If you’ve eaten Indian curry, then you’ve benefited from one of its predominant ingredients: turmeric. The herb turmeric has been popular all around Asia throughout history for its medicinal benefits, as well as for a flavorful spice in recipes. Today, turmeric has gained popularity for these uses throughout the rest of the world. Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, harmful molecules that destroy healthy tissues and cells in your body. It may also improve liver function, reduces inflammation, and help fight bacterial infections. You can get the benefits of turmeric by eating it or taking supplements. Since turmeric isn’t easily absorbed into your bloodstream, you have to consume high amounts to maximize its benefits. It may be difficult to do so if you don’t like spicy foods, so a supplement like Thorne Research’s Meriva-500 may be a solution.

Meriva-500 is manufactured with a special process that makes turmeric more readily absorbable by your body. Curcumin (the active compound in turmeric) is attached to phosphatidylcholine (PC), an essential component of human cells; the combination of curcumin and PC is absorbed far more easily than curcumin alone. The active ingredient in Meriva-500 is curcumin phytosome.

One bottle of Meriva-500 contains 120 vegetarian capsules, and should last for one to two months when taken at the recommended dosage of one to two capsules twice daily. Ask your healthcare provider before taking this supplement if you’re pregnant. Don’t take this supplement if you’re taking the chemotherapy drugs cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) or irinotecan.

Thorne Research strives to provide pure, high-quality supplements to people looking to enhance their health and well-being. Its products are commonly used in prestigious research studies, and are recommended by many doctors and health care practitioners. The company always goes the extra mile to ensure that Thorne Research dietary supplements are safe and effective for immune-compromised, allergic, and chemically sensitive patients.

INTERACTIONS/CONTRAINDICATIONS Curcumin has been shown to reduce the therapeutic efficacy of cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) in animal studies. In vitro research revealed that curcumin decreased camptothecin-induced death of cultured breast cancer cells. Curcumin might also interfere with the absorption and efficacy of the chemotherapy drug irinotecan, used to treat colon cancer. The concurrent use of curcumin with these agents should be avoided.

Meriva
By Sally from Roswell, NM on June 25, 2012
Meriva -500 is a tremendous help controlling my fibromyalgia pain.
Pros:
That it is in capsule form.
Cons:
That I cannot get it in a 1500mg capsule.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Inflamatory Control
By Sally from Roswell, NM on May 9, 2012
I found Meriva -500 by Thorne Research to be moderately effective in helping control my inflammatory process.
Pros:
Like that it is a capsule and not a tablet.
Cons:
Not as effective as I had hoped.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Worked for the most part
By Lucas from Latham, NY on March 30, 2012

Pros:
Worked once
Cons:
Didn't work during another flare up

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Meriva-500 120 Vegetarian Capsules by Thorne Research
By John Robinson from San Francisco on March 23, 2012
I am taking Meriva Curcumin for arthritis and also in conjunction with
Celgene's Revlimid 10mg daily for relapsed Multiple Myeloma. I take 2gs of Meriva daily.
Blood tests for the Myeloma have showed a remarkable decrease in the marker,
Free Light Chains, by 33% in the space of a month and a half. The arthritis is still there, but
steadily improving. I have no idea of Curcumin's actual effect in either case. There hasn't
been much concrete scientific evidence as to its effectiveness. The Pharmaceutical Industry
doesn't stand to profit much from such a commonly available substance, so there's no
wonder not much has been done to test it. As to whether or not Meriva is more
bioavailable due to phytosome, there again the evidence really isn't there. But I use it
anyway because of the proven results with curcumin on tumor growth in vitro, and I
have seen hopeful results in my own case.
Pros:
Positive results.
Cons:
Not much in the way of concrete evidence regarding its effectiveness or bioavailability

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Excellent value for price
By Paula from Fairbanks, Alaska on March 21, 2012
Meriva -500 is what my holistic doctor recommended, and it seems to help alleviate pain more than some other brands I've tried. And this version is a very high potency capsule.
Cons:
Nothing!

I would recommend this item to a friend.
