What is Curcumin?
Curcuma longa
Often used interchangeably, curcumin and turmeric are not the same. Curcumin is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the spice turmeric and is largely considered its most active component.2
Turmeric is derived from the plant Curcuma longa L. — a member of the ginger family — and has been used in Asian countries as a spice and for health purposes for centuries.2

Cashback The Liver: Master Detox Organ
The liver is the body’s primary detoxification organ. Other major detox organs include the kidneys, intestines, and skin. Once nutrients and other substances reach the liver, this organ processes, stores, alters, detoxifies, and passes them back into the blood. The toxic substances are released in the bowel to be rid of as waste.1
Curcumin and Detox Function
In studies, curcumin has been shown to support the normal production of phase II detoxification enzymes in the liver. These detoxification enzymes promote the body’s natural defense systems and function as powerful indirect antioxidants, helping to neutralize harmful heavy metals, toxins, and pollutants.
Curcumin and Neurological Health and Cognitive Function
Curcumin has been shown to help maintain neurological health and cognitive function. Curcumin may help by promoting healthy levels of amyloid-β protein (a protein fragment) in the brain. In recent studies, researchers have linked normal levels of amyloid-β protein to neurological and cognitive health, such as memory and mood. Another neuroprotective property of curcumin is its ability to promote normal levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase in the brain, which can help maintain the health of neurological tissues. SOD and catalase are enzymes that protect cells. *
Key Ingredients
Curcugreen™†
Curcugreen™† is a branded curcumin ingredient made from turmeric extract which contains a proprietary blend of curcuminoids and turmeric oils. Though most curcumins have poor bioavailability, Curcugreen™† offers a high level of oral bioavailability in order for the body to receive the full spectrum of health benefits curcumin can provide. *
Broccoli Seed Extract
The health benefits and protective properties of broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables are well known and supported. The broccoli seed extract is a powerful source of sulforaphane. Sulforaphane supports the normal production of phase II detoxification enzymes, which promotes the body’s normal metabolism of chemicals and toxins. Sulforaphane also promotes the body’s natural defense systems and functions as a powerful indirect antioxidant – meaning it supports the ability of antioxidants that directly protect the body from oxidative stress. *
Selenium
Selenium is an essential mineral that is important for the proper functioning of many body processes. This essential element is a required component of the selenoproteins, which includes those that are needed to convert thyroid hormones from the inactive to the active form, and several important antioxidants. As an antioxidant, it helps control free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
