CURCUMIN
Curcumin is the main constituent in Turmeric. It is a polyphenol (antioxidant) that is extracted from the rhizome of the plant and has a poor bioavailability when administered orally. At Radiant Health & Wellness, our Naturopathic Doctors use synergistic compounds to improve Curcumin’s oral bioavailability as well as intravenous preparations to bypass the gastrointestinal tract altogether.
HOW IT WORKS
Curcumin acts as an antioxidant to decrease inflammation and decrease cellular oxidative damage. This improves many cellular functions and helps it modulate pain symptoms. It also has the ability to modulate the immune system (helps improve low immune function while decreasing overreacting immune function).
What a treatment session looks like
A typical infusion lasts +90 minutes. During the appointment a qualified healthcare professional will access a vein to administer the Curcumin. At Radiant Health & Wellness we use Health Canada approved equipment and a clean-field technique to minimize risk of infection and complications. Vitals are performed prior to each infusion and patients can relax in one of our comfortable reclining chairs and enjoy complimentary tea and coffee.
