Thorne curcumin phytosome 1000 mg​ is a dietary supplement containing Meriva, a proprietary curcumin-phosphatidylcholine phytosome complex that is the most studied curcumin formulation available on the market presently. It is advantageous over other curcumin supplements due to the phytosome complex that allows superior curcumin absorption and bioavailability thereby amplifying the health benefits. If you have sore joints and want to get moving again, this supplement is right for you to get relief from joint soreness.

Curcumin is the well-known active ingredient of turmeric that has been used traditionally since ancient times and is considered beneficial for joint, gut and liver health. It has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The dose of Meriva is 1-1.2 g/day to relieve chronic inflammatory conditions. It relieves pain by down-regulating the inflammatory response induced by curcumin. As inflammation subsides, analgesic benefits are more amplified. Thorne curcumin phytosome 1000 mg​ provides the right dosage and benefits joint, gut and liver health.  

Research evidence:

  • The absorption of Meriva is 29 times greater compared to the ordinary curcumin. 
  • A study found that meriva is helpful for osteoarthritis patients. It improves the quality of these patients and also reduces NSAID usage.  It's comparable to ibuprofen and acetaminophen and is safe and well-tolerated.
  • A 2 g dosage corresponding to 400 mg curcumin, Meriva has analgesic (pain relieving) properties. It is comparable to a standard dose of acetaminophen but lower than the therapeutic (100 mg) dose of nimesulide. The analgesic effect was achieved in 2 hours after administration.
  • A study mentioned that Meriva is better tolerated compared to nimesulide. We know that nimesulide requires the use of antacids to alleviate gastric irritation.
  • Curcumin and acetaminophen have similar mechanisms of action.
  • We already know that curcumin reduces pain and inflammation in joints. A study found that curcumin supplements reduced pain in osteoarthritis with a lower rate of gastrointestinal upset.  
  • Curcumin is effective with other anti-inflammatory herbs like Boswellia. Along with easy joint pain, it also improves morning stiffness and physical function with this combination.
