Curcumin – Do You Know What You Are Prescribing?<br />
As a healthcare practitioner, you want to provide your patients with the most effective, clinically-proven curcumin available. But, do you know how much<br />
curcumin is present in the product you are prescribing?<br />
Deciphering Labels – What You Need to Know<br />
If a product label lists a proprietary complex or blend, does it list the specific amount of curcuminoids provided? If you answered “yes” to that question, does<br />
your curcumin product provide 500 mg of pure curcuminoids, a clinically validated amount? For example, CuraPro ® , which contains clinically proven <strong>BCM</strong>-95 ®<br />
Curcumin, clearly identifies the amount of curcuminoids (500 mg) on its supplement fact box. See how other curcumin products compare to CuraPro ® .<br />
