CURCUMIN + GINGER Swiss Herbal, 60 capsules

Regulates the immune system: Turmeric and ginger are especially known for their anti-inflammatory effects. Curcumin, a biologically active compound in Curcuma longa, inhibits the activity of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Also, excessive influx of macrophages to the site of inflammation is reduced, so tissues can be protected from damage. The mechanism of action of ginger is quite similar to that of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Studies have proven the analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties of this plant. Turmeric and ginger regulate the activity of the immune system, but also support it in the fight against harmful microbes: certain bacteria, viruses and fungi. Their active substances reduce the development of these microorganisms and improve the efficiency of defense.

Supports good mood: Turmeric and ginger are known for their effects on immunity, but they can also be effective in improving mood. Research shows that both herbs reduce the activity of monoamine oxidase A, an enzyme responsible for the breakdown of serotonin and dopamine, important neurotransmitters that are critical to mental well-being. In addition, ginger's active ingredients—especially gingerol and shogaol—stimulate receptors for these brain chemicals, enhancing their activity in the nervous system. Research shows that the most important compound in Curcuma longa, curcumin, regulates the functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is activated especially in response to stressful stimuli. Due to the hyperactivity of the HPA axis, there is an intense secretion of cortisol, the so-called "stress hormone". Curcumin affects the HPA axis by reducing cortisol levels. Therefore, it can improve stress symptoms and improve overall mood.

Supports the nervous system: Both ingredients in this synergistic recipe have neuroprotective properties. Curcumin stimulates the synthesis of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), one of the main omega-3 acids necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous system. It also supports the process of neurogenesis, in which new nerve cells are produced, as well as neuroplasticity, which results in the formation of new connections between neurons. Ginger protects brain cells from damage caused by insufficient oxygen supply. Thanks to all these mechanisms, both ingredients support intellectual work with cognitive functions, including working memory and attention. In addition, they improve the speed of information processing and facilitate learning abilities. What's more, research shows that turmeric and ginger contain active compounds that act as monoamine oxidase A inhibitors, stopping the breakdown of dopamine and serotonin, neurotransmitters that play an important role in the efficient functioning of the brain. Thus, both ingredients in this formula help to maintain a balanced activity of these brain chemicals, having a positive effect on the entire nervous system.
