This supplement is formulated to maintain healthy cells and tissues. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">What&#8217;s in this supplement?<\/h2>\n<p>Each 500 mg capsule contains 300 mg Curcuma longa extract, of which 100 mg is curcumin. The curcumin is encapsulated in <span class=\"begrip-tooltip\" data-term=\"liposomale-vorm\">liposomes<span class=\"begrip-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">?<\/span><span class=\"begrip-popup\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span>: tiny fat globules made from sunflower lecithin. Additionally, the capsule contains maltodextrin as an excipient. The shell is made of HPMC and is therefore plant-based.   <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">The biochemistry of curcumin<\/h2>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Curcumin.<\/strong>  Curcumin is the yellow pigment found in turmeric. It belongs to the <span class=\"begrip-tooltip\" data-term=\"polyfenolen\">polyphenols<span class=\"begrip-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">?<\/span><span class=\"begrip-popup\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span>, a group of plant compounds. <\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Absorption.<\/strong>  Curcumin dissolves poorly in water and the body breaks it down quickly. Therefore, very little enters the bloodstream. <\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">Liposomes.<\/strong>  Liposomes are tiny fat globules that encapsulate the curcumin. This significantly improves absorption into the blood. <\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #2b5040;\">In the body.<\/strong>  Researchers are looking at the influence of curcumin on signals within the cell. This research has primarily been conducted with cells and laboratory animals. <\/p>\n<p style=\"background: #f7f5f0; padding: 12px 16px; font-size: .9rem;\"><strong>How strong is this evidence?<\/strong>  The chemistry and metabolism of curcumin are well-documented. Much of the data on signaling pathways comes from cell and animal trials, and some of those results are debated due to the chemical properties of the substance. Less research has been conducted on dogs and cats.  <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">What does this supplement do?<\/h2>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Curcuma longa extract is formulated to maintain healthy cells and tissues.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Curcumin is a polyphenol given for protection against <span class=\"begrip-tooltip\" data-term=\"vrije-radicalen\">free radicals<span class=\"begrip-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">?<\/span><span class=\"begrip-popup\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">The liposomal form was chosen to support the absorption of this fat-soluble substance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #2b5040; border-bottom: 2px solid #eaf4ea; padding-bottom: 8px; margin: 28px 0 16px;\">How to use this supplement<\/h2>\n<div style=\"display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit,minmax(160px,1fr)); gap: 3px; margin-bottom: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #eaf4ea; padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"font-size: .72rem; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #2b5040; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Initial phase<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: .85rem; color: #333;\">Give twice daily for a maximum of 6 to 8 weeks: under 10 kg \u00bd capsule, from 10 to 30 kg 1 capsule, and over 30 kg 2 capsules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #d5e8d5; padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"font-size: .72rem; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #2b5040; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Maintenance<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: .85rem; color: #333;\">After that, give the same amount once daily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #c4dcc4; padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"font-size: .72rem; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #162920; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Administration<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: .85rem; color: #333;\">Give the capsule whole or open it and mix the contents into the food.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"background: #2b5040; padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"font-size: .72rem; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .1em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #d5cd47; margin-bottom: 8px;\">Medication<\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: .85rem; color: #fff;\">Curcumin can affect the breakdown of some medications.
