The health benefits of antioxidants have been in the public eye for some time. Antioxidants may help prevent free radicals present in the environment from causing damage to your body. There are several sources of antioxidants,
including fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Antioxidants work best at the cellular level, where most ailments originate; they neutralize those free radicals, which is also thought to slow down the visible process of aging.
Thorne Research’s
Meriva-500 is a supplement that contains ingredients with powerful antioxidant properties. One of the prominent components is curcumin. It is the orange pigment in turmeric (a spice commonly used in Indian cusine) understood to
promote health. It helps maintain the body’s normal inflammatory response, supporting healing and relieving pain.
In many cases, curcumin isn’t properly absorbed in the bloodstream. As a result, many of its benefits are lost, whether
you take it as a supplement or get it directly from food sources. To circumvent this hurdle, Thorne Research has partnered with the best name in botanical extract technology, Indena S.p.A., to make the optimum absorption of curcumin
extract possible. This vegetarian supplement is highly effective, because it allows more curcumin to reach your cells.
Other potential benefits of curcumin include:
Protecting your liver from environmental toxins and pollutants
Ensuring optimal dissolving and flow of liver enzymes
Enhancing your body’s natural immunity
Each bottle of Meriva-500 contains 60 vegetarian capsules, which should last for up to one month, depending on the dosage recommended by
your physician.
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

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.

Phenomental Product
By Pam from Scottsdale, AZ on February 2, 2012
I took these for arthritis pain as recommended by my Naturopathic Physician. He said they were the best on the market. I was very pleased. Then, I read about Curamin by Terry Naturally and decided I'd give these a try. The Curamin was much more expensive and did not work well at all. I'll swtich back to Meriva with my order.
I would recommend this item to a friend.
No Results

I tried Meriva -500 with the hope it would help alleviate stiffness I have been experiencing in my right thumb. Unfortunately, I have not experienced any real change at all. I have taken two capsules twice a day. I will probably try increasing the dosage to see if that helps.
