Black Cumin Seed Oil and Curcumin Elite™

Managing a healthy immune and inflammatory response are both critical for maintaining your health. Finding a way to balance these two aspects of your physiology is essential.^1-3 Black cumin seed oil, with its wide range of active compounds, has been shown to help maintain the healthy balance between your bodys healthy inflammatory response and immune health.^4-16

Combining black cumin with turmeric

Curcumin is an extract of turmeric. It is a potent nutrient packed with compounds called curcuminoids known to help inhibit inflammation to support healthy heart and joint health, as well as encourage a healthy immune response.^17-21 Our new, proprietary Curcumin Elite™ turmeric extract has 45 times more free curcuminoids and over 270 times more total curcuminoids than standard turmeric extracts.²² That translates to more health benefits for your entire body.

Supports a healthy inflammatory response

Black cumin seed oil has been shown to support the body’s healthy inflammation response by moderating the effect of critical cell-signaling chemicals and hormone-like messengers.^6,8,11,15 Maintaining healthy cell signaling as you age is key to both a healthy inflammatory response as well as immune system function.^2,23

The free curcuminoids in turmeric extract promote the body’s healthy inflammation response as well.^18,19 They also help inhibit inflammatory factors like arachidonic acid, cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and cytokine compounds to support heart health, brain health and whole-body health.^16,24,25

Boosts the immune system

Black cumin seed oil also supports the body’s natural defenses by encouraging optimal function of a healthy immune system. It does this by helping to maintain the vital defensive activities of macrophages and helper T-cells that work together to bolster your immune system.^15,26-30 Curcumin further promotes immune system health and supports a healthy inflammatory response.^31-34

Two essential functions in one supplement

Black Cumin Seed Oil and Curcumin Elite™ from Life Extension® helps you maintain a healthy immune system and promotes a healthy inflammation response with a single, convenient supplement formula. Plus, we’ve recently upgraded our formula to include ultra-bioavailable Curcumin Elite™, which has much better absorption than standard curcumin.
