About This Product
Natural Factors CurcuminRich Joint Optimizer combines Theracurmin curcumin with three traditional herbs and a mixed fruit concentrate in each vegetarian capsule, 60 capsules to the box. Used in Herbal Medicine to help relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.
What CurcuminRich Joint Optimizer is licensed for
It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80054435. The licence also lists:
- Used in Herbal Medicine for short-term relief of low back pain.
What is in each capsule
The two largest ingredients are 200 mg of white willow bark extract (Salix alba), standardized to 15% salicin, and 200 mg of devil's claw extract from the secondary root tuber of Harpagophytum procumbens. Next comes 75 mg of boswellia gum resin extract (Boswellia serrata), standardized to 60% boswellic acids.
The curcumin is 30 mg of Theracurmin, a form of curcumin from turmeric root made with very fine particles. Natural Factors rounds out the capsule with 50 mg of its InflamRelief complex, a blend of grape, pomegranate, strawberry, cranberry, blueberry, raspberry and bilberry fruit.
The non-medicinal ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, silica, magnesium stearate, carbohydrate gum and purified water.
How to take it
Adults take 1 or 2 capsules twice a day. Give it at least 2 to 3 months, and check with a health care practitioner for longer use. White willow contains salicin, which is related to ASA: do not use it if you are allergic to ASA or other salicylates, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ask first if you take blood thinners or ASA, or have asthma, stomach ulcers, gallstones or excess stomach acid. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.
How it compares
The plain CurcuminRich Theracurmin capsules hold curcumin alone. Joint Optimizer is the multi-herb version, with willow, devil's claw and boswellia added. At 2 to 4 capsules a day, the 60-count box lasts 15 to 30 days.
Who it suits
Adults with osteoarthritis who want an herbal combination rather than a single ingredient, and people with occasional low back pain who can take salicylates. It also suits anyone already familiar with the CurcuminRich range who wants the curcumin and the traditional joint herbs in one capsule instead of buying them separately.
Storage
Keep the bottle in its box in a cool, dry place, tightly closed. Do not use it if the seal is broken.
