva supplementation results in higher plasma concentrations of curcumin from a much smaller amount than with ordinary curcumin supplementation.*

Meriva-SF (sustained release) contains 250 mg of curcumin phytosome complex per capsule.

One study evaluating the effectiveness of Meriva showed that mobility and performance increased by an amazing 201% with just two months of usage.1 Results were based on the WOMAC index, which measures things like pain, stiffness and physical function in the joints.

These results were further confirmed with a longer study that occurred over 8 months with 100 participants taking 1 gram of Meriva daily

Yes it works! Started out on 1 capsule twice a day; my pesky shoulder soreness just vanished!! This also helped my BP, so double points. I will continue to purchase. Thanks, Thorne.

I’ve been using this product for a few years now, and when I stopped to see if it really helps, I knew right away that it does help my joints. I have the auto ship.

The only negative I can say is don’t cancel your subscription (auto ship) if you think you might go back because they’ll charge you the original price instead of looking that you already were a customer and got the reduced price for the auto shipping.

Curcumin: Curcumin is a spice with natural herbal healing properties. It delivers anti-inflammatory support for complete joint health and overall wellness. The effects of curcumin on the body are positively impacted when combined with other ingredients that improve its bioavailability like lecithin.

Sunflower Lecithin:Lecithin resemble the natural cell barriers in the body and provide a more efficient vehicle to actively drive curcumin into your cells.
